The ideas work for post-summer camp debriefing but also for our kids' other adventures and experiences. Sara is a 20-year veteran camp director and parenting trainer who has great insights and ideas about&amp;nbsp;parenting and counseling kids. Sara, with her husband Steve, owns and directs Yosemite Sierra Summer Camp, a Christian adventure camp for children ages 8 to 16 years old founded 45 years ago by Sara's parents Jim and Marna Slevcove. Together, the Kuljises&amp;nbsp;also direct Emerald Cove Day Camp in San Juan Capistrano, a day camp that serves children from kindergarten through 4th grade. 9 Ways to Help Kids Process Experiences  Plan time to rest\/process. Listen to their stories. Look through photos together. Ask thoughtful questions: \u2022 What did you enjoy\/love? \u2022 What was challenging? \u2022 When (not if!) you do it again, what will you do differently? Avoid &quot;interviewing for pain&quot; (Wendy Mogel). Bring home a ritual or tradition: \u2022 Flower Sundays \u2022 WOWs \u2022 Goodnight Song Continue with an interest that's been sparked (archery, guitar, etc.). Create a remembrance. Encourage kids to stay in touch with new friends.
