A Roadblock to Snowplowing?\u00a0 Summer Camp.<\/u><\/p>\n

A note from Pine Forest Camp (our sister co-ed camp) Owner\/Director, Mickey Black:<\/p>\n

You may have been hearing a lot lately about \u201cSnowplow\u201d parents, those who move everything and anything out of the way to smooth the road for their children on the path of life.\u00a0 In my opinion, many\u00a0 of these parents may even do so unwittingly, with the best of intentions, but not in their child\u2019s best long\u2013term interest. What\u2019s an effective\u00a0 way to prevent that?\u00a0 Send them off to a great camp like Lake Owego.<\/p>\n

My daughter and co-director, Anna Black Morin, a parent of two girls of her own, Ruby and Hattie (Hattie is named after her great, great grandfather and PFC\u2019s founder Hughie Black), put it this way:<\/p>\n

\u201cSnowplow parents prepare the road for kids. Responsible parents prepare kids for the road. One concrete way to prepare kids for the road is to give the gift of a good, scratch that, a great residential, long-term, old-fashioned summer camp!<\/em><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t build resilience by eliminating struggle. You build resilience by normalizing it: teaching kids to see obstacles as temporary hurdles. Homesickness! Conflict with a friend! Advocating for yourself! Advocating for a friend! Trying something new (that might take practice)! Making decisions independent of your parents! The gifts of these experiences become immeasurable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Camp is less than 100 days away, and this generation needs it now more than ever. And not just because it\u2019s screen free, but there\u2019s that too!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
