Healthy Children Radio: Summer Camp (Audio)

​Attending camp can be an unforgettable experience for young children, and it can have a positive effect on their psychological development, self esteem and independence. Before choosing a camp, parents should evaluate their child's interests, skills and overall well-being to make sure the child can effectively participate in a particular camp environment. Parents should also medically and psychologically prepare their child for camp.

Alison Tothy, MD, FAAP, a pediatric emergency medicine specialist, comes on the Healthy Children radio show to discuss how to gauge when your child is ready for overnight camp or day camp, and what features to consider when choosing a camp.
