Top Summer Camp Tips for Parents

Meanwhile, school now officially out for the summer. Now that today is the first official day of summer and that means it's time for summer camp. Angelic Angelica Toru had a chance to speak to some of the moms about how to prepare when it comes to sending your kid off. Prepared. Take a look. School is out and camp is in, I spoke to two Greenwich moms who are part of the local moms network with a list of things to keep in mind, makes lunch a little bit more fun. First up is filling those lunch boxes. It doesn't have to be a fancy lunch. It doesn't have to be a hot lunch. But trying to get your fruit and vegetables, your dairy and proteins and that can be in the form of hummus, little cheeses or string is things kids love to eat but that they're still getting their protein, their veggies, their dairy, some carbs, little banana muffins. You know, we make quesadillas or just a great turkey sandwich. Don't forget for in between activities, snacks, throw in something sweet that they might like if you're in a time crunch. We love the bars. We love the smoothies. They're super quick and easy. We don't think you should be reinventing the wheel for camp. It's usually a new experience for your kids. They're excited. You want them to have a nutritious and filling lunch so that they're ready to enjoy their day. Moving on to filling those bags for the day. Of course, bathing suits and towels are very important, but also we tend to forget the goggles and I know that some kids won't jump in the water without goggles. Of course, safety is number one. So before all of that, we put sunscreen on our kids before they put on their bathing suits. And then we, we add some in the bag so that they can reapply when needed. We have a big, uh, canister of water. We also have, you know, uh, sun hats, I guess you could call them to make sure that they're not blinded by the sun. And if they're at the beach or anything like that, when it's, if it's part of camp, we have water shoes and don't forget to label everything because you would like these things to come back with them at the end of the day and then we are ready to do it all over again for the next day of camp.
