![Jese Leos](https://spirituality.nicksucre.com/author/chandler-ward.jpg)
Grandparenting is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. It is a time to share your love, wisdom, and experiences with your grandchildren. But it can also be a time of challenges, especially if you are not prepared for the demands of modern-day grandparenting.

In the past, grandparents were often called upon to babysit their grandchildren. This was a way to help out their children and give them a break. But today, more and more grandparents are finding themselves playing a more active role in their grandchildren's lives. They are not just babysitters; they are involved in their grandchildren's education, extracurricular activities, and even their social life.
This new era of grandparenting has been called "Camp Grandma." It is a term that was coined by author and blogger Mary Pipher in her book of the same name. Pipher argues that "Camp Grandma" is a new and different way of grandparenting that is more focused on creating meaningful experiences and connections with grandchildren.
There are many benefits to "Camp Grandma." For grandparents, it can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment. It can also help them stay active and engaged in life. For grandchildren, "Camp Grandma" can provide a sense of security and stability. It can also help them learn new skills and develop their interests.
If you are considering becoming a "Camp Grandma," there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it is important to set realistic expectations. You may not be able to spend as much time with your grandchildren as you would like. But even a small amount of time can make a big difference.
Second, it is important to find activities that you and your grandchildren will both enjoy. This could include anything from playing games to going for walks to reading books. The most important thing is to find activities that you can share and enjoy together.
Third, it is important to be flexible. "Camp Grandma" is not a one-size-fits-all approach. You need to find what works best for you and your grandchildren. Be open to trying new things and be willing to adjust your plans as needed.
"Camp Grandma" is a wonderful way to connect with your grandchildren and create lasting memories. It is a gift that you can give them that will stay with them for a lifetime.
Here are some additional tips for being a "Camp Grandma":
* Be present. When you are with your grandchildren, put away your phone and other distractions. Give them your full attention and let them know that you are there for them. * Listen to your grandchildren. Let them talk about their interests, their friends, and their dreams. Really listen to what they have to say and show them that you care about their thoughts and feelings. * Be yourself. Don't try to be someone you're not. Your grandchildren will love you for who you are, not what you pretend to be. * Have fun! Grandparenting should be enjoyable for both you and your grandchildren. Find activities that you all enjoy and make the most of your time together.
