I'm Bridget Bergen, filling in for Brian today.

And now we're going to wrap up today's show with your calls on the subject of camp sickness.

You probably know about home sickness, but we're talking about a very specific version,

but afflix kids who come home after a particularly euphoric few weeks or maybe even months away at

sleep away camp with new friends and new rituals and maybe even a new sense of self.

Lister's, I want to hear your stories of camp sickness.

Do you remember that feeling of coming home from summer camp?

How many of you maybe picked up your kids from camp just recently?

Maybe some of you even made that long drive to pick them up this past weekend.

We want to know, is your kid feeling campsick?

Give us a call at 2-1-2-433WNYC, that's 2-1-2-433-9692.

What is it that they're missing about camp most right now?

Is it their new friends or maybe a specific activity they discovered a passion for?

Maybe it's just the fresh air or mountain views or being out in nature that's got your kids campsick.

Is there anything that you're doing to help them deal with the sadness that they're experiencing?

We'd love to hear from you about what your kids are missing, what they're telling you,

about their camp experience, and what is even camp like in 2023?

Do kids still not have access to their phones or other forms of technology?

Are they still coming home with risks full of friendship bracelets?

Give us a call 2-1-2-433WNYC, that's 2-1-2-433-9692, and you can text or tweet at Brian Lair.

And joining us around the radio campfire, so to speak, for this conversation, is Sandra

Fox, a visiting assistant professor of American Jewish History at New York University.
