The hour is upon us, the trunks and bags are already shipped, and the carry-on bags are stuffed so full that they almost don’t zip, but we encourage you to consider packing some summer reading. Sure camp is action-packed, but there are also a lot of great opportunities throughout the summer for campers to read. Most camps have a rest period during which campers are encouraged to take advantage of some quiet time. Reading material is great for those days when a camper just wants some quiet time. Many camps also allow campers to read in bed with a flashlight at night as well. Having a book handy is a great way for campers to wind down so that they are able to fall asleep. Reading also makes for great conversation. If your child does not have assigned summer reading, slipping a book from a popular youth or young adult fiction series might lead to some new friends through a common interest. So if you haven’t already tossed in a book or two, squeeze everything together a little more tightly and shove one in. Neither you nor your camper will regret it.
