The opposite of homesick (or home-
lonely; medically, you're not actually ill). Intense longing to be back at summer
camp. Afflicted persons may show a variety of symptoms, including melancholy, reminiscence, and attempts to incorporate
camp culture, routine, and lingo into "real world" life.
The only known cure for campsickness is to send the afflicted person back to
camp. Otherwise, be patient with them. Try to distract them without making them feel as though you don't care about how they feel. Listen to their
camp stories, even though you've likely heard them more times than you care to. If possible, try to incorporate their favourite camp customs into the "real world". Encourage contact with other "camp
people", because they will share experiences and alleviate the feeling of being alone.
