What to bring to the camp with a girl and a boy?

The approach of summer is always a joyful moment. And not only because it is the sun, warmth and long-awaited vacation. And also because the children have finally finished the next academic year. But at the same time, there comes a period of worries - sending a child to a summer camp. And then you should know some simple rules. What to take with you to the camp, so that the rest turns out to be fun, interesting and unforgettable?

General recommendations

First of all, it is necessary to assess a child's readiness for a long stay away from parents. The optimal age when it is already possible to plan a trip to the camp is 9-10 years, since by that time a certain social adaptation in the school and kindergarten has usually passed. And besides, the child is not so much attached to the parents and is ready for a certain independence. However, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of children.

For the first experience it is better to choose a camp located not very far from home. Then there will be the opportunity to periodically visit your baby. Or take him if he is too uncomfortable. In the following times you can already send it to more distant trips, including at sea.

Before sending it is necessary to learn about the specifics of the camp, its features, the availability of a medical cabinet, professional educators. To do this, you can read reviews, view information, talk with the parents of children who have already rested there.

It is equally important to set up your child in the right way. Describe to him this trip as an incredible adventure, to tell what will be interesting and fun. Maybe share my own experience.

What to bring to camp: basic requirements

• Medical certificate from the pediatrician under the form № 079 / at. It lists all the main diseases that the child has, vaccinations and other important information.
• Information about the absence of infectious diseases.
• Check-in camp.
• A photocopy of the child's identity document .
• If a child was taken home more than a day, a new certificate of infectious diseases will be required.

Additionally, it is worth notifying the administration about the possible features of the child, about allergies to some medicines or products, whether he knows how to swim, whether he can be given physical exertion, and tell about his mental state (if there are problems in communicating with peers). This will greatly facilitate the work of the educator and counselors.

What you need to take to the camp

It should be very carefully approached to choose the bag with which the child will go. It should be comfortable enough and not too heavy. It is desirable that it was still not very old-fashioned in order to avoid possible ridicule of peers.

To leave nothing in the camp, it's best to make a list of things that have been packed, and to give it with you. Then, when packing them back, the child will be checked against the list, and the likelihood that something will be forgotten significantly decreases. You can also mark your clothes or embroider your initials.

Below are some sample lists (what to take to the camp).

Articles of clothing

What to take to the camp girl and boy? Required:

• Headgear: baseball cap, cap, panama, hat, kerchief or bandana - anything that the child will agree to wear, but the headpiece must be required.
• Underwear in several copies. The amount depends on whether he himself will wash it or put it in a bag, so that the mother will take it.

• T-shirts or T-shirts (in the amount of 5 pieces).
• Windbreaker or light jacket (depending on climate).
• A jacket with a long sleeve (preferably a few).

• Something elegant for a disco and for a solemn event;
• Elastic and hair clips;
• Nightgown or pajamas.

Other

What else can you take to the camp?

• Sewing accessories. As practice shows, it is enough to have black and white threads and one or two needles.
• Stationery. Must be a notebook and pen. But you can take pencils, markers and paints. Since quite often there are some creative events, you need to draw posters, organize games and events. However, here it is more necessary to learn about the presence of all this in the camp - usually each detachment has its own set of such accessories. However, all this quickly ends, so the presence, for example, of self-adhesive colored paper will give the child a certain authority.
• Medicines. Self-medication, of course, it is better not to deal with. And all serious medicines, if they are necessary, you need to give the doctor of the camp, having painted out how they should be applied. But antiseptics like iodine and zelenki, bandages, cotton wool and plaster are desirable to have with them.

What is not recommended to give with you

• Any technique. Even a mobile phone is not always necessary. You can contact your parents from the camp's office, but having a phone sometimes becomes a problem. The child sometimes can not distract from him, misses all the events of the camp. In addition, mobile phones are very often and easily lost, especially during outdoor games on the street. Therefore, it is better to leave the phone at home. The same goes for the tablet, laptop and any other expensive technology. You can take a camera, but it is desirable that it be simple.
• Any expensive jewelry, things, perfume and money. Children are not so organized and can easily lose all this. In addition, many tend to boast of an expensive thing, and they can steal it (and that's what happens). Therefore, anything too expensive to take with you is not necessary.
• Food, especially perishable. You can give something to eat for the time of the road, but food is not allowed in the room. Many are eager to come to the weekend, pamper their child with something delicious. You can just eat it together, but do not bring it with you. In the dining rooms are usually very satisfying and fully fed, and so that there are no problems with the diet in the camp should be read before purchasing a voucher.

What is forbidden

Before you send a child to rest, you need to carefully check his bags, jackets and pockets for the presence of any "adult" things. Since many (especially older) children perceive the camp as a kind of freedom from guardianship and try to try various forbidden goods.

• Cigarettes.
• Sharp objects with a long blade - scissors, knives and any other things of this kind.
• Firecrackers, fireworks.
• Alcohol-containing and narcotic substances.
• Toxic sprays.

What else needs to be considered

The child should be able to:

• Carry out hygiene procedures. Independently wash, wash, brush your teeth, clean your nose, wash your hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
• Refuel your bed after sleep.
• Watch your things - carefully fold them before bed, wash, hang wet clothes to dry, clean shoes.
• Know your basic melon - name, surname, patronymic, date of birth, home address, telephone number, parents' names.

Children should know what to take to the camp is possible and what is not. Still it is worth remembering that boys sometimes try to empty their bag, throwing out excess, and girls, on the contrary - to take a lot of unnecessary. Of course, when collecting, you need to take into account the opinion of the child. And before sending to the camp, just double-check everything on the list.
