hello, everyone. i'm kate snow. >> i'm ellison barber. "nbc news daily" starts right now.

>> today is wednesday, june 7th, 2023. breaking news, hazy skies, nearly 100 million people under air quality alerts due to smoke flowing south from massive wildfires across canada. the urgent warning about potential health risks and impacts it's having. graduation tragedy. two people dead and more than half a dozen injured after a shooting rampage in virginia. the new information we're learning about the victims, the gunman and a possible motive. a school board brawl in california. the pride month controversy at the center of the argument. and summer nights. how parents can help kids cope if they're feeling a little nervous about sleeping away from home. we begin with that breaking news, a serious health threat impacting one in three americans right now. earth cam giving us a look, that's the new york city

skyline, i promise. a skyline is back there. right now new york city ranks as the worst, yes, the worst air quality worldwide. >> millions of people across the central and eastern parts of the united states are under air quality alerts. it iss so b bad flilights t thi ouout of somome of t the nation busisiest airportrts w were de. this vidideo shows you what is causingg most of thiss unsafe a. it is smoke moving south from those historic wildfires burning up in canada? if you're curious about the air where you live there is an app for that. you can find air now in your device's app store then type in your location and it will give you the air quality index and what you should know before you step outside. we're covering every angle from the ground to the skies to when all of this could end. let's begin with adam harding of our new york city station, wnbc. i know you're in new jersey on the side of the hudson that separates it from new york city. what is it looking like? >> reporter: i got to tell you it is unlike anything we have

seen people likening it to feeling like mars, a reddish yellow haze. you talked about the skyline in weehawken you're supposed to see new york city right here. that is why people move to north jersey. today it's more like what skyline. these are the conditions they have been dealing with, not just today but for several days thanks to wildfires up in canada. today, though, experts fear may just be the worst in terms of air quality concerns, which is why officials across north jersey already telling people to stay inside, keep your windows closed. outdoor activities for the most part have already been postponed. the big concern is the elderly, young people and anyone with respiratory or heart conditions. the air is very dangerous for them and for this entire community. tonight officials trying to get ahead of an unprecedented air quality concern. >> what we're seeing is these plumes of smoke that 15 come down from the wildfires in canada that have come into our region are creating worse air quality conditions in years.

>> i have to use a napkin because i forgot my face mask but my niece who is asthmatic shouldn't be out at all because of the smoke. it's terrible. >> reporter: so kate and ellison, we talk about those conditions. that's what people are dealing with using whatever they can, hands, napkins, shirts, anything to block out the smoke. you know, a lot of us have 95 masks from the covid days. officials tonight saying you may want to use those masks once again because the air is just too thick to breathe in. >> a lot of people tracking down those masks right now. let's turn to the skies and bring in aviation correspondent tom costello. the faa issued a number of warnings today about the air quality impacting flights. >> yeah. >> what are you seeing? >> pardon me while i look off camera to a computer monitoring what's happening with the faa and airports nationwide. we actually had a ground stop for awhile at laguardia airport in new york city because of that thick smoke you saw there in adam's report.

here's where we stand at this minute. laguardia airport arrivals delayed by two hours, departures at the moment delayed by 30 minutes. that's reagan national in washington. you can see the smoke and the haze here in the d.c. area but laguardia in new york, again, two-hour delays on arrival. 30 minutes on departures, newark about an 82-minute departure delay at newark. philadelphia, 29 minutes and just this from the faa just coming in, pardon me while i read the note. they say that as of 1500 eastern, so that's right now the faa slowing traffic from the east coast and midwest into philadelphia international due to reduced visibility from the smoke and the concern, of course, is obviously the health impact but also reduced visibility for pilots, keep in mind not just passenger planes but helicopter traffic in and over new york city. you can imagine could be affected. police choppers, fire choppers, medevac choppers, you can imagine that long list and we'll

watch to see what happens tomorrow as this moves further south into the d.c. area. >> tom, this is not normal, is it, for all these airports to have so many impacts? >> you know, normally when i'm talking about weather-related impacts on airports like this, it's extreme weather, in other words, rain or snow. but to have this kind of an impact from smoke, more common out on the west coast, of course, when they get bad fires, but it is very rare. i've never heard of this happening on the east coast like this. i've been covering this beat for 19 years, this is the choke point for the country, of course, the east coast as it relates to air traffic so if you start having a significant impact like this, the delays and the ripple effect will go well into the evening. >> tom, thank you. let me bring in meteorologist bill karins. he is tracking conditions in new york city. bill, how serious and how long could this last? >> ellison, it looks like we'll see the conditions you see now, the low visibility, we are in

hazardous air. like it's qualified as hazardous on the epa website and telling everyone whether elderly or young or you don't have any problems at all, this is hazardous for you, wear a mask if you're outside and stay indoors if you can. we do see more and more people wearing masks but a lot of other people this is so tu to them, they don't experience anything like this. they don't even know what to do. they don't know, the people on the west coast know, shutting all your windows and changing air filters and putting towels underneath your doors to make sure the air is not getting in. those are the some of the things people on the west coast know. this will go down as the worst air quality day in new york history. this air mass that is very toxic and hazardous, the dense stuff has been over central new york, northern pennsylvania, now over new york and also shifting down towards philadelphia and d.c. for tomorrow morning so we have

hazardous air in those areas, not like the air is good in charlotte, north carolina and raleigh and those areas, still hazy but not this dense really nasty stuff that i'm standing out in currently, so it will get better, it will be completely better on saturday when the cold front comes through and shifts winds. >> bill karins and adam harding, thank you both. a high school graduation turned into a crime scene last night after a gunman opened fire outside the theater where the ceremony had just taken place. it happened at virginia commonwealth university in richmond. seven people were shot, two of them died an 18-year-old who just received his diploma and his stepfather. a 9-year-old related to those victims also injured in the chaos. the city's mayor outraged. >> this is tragic but also traumatic. this is their graduation day. is nothing sacred any longer? is nothing sacred any longer? >> joining us now nbc news correspondent aaron gilchrist

who grew up in richmond, attended vcu. the suspected shooter now in custody arraigned this morning. what more do we know about him, about his motives? do the police think it was targeted? >> reporter: they do, kate. they believe this was targeted. they say that the suspect here, 19-year-old amare pollard was at the ceremony yesterday afternoon and that there was a confrontation afterward between him and the young man who died. i want you to hear more from the police chief earlier today. >> we believe that the two individuals shawn jackson and amare pollard knew each other, this is a mass shooting but we don't believe it was what is typically referred to as an active shooter. this was targeted at one individual. and so they knew each other and had an ongoing dispute. >> reporter: police say the suspect here had an argument and then went back to his car and retrieved a handgun and came

back and started firing, again, those seven people hit here, two died. five injured. the five people, their injuries are not considered to be life-threatening, kate. >> the 9-year-old you mentioned, is the 9-year-old doing okay, aaron? >> reporter: yeah, there was a 9-year-old little girl who was hit by a car in the chaos as people scrambled and tried to run away from the gunfire. we have learned that she was the sister of the young man who died, the daughter of the graduate's stepfather. she was not seriously hurt in the incident here but as you might imagine, kate, this is something that has sent the entire school community here of richmond reeling. this theater is where they hold 2k3wr5d situations for every high school in the city. we know that all the rest of the high schools that had their graduations canceled at this point. the suspect in this case is being held without bail in jail and back in court in two weeks. >> aaron, thank you. in an already packed primary race, the man who served

alongside former president trump for four years launched his bid for the republican presidential nomination. >> today, before god and my family, i'm announcing i'm running for president of the united states. >> former vice president mike pence joined several other gop hopefuls launching their bids this week, all chasing former president donald trump who continues to lead in polls. nbc news correspondent dasha burns has been following it all in iowa on the trail with the former vice president. dasha, pence was a loyal trump ally for four years. he's drawn some contrast with trump in terms of january 6th but he's been fairly measured in his criticisms of the former president, especially when you look at someone like florida governor ron desantis. how does pence plan to navigate his relationship with the former president moving forward? >> reporter: well, ellison, i will tell you, i was really struck by the style and

substance of his address to voters here today in iowa where he criticized the former president in more direct terms than we've heard from him ever. i would say. he really especially made a direct contrast when it came to january 6th, that day that looms over his vice presidency and his candidacy. take a listen to what he said. on that fateful day, president trump's words were reckless. they endangered my family and everyone at the capitol, but the american people deserve to know that on that day, president trump also demanded that i choose between him and the constitution. now voters will be faced with the same choice. >> reporter: listen, he also drew a stark contrast between himself and his former boss on the issue of abortion saying

that donald trump and other candidates are retreating on the issue of life and on the issue of ukraine, again, this is the most stark contrast we have avenue heard from the former vice president, although looking at the polls, it is going to be a tough uphill climb for now ten candidates that are in the race, nine of them challenging the front-runner former president trump, ellison. >> interesting reporting, dasha burns, we appreciate it. coming up, the critical negotiations happening today that could send actors to the picket lines. plus, why prosecutors say the resource officer who responded to the shooting at (man) what if f my type 2 2 diabets takes ovover?

trial began in florida for the former school resource deputy on duty during the parkland school shooting. scott peterson is being accused of failing to follow his training by remaining behind in a covered position for at least 45 minutes. while a teenage killer murdered 17 people and wounded 17 others back in 2018. nbc's lindsey reiser has been following the trial for us. what are the charges that peterson faces? >> peterson is facing charges from neglect also facing a perjury trial here. we're putting some of them on your screen here. culpable negligence as well. the association of school resource officers, kate, says this is the first case they believe in which a u.s. law enforcement official is being tried for inaction, alleged inaction related to a shoot shooting. scott peterson was a law

enforcement veteran of 32 years but the prosecution is alleging that his action or rather inaction could have led to more harm at the school. so prosecutors are saying that instead of trying to address the shooter in one of those buildings at marjory stoneman douglas high school in 2018 he took cover by an al cove for 48 minutes, now, he says he's being thrown under the bus. he says that the broward county sheriff's office is pinning him as the scapegoat for their own failures and that he thought that the shots were coming from outside. from an outside sniper. he also says that he blames chaos and miscommunication at the scene, kate. >> lindsey, there's emotional testimony today. who has the jury heard from. >> reporter: it has been incredibly, incredibly hard to listen to as you can imagine. first we heard from a former student. she actually played cell phone audio that she had gathered of shots being fired, students crying, several students in her classroom were shot, one died. everybody was in shock.

they were using their coats to try to stop classmates from bleeding. you could hear in the audio she recorded somebody yelling for help. you can hear the kids trying to stay quiet even though they are incredibly scared. we also heard from a teacher at the time, who talked about the shots essentially being deafening and going through the glass of their classroom and shots being fired everywhere. it has been incredibly difficult to listen to but, of course, right now this is the prosecution's case before the defense has had a chance, kate. >> all right, lindsey reiser, thank you. we have a dramatic rescue to show you out of michigan. police and firefighters frantically trying to resuscitate a baby who stopped breathing after falling in a swimming pool. the video is difficult to watch. nbc news reporter maya eaglin joins us now to break all of this down. maya, walk us through what happened here. this video we were referencing has been released by police. >> reporter: hi, yes. this all happened saturday in

macomb county, michigan. we should note off the top the baby is alive and recovering now. the 2 1/2-year-old's mother found her daughter unresponsive in a swimming pool. you can see on the body camera footage as soon as they arrive deputies found the little girl face down on the ground. it's still not clear how long the toddler had been in the pool before she was pulled out, but the deputies knew they had to work quickly to save her life. >> come on, baby. come on, baby. there you go. come on. come on, baby. >> they continue to work on the little girl for three more minutes trying to pat the water out of her lungs. firefighters arrive and start giving the girl oxygen. a few moments later medics start to use a suction device to try to get more water out of the girl's airway. the lifesaving efforts continue for another three minutes. that's when officers loaded the baby in a patrol car and rushed her to the hospital.

drownings are the leading cause of deaths for kids between the ages of 1 and 4 years old in the united states and there are about 4,000 fatal drownings each year according to the cdc. there are 11 drowning deaths per day on average. near drownings like this incident can cause brain damage and other serious injuries. experts say you should teach your kids to swim as early as you can, learn cpr, closely watch your kids when they are near water or even in a bathtub and make sure your child wears a life jacket when they are near or in bodies of water. the baby has since been released from the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. ellison. >> all right, thank you for that. coming up, why a debate over whether to recognize pride month in one california school district pmptedd thisro (vo)o) when y you live wiwith moderato sesevere crohnhn's disesease oror ulcerativive colitis,s, yoy can be f full of rememinders of youour conditioion. never knowing.g. always wowonderin. you weren'n't made f for uc r crohn's, but gugut focused d entyvio i.

>> reporter: in a recent survey a quarter of ev drivers said they've had problems with faulty public charging stations. that's why maintenance companies like charge enterprises, smart charge america and a california based start-up called charger help are expanding at lightning speed. >> it's been a little crazy. >> reporter: camille founded charger help barely three years ago and is now servicing charging stations across 17 states working with partners such as triti muchlt and duke energy, she says her company has touched over 10,000 stations but it's not just about fixing them when there's a problem. >> you need to be able to understand how the station is behaving in the field and need to understand what issues may be happening in the car and the charging stations. >> reporter: using proprietary technology it tracks information on how stations are working in order to improve reliability and to build more reliable and

sustainable infrastructure. >> i think that that data can be helpful to network providers, manufacturers and governments. >> reporter: it's what attracted investors like blue bear capital. >> charger help has data across network, across communication networks, across charger type, across geographical location, all of these sort of components and issues and factors play a large role in determining why or how a charging station isn't working. >> reporter: in addition to bluebear charger help is backed by energy impact partners gif ventures, autodesk foundation and auto clean tech, total funding $21 million. investors liken the company to the valvoline and jiffy lube of the future but it's the smart component in so much demand the next frontier could be home charger repair which would open up an enormous and expanding market is there that's for sure, thank you. organic foods sold in

grocery stores nationwide is increasingly being made possible by robots. that's right. deciding what fruits and vegetables make it to your plant. >> there is enormous controversy over the kind of jobs that ai should be assigned. not just because as experts have told me over and over again we are too often prone to what it's good at and pointing at things it's not good at. that good at category turns out to be a pretty big one and farming falls squarely in the middle of it. why? well, because it turns out that the pattern recognition systems of ai, the ability to look at two things and determine the difference between them can be applied to the difference between the plants we want to grow and eat and weeds we don't want in the field. i spent time on a farm that is a living laboratory in which a company has devised a system

that goes along and hits weeds with lasers, i'm not kidding. and it gets to hit those weeds at a time when those weeds are so tiny not only couldn't the human eye really spot them but in some cases they're too small for human fingers to grasp. the estimate is because this can kill between 2,000 and 5,000 weeds an hour, that's doing the work of about 30 people, maybe more, so we have this extraordinary opportunity here to see ai put to use in an amazing way. here's the cool part, it makes organic farming especially viable because using lasers you don't have to use pesticides so what's amazing about this, it's very futuristic but gets us to this more natural way of life that we all want in theory in our lives and on our tables, back to you. >> jake ward, thank you. catch more of jake's reporting tonight on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. coming up, why one oregon man is hiking the entire

here's what a district official said a short time ago. >> the teachers are following california code with their curriculum and we are following california law at large with regards to how we interact with our students, and so if there is concern with that, they're barking up the wrong tree here disrupting the movement of what is happening in glendale unified school districts. >> reporter: that resolution passed and that melee is now over, kate. >> miguel, have we heard anything from the school district itself after last night's vote? >> reporter: well, what's being taught in the classroom is behind all of this. the current curriculum being taught has been taught for over a decade and it's actually mandated by the state. now, the school has come to a close for the year in glendale but the controversy here is still not brewing. we've seen other incidents at other schools across this area, kate. >> miguel almaguer for us,

thanks. you can see more of miguel's reporting tonight on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. a florida official confirms the state arranged several migrant flights to california over the last week. now in an exclusive interview with nbc news california governor gavin newsom plans to launch an investigation, he says, it comes as ron desantis makes his first trip to the u.s./mexico border as a presidential candidate. nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez reports from sierra vista, arizona. >> reporter: florida governor ron desantis making his first official visit to the u.s. southern border as a presidential candidate. this is being billed as an official state visit. he is going to meet the local sheriff who's been very critical of the biden administration's policies here on the border. of course, this all comes as florida is being accused by officials in california of relocating migrants, flying them

to sacramento and just yesterday a spokesperson for the florida division of emergency management confirmed that florida arranged for these flights and also released video and stills supposedly showing that these migrants went voluntarily. my colleague jacob soboroff interviewed them. listen to what he had to say. >> here's a governor from the state of florida that is using taxpayer money and he had to go to another state to find people under false pretense. i don't think this, i know this. i talked to the migrants, lied to them, took them into another state by bus and then took them on a chartered flight to sacramento, lying to them that they had help on the other side, knocked on the door and left these migrants right there on the steps. >> reporter: and, again, governor gavin newsom promising a full investigation to see if

any criminal charges might be warranted here but the governor desantis is expected here in arizona and he is then heading to texas for fund-raisers later this week. he last been trying to stake a position early on in his campaign, even further to the right of former president trump, something the trump campaign is pushing back on at least when it comes to immigration. back to you. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. prince harry is done testifying in his high-profile trial against a british tabloid publisher. the prince left the london courthouse after his second day on the stand. he's accusing the publisher of hacks his phone and using other illegal methods to invade his privacy. josh lederman is outside london's high court for us. josh, prince harry was pushing back hard against the publisher's lawyer during cross-examination. take us through what happened in take us through what happened in court today. >> repa much more

grounded prince harry. at times he was interrupting the lawyer from the "mirror" who was cross-examining him so much so, the lawyer said i'm the one that asks the question, not you. the central question in the trial that was hammered home today was whether this allegation that prince harry's phones and voice mails were hackeds is mere speculation or a provable fact, whether it's enough for prince harry to say, look, there's information that made its way into tabloid articles about me that was very damming and embarrassing that could only have been obtained through illegal means such as hacking or whether he has to actually prove specific instances. here is the voice mail. here is the evidence. here is the call log that proves that that happened, and, in fact, he was asked under cross-examination by the attorney, if theourt finds that you were not hacked by mgn, would you be relieved or disappointed?

prince harry responding, i believe phone hacking was on an industrial scale. he continued to have a decision against me, yes, i would feel some injustice. prince harry also made the point as to why he doesn't have concrete evidence that he feels there was industrial scale cover-ups, attempts to actually get rid of evidence in anticipation that this would come to trial. but really one of the most emotional and telling moments came from the final minutes of prince harry being cross-examined today when he was asked by his own attorney about the experience of the last two days, what it was like, how he feels after having to recount so many difficult moments from his past and this invasive reporting by the tabloid newspapers and prince harry, he paused for several seconds, he lowered his head, his voice, choked up a bit and finally answered in a very low tone that it has been a lot. >> so, josh, now that the star witness is done, who else are we expected to hear from before the trial is over? how much longer does it go?

>> reporter: it could go for another couple weeks. we heard at the end of today from jane kerr, the former royal reporter responsible for a lot of the stories at the center of this. she will continue with her cross-examination when court picks up at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. there will be additional witnesses as well before we get to the closing argument stage of this because, remember, kate, prince harry is not the only claimant, the only plaintiff in this case. there are three others alongside him, two of them are actors and one is the ex-wife of a comedian so we may hear from them as well as this case progresses and then, of course, it will go to the judge for a ruling. we don't expect that to happen really until later this year, kate. >> okay, josh, thank you. despite a last-minute legal challenge the main suspect in the natalee holloway disappearance will be extradited. he's been serving a 28-year sentence after confessing to a separate murder there.

this shows joran van der sloot being transferred. he will stay until he is handed over to fbi agents in peru. some brock joins us from birmingham, alabama. we've been talking about this. one, break down for us the charges, van der sloot is actually facing in the united states and how it's tied to natalee holloway and what extradition will look like. >> reporter: so let's talk about what extradition will look like, first, ellison. behind me is the u.s. federal courthouse in birmingham, alabama and theoretically in 24 hours or so joran van der sloot will be somewhere inside. what's going on right now, our folks on the ground in lima say 6:00 a.m. tomorrow, the plan for their version of the department of corrections is take him and move him to the airport. now, there are reports right now that the fbi has sent a plane on its way right now to peru.

we have reached out to the fbi. we have not confirmed that but assuming that it's all systems go right now, it is about a seven-hour flight from peru to birmingham, alabama, which would get van der sloot here sometime early to midafternoon tomorrow. i was talking with joyce vance who used to be the u.s. attorney in northern alabama, was actually -- whose office, her signature is on the indictment for the charges you were asking about, that's extortion and wire fraud. so this really in terms of the case he's facing has to do with what happened after the death and disappearance of holloway and they reached out to her family to find out where the body is if they paid her $200,000. it's been awash in the story for almost two decades now, like justice, justice for her family and the people here because natalee holloway is from birmingham, alabama and had this eureka moment in terms of how to

charge him. the communication was over email which would constitute wire fraud as we mentioned. that's how we find him potentially coming here in 24 hours. >> sam, van der sloot's attorney, that last-minute extradition challenge that he tried to file, it was denied by a judge in peru, but is there anything else on the horizon that could prevent or delay tomorrow's extradition? >> reporter: it doesn't seem, ellison, legally like there's anything that will block it at this point although there was a habeas corpus denied by the peruvian supreme court and got word from peru from our folks down there there was a new petition filed by van der sloot's attorney called a precautionary measure. what that might mean or entail, not clear at this point but it's the last-ditch effort once again to try to prevent him from being extradited. >> all right, sam brock, thank you. coming up, how parents can help kids cope if they're feeling nervous about sleeping away from home.

but first time for today's daily snapshot. check out this image from a live webcam in hawaii. >> wow. >> kilauea. >> it began erupting this morning. the cam showed a glow at the summit then lava flows on the surface and officials are saying this volcano is not a threat to the public for now, images are really something. >> it's beautiful. ts own way. >> more "nbc news daily" right after this.

in today's "modern parenting" sleepaway camp can be a great way to build your child's independence and boost confidence. >> first time being away from home can lead to feelings of anxiety, even fear sometimes for both kids and their parents too, joining us is grace, the editor in chief of the parent's website. grace, great to see you. we were talking in the commercial break. this is a real thick there lots of parents focus on and talk about. what is the best advice and best age maybe to get kids started if you are thinking about doing sleepaway camp? >> if it's your first time doing sleepaway camp it's totally natural for parents and kids to be a little bit nervous but as a parent, you really want to avoid passing those feelings on to your kids and making them perhaps even more nervous, so,

you know, if you've signed up for sleepaway camp, embrace it and instead of telling your kid how much you'll miss them, maybe just say, hey, i'm so excited for you and everything you'll do at sleepaway camp and the more confidence you are, the more confident your kid will be as well. >> is there a set age, you would say, or does it depend on the family? >> it depends on the family and child and where they are developmentally. like is your kid okay being away from you for a little while? are they able to kind of be a little independent at parties or, you know, have they done a sleepover before and just gotten their feet wet like that. >> if you do have a child that is nervous about going to sleepaway camp or spend a saturday night down the road with a friend from school how do you have a conversation with them? you mention pointing out the good things but conversation varies on the age. how do you walk them through that journey to make sure they feel comfortable going away?

>> well, with sleepaway camp many camps send you a packing list way ahead of time so sit down with your kid, look at the list, make sure they have everything they need, soap, shampoo, detergent, and they're okay making peace leaving behind the things that aren't allowed like a cell phone or tablet then you can build their independence, build their confidence by reviewing some of the things that they've done recently that, you know, show that they can handle it. so you want to tell them, hey, this is a chance to build on those skills and acquire new ones, and, again, if they haven't done sleepaway camp or been away, maybe have them do a sleepover at a friend's house that -- a good friend, maybe you know the parents, as well, and arrange for that so that your kid can see that they cannot only survive without you but also thrive and have fun. >> okay, and asking for a friend, what if the parents are the ones who are super nervous

about their kid? i have a kid going off to college and i'm a little nervous because they're going to do like a precollege program where going on a lake for six days, so what if it's the parents what, do we do to make ourselves less anxious. >> i'm the same way. don't let these feelings transfer off to your kid. get excited about them and get them excited. and if you have a bunch of what ifs swirling around in your head, what if there is a family emergency, what if there's a bad storm near the camp, then put together a plan about how you'll get your kid back home and that should give you a little peace of mind. >> sleepaway camps can be costly. sometimes it's just not the right move for everyone. if you are a parent considering something, be it a long one, a couple days here or there, what is your advice for how to figure out if sleepaway camp is right for your child. >> you know your kid better than anyone else. you have to see, again, developmentally they seem to be

okay, they are exhibiting a little bit of independence, and then once you sign them up, obviously you've done your homework and researched the camp, you've called, you know what it's all about, you know the staff to kid ratio, then it's time to get excited. talk about all the cool things they're going to do at camp, whether it's swimming, sports or arts and crafts and if you have -- if your kid is going with a friend, remind them this will be such a memorable part of their friendship. no matter what happens, camp is a time for growth, for both kids and their parents. >> yeah, i have a lot of friends who did sleepaway camp every year and it does seem like as you said it bills confidence, builds independence. >> yes, exactly. >> grace, thank you for being here. we (man) what if f my type 2 2 diabets takes ovover?
