1. Ways to Make Your
Child's Birthday More Special

2. One thing many counselors who
work at a day camp for kids see
is that when it is a child's birthday
the event gets mixed into the day.

3. While this is fine, especially since
parents have plans for the weekend
or even that night, the truth
is that children's birthdays are only
very special to them for a certain
number of years.

4. For this reason we think it's
a great idea to make a big deal out
of your child's special day
and encourage others to do so,
as well.

5. This can include making
the birthday an event that begins
the night before.

6. It will take some planning,
but it is the kind of thing we do
for the people we love.

7. Starting the Birthday
the Night Before

8. When we say that the birthday starts early,
we don't mean that you let your child open a present,
or that you should get into the tradition of celebrating
a birthday-eve.

9. Instead, you can prep your child for the next day at dinner
that evening by asking what he or she would like to eat
the next night.

10. During this conversation
you can tell him that if
he gets to bed on time there
will be a surprise
in the morning.

11. This surprise can include
a special breakfast (pancakes
instead of cereal, perhaps),
opening a present,
or extra time to play or watch
a show before going to camp.

12. With this in mind, your child
will be motivated
for his special day.

13. A Special Ending
to a Great Day

14. If you pick your child up from school, you can stop
somewhere for him to pick out a present, get a movie to
watch, or even choose a favorite drink to go with dinner.

15. This can be a big deal in homes that don't allow soda
or sugary, non-juice drinks.

16. At home there can be balloons
waiting at the front door
and maybe even a sign.

17. By including these festive details
you can add something extra to
the day.

18. From there it is the usual birthday
dinner with dessert and some
presents.

19. If there's time, maybe the family
can watch a movie or show
together, or even play a game.

20. There are many ways to make
your child's birthday even more
special than it already is.

21. By making his or her day
an all-day event, you can be sure
it will be a memory that lasts
a lifetime!

22. On the weekend, give your child a fun birthday party at
Maplewood. It will include organized activities and games.

23. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe and busy
with arts and crafts, games, sports, rock climbing,
gymnastics and more.
