There are lots of wonderful summer experiences for kids and teens to partake in. Sending your kid to overnight camp is one of the most popular choices.

Mental and Physical Preparation

Proper Attire
What is the first thing your audience will notice about you? Most likely it will be what you are wearing. Pay close attention to how your dress is representing you. Check with the event organizers to be sure that you won't under or over dress. Do not wear anything that takes away from your presentation such as big jewelry, loud colors, or excessive makeup unless it is part of your presentation.

Gestures should be natural and represent what you are feeling and thinking at that moment. If you are excited, and grand gestures are natural for you, go for it!

- Hands clasped in front (fig leaf) convey tension.
- Crossed-arms may portray you as defensive and unopened.
Positive or open gestures:
- "At ease stance" (feet about shoulder width apart with toes pointed forward).
