STEP 11 - HOMESICKNESS

broken image

Summer Camp sometimes results in a bit of homesickness.

Some kids, especially veteran campers, are so excited to be at camp that they don’t have any issue with homesickness at all. In fact, die-hard campers are often more affected by “Campsickness,” or missing camp after returning home.

But NEW campers, and even some returning campers, sometimes have trouble adjusting to camp life or go through feelings of sadness relating to missing home.

Fortunately, Essential Oils are here to help.

The GROUNDING BLEND helps promote feelings of tranquility, calmness, well-being, and emotional balance. It contains the relaxing oils of Spruce, Ho Wood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus.

This blend already contains Fractionated Coconut Oil, so your child can apply topically when he is feeling down or missing home. At bedtime, kids can place two or three drops on their pillow or bedding to help calm and relax these emotions and promote a restful sleep.

If you’re a counselor of a young or new group of campers, placing three or four drops in a diffuser as campers arrive or at night can help calm nerves and promote harmony and balance.

CAUTION: While this blend does contain Fractionated Coconut Oil, you can further dilute for sensitive skin.
