I want to take the opportunity to share some of my resources with other camp professionals. This resource is a Google Slide presentation for new counselors or counselors in training to learn about homesickness. The training can be used on its own or in combination with other material. There are notes to help with delivery of the presentation.
The training goes over the following topics:
- Definition of Homesickness
- Identifying Common Symptoms
- Identifying Common Triggers
- Preventative Strategies
- Strategies for When Homesickness Occurs
- Dealing With Parents
- Example Scenarios
All material is based on my experience in the camp field (8+ years) and information from the American Camping Association.
Please enjoy! Feel free to make a copy of the slides and change the information to fit with your camp.
If you like the training, make sure to share this blog so that others can use it as well. :)
