Family Coaching

Consulting Camp recognizes that camp is a transformative journey—not just for campers, but for parents as well. The Family Coaching service is designed to provide camps with the tools to coach and support parents through every phase of the camp experience.

Sample Services:

  • Parent Support Groups & Custom Webinars

  • Coaching Through Common Camp Scenarios; helping parents navigate the emotional ups and downs of camp life.

  • Overnight Camp Preparation – for example, managing separation at the bus or airport, preparing for visiting day, writing meaningful letters/emails, and responding to homesick or less-than-positive letters.

  • Day Camp Support – for example, encouraging positive end-of-day conversations, helping children handle disappointments (like not passing the swim test), and guiding them in making friends.

  • Parent-Camp Communication Strategies – for example, setting healthy boundaries, improving parent-camp relationships, and managing parental anxiety for a better camper experience.

My goal is to empower parents with the tools and mindset to support their child’s success at camp, ensuring that the experience is enriching, positive, and growth-oriented for the entire family.
