Although camp can be an important part of a child’s development, obviously families are central and critical as well, especially if the peer group is not more central than the parents.  To help parents raise healthy children – to partner with parents, Camp Augusta is doing three things.  One, we are providing a healthy, safe community environment where kids can have fun, and learn a little while they’re here (see Augusta Difference).  Two, counselors write extensive letters to the parents about their child’s experience so that there can be some continuity between camp and home.  Three, we have this component to our website with topics we hope you’ll find useful and fun.  We use these resources, and MANY others, to train our mature (most out of college) staff.
