This post is so timely! I never went to summer camp but my daughter is headed to her first sleep-away camp for Girl Scouts at the end of this month. I'm excited for her but nervous she'll feel homesick. Now that my husband is teaching, he will mostly share his summers with our kids. We still have help from grandparents and fill our days with the library, a play cafe, and day camps.
That sounds like a really great balance of childcare. And I’m so excited for your daughter! I remember my first time ever sleeping on my own away from home and I definitely felt homesick but focusing on all the fun helped keep me distracted. 🤞your daughter has a blast!
These all look fantastic—adding them to our holds list at the library now! We’ve been on summer vacation since the Thursday before Memorial Day and our childcare situation is me and I feel like we’ve finally found the rhythm and gotten used to the more relaxed, loosy-goosy pace.
My guys go back second and third weeks of August. We’ve been having lots of pool time and head to the beach soon for a family trip. Hope you guys have a nice start to summer!

Thank you! You inspired me to look for camp-themed books yesterday and I found a couple to share.

When does summer break end for you? And any fun things planned for your summer with the kids?
