She said that camp is too chaotic and unstructured for introverted or sensitive kids. I wish she had told us before we signed up!
My son is open to trying another camp so I signed him up for a quiet, nature camp where he will only spend three hours a day with a small group of children learning about bugs, soil chemistry and wilderness survival skills. The psychologist said it's a good fit for sensitive kids.
I would still talk with the people who run this camp before it starts-- get information from them about how they handle children who don't instantly fit in, and give the person who will be with the children a sense of who your child is.
Preparation can help ease the way-- adults who run camps can't always be expected to "get it" but often will try hard if they know there's a challenge.
