In light of it being Valentine’s month surrounding love, I thought I would share a story that I learned about just this past weekend. I was at a dance convention in Arizona sharing with the families and dancers there all about Camp Telaphiba as an amazing summer option outside of the competitive dance world.

I think of Josie every time a concerned parent asks me about how to know if their child is ready for camp. I think about how much Josie grew without me even realizing that was happening every single hour of every single day she was with us.

The beginning of camp can be a little scary. You don’t know anyone, you are in a new place, it can really bring out your nerves. BUT, everyone feels exactly the same way you do so I often tell kids to just try to connect with one other person within the first few minutes at camp. It will make you breathe just a little easier if you can smile and connect with just one person. This happens pretty naturally at Camp Telaphiba as you are introduced to your bunkmates almost immediately. Take a chance on putting yourself out there because the sooner you do, the better you feel and the easier it gets to keep doing.

Hi! I’m Lisa Pevateaux, the founder of Camp Telaphiba and I thought it might be a good idea to tell you why I created camp in the first place.
