VISITING DAY SURVIVAL GUIDE
$5
Five dollars. Cheaper than one iced coffee, and it will save your entire Visiting Day.
I took everything I know (the candy your kid is actually praying for, the Hulken, the counselor bribe etiquette, the goodbye that doesn't require a Xanax) and put it in one 20-page guide, organized in the exact order your day happens. You've spent $15K on camp tuition. Spend $5 on not blowing the one day you're allowed in.
This guide is for you if:
Your kid wrote "bring candy" and you need to know it's blue Slime Lickers, not whatever's at checkout — the wrong candy WILL be discussed in the bunk
You want to walk in like the mom who knows things, not the one schlepping seven bags uphill blaming her husband's entire bloodline
You need the script for what to say — because "you look skinny, are you eating?" is how a homesickness spiral
You'd like to leave with one hug and a clean exit, and save your tears for the car like a lady
Inside: the 10-step game plan, the complete candy arsenal, the Color War move that makes you a genius, "say this, not that," the emergency I-forgot list, a fill-in sheet for each kid, and every single favorite linked — so you can shop the whole list in one sitting and let Amazon Prime express your love.
Works whether it's your first Visiting Day or your tenth. Reusable every summer, God willing.
