Worry: How to feel less stressed and have more fun (An American Girl Book)

Here’s a quiz to help you know if you’re ready for camp!
https://forms.gle/o6ocEDACwBf6BKJs9

Instructions:

Take the quiz. If you get a score that is 70% or higher, you’re ready for camp! If you get a score lower than that, go through the answers. Tips to help you get ready will be under any questions marked as “wrong”. If a question is marked as wrong, that doesn’t mean you got it wrong, it’s just how I got the program to work and show the tip.

If you got an 80 or a 70, you might be ready, but I recommend going through the answers and working on any issues.

Remember. Camp isn’t for everyone, but you should try it at least once. You never know if you’ll like it or not until you try!
