I took Grace to her first sleep away camp on Sunday. She's gone until Friday. It's Girl Scout camp in Prescott.
Before we left, I was pretty anxious about how she will handle it. She is generally self-sufficient except for going to sleep on her own. The counselors do NOT sleep in the cabins with them, so that is my biggest worry. The camp director explained that the counselors do sit with them for a while after lights out and are very nearby. I hope it's like a big sleepover because she seems to do ok with those.
Drop off went well. No tears from either of us. She didn't look back as she skipped off to her group. That's a good sign, right?
I hope she eats. She's pretty picky. She may end up making meals from the candy at the Trading Post.
She is excited to make crafts, sing songs, do skits, archery, campfires, and take showers (huh?).
I've already sent the first two of three care packages. Tommy thinks that is too many.
I wonder if she will write home. Tommy never did. : ( Aunt Kackery gave her some cute stationary that might just inspire her to write. (Thanks Kathy!). If she does, I'll share her report.
Now what will I do with all my free time? SATC2 anyone? Pedicure? Gym? Yea, right on that last one.
