Many parents and grandparents have thoughts about visiting day in summer camps. Strong thoughts. Positive and negative thoughts. No one is “pareve” about it.

We queried our parents and grandparents to share their thoughts about this day.

Dr. Lightman
We supported every food establishment in the country during visiting days. But the kids were happy to see us and we to see them.

Reena Vegh
I like seeing my kids. But my 17-year old son thinks it’s silly because it makes kids more homesick.

Esther Jeidel
Laundry. Hugs. Kisses. Food shopping.

Adina Hoch
Love it. Love to see my kids and to see how they’re doing and meet the counselors and seek the bunk houses. It’s their life for now. It’s challenging day in the car. We just focus on the positive.

Rochayl Muller
Thank G-d my children’s camp does not have one.

Meira Tepfer
I’m in the country so it’s not a big deal to me. They come to me and I do their laundry and feed them. We make a barbecue. There’s no schlepping. It’s a chill day. But it’s not an essential day.

Miriam Vegh
Travelling. Family time.

Leah Sherevsky
Long car rides. And this year, there’s Camp Sternberg does not have it. But I miss seeing my daughter.
