I love this piece and find myself nodding vigorously as I read. I went to camp every summer starting at the age of 10 (all the way through to being a counselor during college) and my daughter started at my summer camp last year. It's impossible to convey how critically important camp was to my developing into the adult I am today (jury's out on whether that's a good or bad outcome :)). She was 8 when she went last summer for 10 days and I was quite taken aback by the number of parents who were shocked and even derisive of our choice to send her. She loved it, wanted to go, and wants to go back. xox

我喜欢这篇文章,发现自己大力点头我读。每年夏天我去营地10岁时开始(在大学期间作为一个顾问),去年我的女儿开始我的夏令营。无法传达至关重要的阵营是如何发展成成人我今天(陪审团是否好或坏的结果:))。她去年夏天去时是8 10天,我很吃惊的父母感到震惊,甚至嘲笑我们的选择送她。她很喜欢,想去的地方,想回去。

我非常喜欢美国夏令营!2012年第一次进入夏令营时我才8岁多，当我听说自己暑假可以到只有孩子的地方去冒险，远离家和爸爸妈妈,我激动极了。开始我不太会对夏令营的老师表达我的想法,但她们非常有耐心，直到明白我的需要。在夏令营的时间过得飞快，4周很快结束了，可是我还不想回家，分别时每个认识的朋友都拥抱与我告别，害得我都掉金豆子啦!回到国内看见第一次分别这么久的爸爸妈妈，我又觉得非常开心。爸爸说我懂事了，会关心家人了，知道学习要主动了，最主要的是英语口语进步很大，只是单词量不够，要努力。那时我就对爸爸说：我下决心2013年还要去美国夏令营，爸爸很支持我，非常感谢爸爸妈妈啊!终于2013年我如愿以偿再次前往美国夏令营!到了夏令营发现有好多朋友、老师都是去年认识的，真是开心啊!(名字)还说我的英文水平提高很多啦，我们可以说很多话啦!这个暑假我的收获更丰富了，把所有的运动项目都玩了个遍，每天游三次泳，还给爸爸妈妈和弟弟做了一个小木屋,与美国小伙伴做游戏时学会玩一种扑克，还专门带了两幅回家教家人一起玩。所谓独乐乐不如众乐乐……2014年的美国夏令营我还要再参加!希望到时天气不要像2012年时忽冷忽热，像2013年时一直很热，惹来很多蚊子，把我和一起参加美国夏令营的泽锋哥哥咬得够呛啊!现在开始期待去美国夏令营的日子快点到来!

“Who sends a seven year-old to camp?”
I start with this question because I got it a lot when I made the decision to send my daughter for her Elfin summer — and I repeatedly asked it of myself when I was packing her trunk. “Who sends a seven year-old off to camp?”
But the decision to do it was actually very easy: my daughter has always had a daring spirit and when she heard that there were places for kids to go adventuring by themselves away from their families, she was thrilled. My husband and I could have said, “No, wait until you are older,” but we wanted to encourage her. We were frank with her about the challenges — yes, she would probably have moments of wanting to go home. That was normal. How was she going to handle it? we asked. She would talk to her counselor, she said, and find something to keep her busy. Good plan, we said. At worst, we told her, you’ll have ten days that were harder than you expected but you will come home proud that you tried something new. Her ten days as an Elfin were magic. She did not want to come home at the end. I believe that her age actually helped her. Seven year-olds are adaptable, and so much more capable of living in the moment even than nine or ten year-olds are. She was not yet able to project too far into the future or waste time imagining worst-case scenarios. My hope is that by giving her such a positive experience at this stage we are helping her to strengthen that optimism and positive outlook as an indelible part of her character.
“Your daughter wears a uniform to camp? What kind of place is this?” Actually, Hive’s uniform standard was one of the selling points for me. As the mother of daughters I am constantly battling materialism, early sexualization, and the kind of caste system that emerges among girls based on what they wear. The Hive uniform eliminates ninety percent of those problems before the kid opens the car door her first day. Uniforms do the opposite of taking away individuality – they encourage girls to see beyond the superficial and to meet each other as they really are. My daughter has great pride in her Hive uniform — it identifies her as part of the Hive family. It contributes to her sense of Hive as a special place away from other places, where she wears clothes she only wears there. The one uniform piece she wears at home is her green Hive fleece. I have noticed she wears it on days when she has a test or something scary coming and wants to remind herself of how strong and capable she is — and of the great people who are backing her.
“How can you stand to have her gone so long?” The first summer, I really suffered. I walked around with my cell phone plastered to my palm, just in case she might need me. The second summer I started out like that, but it quickly proved exhausting. She was a Lolander now and would be gone three weeks. At some point I realized I was going to have to actually separate — stop thinking about her, stop worrying about her, live my life at home and know that she was good and safe where she was. My husband and I took advantage of the opportunity to focus on the two younger children, spending our weekends doing all the “kiddie” activities their older sister would find boring. It was a neat time, and the two youngest kids had a chance to really get to know each other and were much closer by the end. The time apart was good for all three of them, who discovered they missed each other and appreciated each other more because of it. The separation was also good for her parents.
Letting your child grow up is hard. While a seven or eight year-old is by no means ready to be on her own, she is ready for more independence than her parents may easily accept. Time away from her gave us a chance to view her with fresh eyes when she came home — to see her as her counselors and tent-mates had seen her, and to start thinking about ways to help her be more self-sufficient at home. But, perhaps more subtly, we started to really see her as separate — a person with her own interests and ideas, and her own story.
“What does she get out of camp that she can’t get at home?”
A favorite Chinese proverb: “Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.”
I can teach my daughter how to be a woman, and I can teach her to be a member of our family. But I can’t teach her how to be of her generation. I can’t teach her how to be in the world without me. So part of my job is exposing her to people of her generation I want her to learn from. That is perhaps Hive’s greatest gift. Great counselors are able to nurture campers, as well as encourage their explorations
I have yet to meet a Hive counselor I wasn’t impressed by. I have adored both of my daughter’s tent counselors. They are smart and funny, passionate and capable. Most importantly, they are nurturers. They take great pride in the responsibility to help girls grow into fierce, independent, capable women. In these counselors, my daughter has role models and people to whom she can turn for comfort and encouragement.
It is obvious that the questionnaires we fill out before camp are carefully read: Both summers my daughter has been placed in tents with girls with whom she shared some interests, and also whose strengths and weaknesses balanced each other. At the encouragement of the camp, before she left I talked to my daughter about goals for her summer, both practical (learn to canoe) and spiritual (work on skills for managing test anxiety). The letters we got from her counselor during the summer updated us on her work and provided details about how her test anxiety was manifesting and what tricks they were trying for tackling it. Even the youngest Hivers are ready for a little independence
I practice these skills at home with her — but the part about her learning to do it without me absolutely must happen away from me. And when it comes to choosing the best “away from me” Hive has been a life-changing gift for my daughter.
Hive offers her a version of the world where a woman’s value is weighed in her character and determination, her self-discipline and leadership skills, and her compassion for herself and others. Hive nurtures those things along with a responsibility to pass them on — and a bright hope for a world in which all women are valued this way.
Elizabeth has been a Hive mom for two years, and was a Hiver herself in the 1980s.
