ummer is right around the corner, and we are

all looking forward to a great Summer Camp

experience. But when we stop to consider

the possibilities, it can get a little confusing.

With not much more than a rm budget in mind,

the kids telling us what they want to do at camp,

and a rapidly closing enrollment period staring

us in the face, we shoulder the responsibility

of choosing a summer camp that gives the best

experience for our child. The CampNavigator

Magazine is dedicated to bringing clarity to the

Summer Camp decision making process.

In this magazine we showcase several high quality

summer camps. These camps discuss the value

that caring camp counselors and sta bring to the

overall camp experience, the importance of social

activities at camp, how to create a checklist that

helps you determine the best summer camp for

your child, and many more important topics.

The CampNavigator.com Team is excited to share

these valuable, insightful articles with you, and

hope they help you as you navigate your way

through the possible destinations for Summer

Camp this year.

We are excited to launch the rst edition of our

magazine, and hope you enjoy!

Woodmont Day Camp Staff Dedicates TheirSummer to Your Child

here are several keyingredients that parents

look for when choosing theright summer activities for theirchildren. They want somethingthat is educational, fun and safefor children, and at the sametime, reliable and convenientfor themselves. The activitiesand venue can only accomplishso much, but with a great sta,these goals can easily be met.

For the sta members atWoodmont Day Camp, thisexperience is far more than asummer job. It begins in Junewith several days of extensivetrainings and orientations tohelp the sta prepare for theWoodmont experience. Thesummer is a rare opportunityfor them to experience thebeautiful surroundings, whilefullling their potential as

they help kids reach theirs. Inorder to bring the most to thechildren, the sta must worktogether more like a family toprovide encouragement andfullment. Woodmont Day Campis a special environment for thechildren who come, and thesta, who each form new bondsand friendships throughout theirtime here. Parents need to feel

completely comfortable whenthey send their child o to acamp. The sta at Woodmonttake their job very seriously,providing an environment that

is safe, healthy and reinforcesa positive self-image. All of the

counsellors that work in speciallyareas are experts in their eldand look forward to sharing theirknowledge and experiences withthe campers. The most rewardingexperience throughout the campis allowing kids to grow physicallyand emotionally. Throughouttheir time at Woodmont theywill hone their natural abilitiesand experience the benets of working alongside their peers.

The most important thing thatthe Woodmont sta can bring tochildren is an enjoyable, excitingsummer experience that inspiresthem to approach their futurewith condence and the feeling

of self-worth. 90 percent of Woodmont sta are college level

or above and have experienceworking with children beforethe start of camp.

s a psychologist at TheUCLA Family Commons, one

of the greatest struggles thatmany parents ask for guidancewith is how to determine theappropriate amount of “screentime” for their children. Today’saverage child is watching severalhours of television each day. Thetime that is accounted for in thisresearch does not include the

hours spent on the computer,playing video games and not tomention the explosion of the“app” world. With the summermonths approaching, parents areincreasingly concerned abouthow to manage their child’sscreen time with the inux of free time.

While many people are

concerned about what theirchildren are being inuencedby in their exposure to media,I am concerned with whatchildren are missing out on.Growing up, my parents madethe choice to limit the amountof television we watched andinstead created an environmentin which we kept our minds freshand alive through play and social

activities.

Research shows that throughoutthe summer months, childrenhave a tendency to become

rusty in their skills, academic and social. When school closes in June,the last thing any child, or parent for that matter, wants to think aboutis school and homework. However, every teacher encourages theirstudents to continue to practice their reading, writing and arithmeticskills so they can back to school and feel competent instead of lostand behind. What most people forget is that practicing social skillsover the summer is equally important for a smooth transition back toschool in the fall.

One of the greatest activities my parents included in our summer lifewas camp. Whether this was a sleep away camp, day camp or even

vacation bible school, we were given the opportunity to keep oursocial skills fresh and prepped so we could return to school feelingcomfortable and less anxious than many of our peer counterparts.As you plan your child’s summer activities this year, keep in mindthe importance of social activities. At The UCLA Family Commons weoer a variety of summer camps for dierent ages that address thedevelopmental needs of boys and girls as they navigate and transitionfrom the early years into adolescence. In all of our activities, whetherit’s through Martial Arts, imaginative play or arts and crafts, weconsistently provide an avenue for children to obtain skills that arenecessary for healthy development and a strong sense of social and

emotional competence.

A SMARTER SUMMER!

ome children relish everymoment they are awayfrom home, exercising theirindependence. But for many,

homesickness is an issue whetherthey admit to it or not. I neveradmitted being homesick as a child,because that didn’t describe what Iwas feeling. I was just plain lonely,

and unable to connect well withpeople away from home, probablybecause my family didn’t operateon an emotional level, so I neveropened up about how I wasfeeling.

But with the help of people Imet, going away from homehelped me learn how to expressmy true self and how to let others

get emotionally close to me. That’sthe real beauty of summer camp forme: seeing kids grow emotionally.The games, the art, and the outdoorskills that children learn are super, yetthe essence of the camp experienceis maturity that the children gainthrough comraderies with othercampers and counselors who arecommitted to the same challengingsituations they are.

To nd the best camp for your child,and to prepare for the emotionalchallenges that he or she shouldnd there, research the manychoices which are available andtake care to ensure that the campactivities are appropriate. If yourchild isn’t comfortable stayingovernight with a friend, or hasn’tspent a few nights away fromhome before, don’t have him or her

start with an extended overnightcamp unless you can be allowed toalso spend the night if necessary.

Think about whether your child

is ready for t h ephysical, social, mental, a n demotional challenges they needto face, and ask the camp directorif he or she truly believes yourchild will be successful. Askwhat kind of training they give

their counselors around the issue of boundaries, and what kind of 

risk management training theyreceive to prevent problems, andhow a balance between challengeand rest. Ask what kind of jokes

and stories are told at camp, andhow such things are monitored.

As you know, the location, cost,and length of stay also must beappropriate. Make sure you arecomfortable with the spiritual

motivation behind a camp,and investigate its conditions,supervision and safetyprocedures. And especiallyin this era of headlines andbullet points, you really

need to read the camp websiteand preparatory materials from

beginning to end in order tounderstand all the information.

Here are some specificthings you can do with your child once you’ve chosen your camp:

• Discuss with your child inadvance what the sleepingarrangements will be like, withwhom they will be sleeping;• Discuss what the daily

schedule is, and what happensin case someone gets sick orinjured.

• Discuss homesickness andloneliness, and encourage your child to

S

share his or her feelings, and to remember thatthose the feelings are natural, and that they willpass. It can help to pack a photo or stued animalfor your child to bring to camp.• Have your child make a list of concerns orcuriosities about camp, then address any questions.• Show your excitement for what your child isgoing to learn and experience, and go do an activity

together which is similar to something the campoers.• Tell your child lovingly but briey that you areallowing (not sending) him or her to go to camp,that “I will miss you, but I have 100% condence inyou” and in the counselors at camp.• When your child calls during camp, don’t get intoproblems at home, and don’t mention fun activitiesthe child may be missing. Instead, just relate yourdaily home routine, and then ask what the scheduleat camp was that day and will be for the next day.

Finally, an important, and often overlooked, aspectto camp is a healthy form of integration afterreturning home. Campers may be shocked at howthey look in the mirror -- usually more vibrant if they’ve spent a lot of time outdoors, especially ina wilderness setting. They may not know what todo with themselves after the many days packed-full of constant scheduled activities and continuallearning. And they will probably be extremely tired,both physically and emotionally from the demandsof camp.

Have their favorite meal prepared the day after theyreturn home, and plan extra sleep-in time. Thenprovide an activity on the day after camp that willhelp them transition from the constant stimulationof camp, to something active but familiar, such asa sport they enjoy. And most important, give themtime to tell you and as many people as possible thestories from their camp experience. Storytelling is

the ultimate form of integration, and it is key to ahealth camp experience.

Even more, sit down with your children to journalabout what it was like coming back from camp, orhave them create an art project about it, such ascomposing a song, writing a poem, or painting a“before and after” picture of themselves. If theywant, prominently display any certicates, photos,ribbons, or other memorabilia they received fromcamp. And above all, tell them how happy you are

that you are together again, hug them and say “Ilove you”.

“Work before reward”:

A motto that has fueled PriestHolmes throughout his life bothon and o the eld as a NFLrunning back.

8,172 rushing yardsand 86 rushing touchdownslater, Priest has been using hisknowledge and success bothin life and football to reach outto young football players in hishometown of San Antonio. OnJuly 8th-9th at Lopez Middle

School, Holmes will be instructingat a Sports International two-dayfootball camp, where he can showyounger athletes that the NFL can

be more than just a dream.“Often times, you have

to put in the work rst in orderto experience the reward,”Priest said. “This valuable lessontruly enhanced my life in everycapacity and has stayed with meover the years. I apply the “workbefore reward” concept to manyof the things I do each day.”

It was this attitude thathas led to a great football careerfor Priest, a three-time Pro Bowler,three-time All-Pro Selection, andrecipient of the Ed Block CourageAward in 2004 for his ability

to exemplify his commitmentto sportsmanship and courage.He’s also been recognized as the

Oensive Player of the Year andRunning Back of the Year in 2002to go along with a number of All-Time Chiefs records includingtouchdowns (83) and rushingyards (6,070). However, none of these awards and recognitionscompare to winning the ultimateprize as a member of the 2000Super Bowl Champion BaltimoreRavens.

“I seem to describe it as if it was a dream (the Super Bowl),but for me it was my dream cometrue. On the opening kicko, theball spun in the air for severalseconds, which seemed like aneternity,” Holmes remembers. “I

saw thousands and thousands of ashes from cameras going o inthe stands. It completely brought

perspective to the opportunity athand.”

Despite the numerousachievements, it wasn’t alwayseasy for Priest, who after atorn Achilles, was signed asan undrafted free agent bythe Baltimore Ravens. Priestremained unstirred and workedas hard as he could to provehimself in the NFL.

“After being passed up(in the draft), it gave me moredetermination and drive. I knewI had all the proper work ethicsand capabilities to get there (theNFL). I had to show perseveranceand believe in myself no matter

what the critics had to say,” saysHolmes.

For the past fourteen

years, Priest has been helpingout the San Antonio areaincluding hosting camps,bringing sponsorships to the SanAntonio area for disadvantagedyouth, providing services as amotivational speaker, and eventplanning. For Priest, this isn’t justanother chance to give back tothe San Antonio community, butit also gives him a chance to reachto more kids through the PriestHolmes Foundation ScholarshipsProgram.

“It will allow moreopportunity for people togain knowledge and have theopportunity to be a recipient. The

Overnight summer campteaches skills in a varietyof disciplines - sports, arts,

nature and the like. However,the enduring value of summer camp is not theskills that it teaches, butthe values and traits of character that it imparts. Acamp experience teacheschildren to work togethermore cooperatively,

resolve conicts, assumeresponsibility, anddevelop self-reliance andself-condence.

the right camp is paramount to asuccessful experience. Here aresome suggestions for navigatingthe process.

Summer Camp: The Gift of FriendshipSELECTING A SUMMER CAMP FOR YOUR CHILD

Sixteen-year-old Andrew Rosenblum is

ahead of the game. He’s making games, in fact –

iPhone® games. So far he has 6 apps published

in the Apple® store with over 30,000 downloads

among them. This adds up to a serious competitive

advantage for his college applications, and quite a

head start on a possible future career.

His secret? Tech camp. Specically, iD Tech

Camps and iD Programming Academy. And he’s not

alone. He’s part of an elite group of alumni from iD

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)summer education programs in subjects ranging

from game design to programming, robotics

engineering, web design, 3D modeling, and digital

lmmaking. With 78 programs at top universities

across the nation, iD has built up an impressive

alumni base, in both size and accomplishments.

Coming of age during the Great Recession

has forced students to work harder than ever

to distinguish themselves from peers in the

competitive college admissions process, and at

the same time, set themselves up for future career

stability.

According to the U.S. Department

of Commerce’s Economics and Statistics

Administration (ESA), STEM occupations should

grow by an encouraging 17% from 2008 to

2018, far higher than the 9.8% average for other

occupations. The investment in technology

education is also one that is likely to pay o –

STEM workers generally earn 26% more than their

non-STEM counterparts.

Because iD programs are all project-

based, students are able to put their new skills

to immediate and practical use – leading to an

impressive list of alumni accomplishments.

Imagination, problem solving, teamwork, project

planning, entrepreneurialism, and tech skills. It’s

a lot for any single box to hold. No wonder so

many students are breaking the mold.

1. CAMPER TO STAFF RATIO MATTERS

There is nothing better than hearing from yourchild(ren) as they pile into the van after camp, “MOM, I SCORED A GOAL” or “DAD, I’M SO TIRED,I LEARNED SO MUCH TODAY”. Proper feedbackand personalized attention is what each camperdeserves from their sports camp experience. Thatis why eCamps is committed to maintaining a lowinstructor to camper ratio. For team sports werecommend an 8:1 camper to sta ratio, and forindividual sports a 5:1 ratio.

playing experience, but more importantly, theircommitment to coaching youth. eCamps’ Directorsare all Double Goal Certied by the PositiveCoaching Alliance and have made a promise toeducate life lessons through sport. Take advantage

of your summer by sending your child to a sportscamp.

Top-notch school accommodations and facilitiesare a pre-requisite for quality camp experience.Good food, easily accessible campus, comfortablebeds, good eld conditions and fun socialinteraction are all part of the camp experience.While a sport-specic training camp’s main focusis on skill development and instruction, theoverall camp experience is also dened by how

the campers feel o the eld or court. eCampschose its 2012 camp locations based on the veryhigh standards of our camper families. We identifypremier college campuses, prep schools andrecreation facilities based on their commitment toproviding us with exceptional facilities - whetherit be the newest turf elds, state-of-the-art tennisfacilities, or glass-backed international squashcourts.

At camp we plan otheractivities (usually at night) to get campers awayfrom their particular sport, relax, and provide some socialbalance to the day. Some of these activities include movie nights,pizza nights, putt-putt, ping-pong and karaoke. Making new friends is atime honored camp tradition and one which we embrace and nurture.

Summer Programs Help Meet the Needs

of Hi gh Potential Students

ith shrinking budgets and school

reform, many parents are nding

school districts are unable to fully

meet the needs of their academically

talented children. To help them reach their

full potential and to provide them with the

intellectual stimulation that may be lacking

in schools, more parents are turning to

supplemental programs like the Summer

Institute for the Gifted (SIG). SIG, a not-for-

prot organization, provides programs duringthe summer months designed to meet the

abilities and needs of academically gifted and

talented students. SIG’s three-

week summer sessions allow

students to mature and develop

in every element of his or her

life, develop long-lasting and

meaningful relationships and

increase their self-condence

and thinking in divergent ways

 – all within a safe and secureenvironment.

“SIG’s mission is to help gifted

children achieve their fullest

potential,” states Barbara Swicord,

Ed.D., President and CEO of the

Summer Institute for the Gifted.

“Our program is best known for

providing educational summer

programs designed specically

to stimulate the intellect of academicallytalented students, and has been a leader in

gifted education since 1984, but has expanded

into programs for educators, parents and on-

line programs to serve the gifted community.”

Supplemental programs like SIG help to

keep students motivated and engaged in the

education process by providing participants

with additional stimulation and academic

challenges beyond the traditional curriculum.

SIG’s residential summer camps are available

to students between the ages of 9 and 18 andare oered at ten college campuses across

the country: Amherst College, Bryn Mawr

College, Dartmouth College, Emory University,

Princeton University, UC-Berkeley, UCLA, UT

Austin, Vassar College and Yale University.

SIG provides the highest quality academic

oerings for gifted students with a unique

approach to gifted education focusing upon

the intellectual, social and emotional needs

of each student. SIG oers the richest course

curriculum available to gifted students with

more than 80 challenging academic courses.

“As a gifted student, it is not always apparentexactly how far [my daughter] can y in a

traditional school setting,” remarks one parent

- By. Tiany Betz 

of a SIG student. “However, SIG denitely raised

the bar for her and she soared right over it!”SIGalso oers day programs for students between

the ages of 4 and 12 at also for a three-week

period. These non-residential programs are

designed for students in grades one through

six and combine a structured academic

schedule with daily recreational activities. In

addition to academics, both residential and day

participants engage in cultural, recreational,

creative exercises, entertainment, trips and a

host of other activities to foster well-rounded

development.

ow do you know which one is right for

your child? Beyond the obvious questions

of safety and supervision, there are

many dierent opportunities and it can be

challenging to nd the right one that ts

your child’s needs. The rst step would be

to evaluate your child’s ability and interests.

Some sports camps are for the more serious

or developing athlete with an eye towards

improving his/her already competitive ability

in their chosen sport. Other camps are for the

beginner to lower level intermediate players

who are ready for a good introduction or

review of the sport of interest.

That rst step of evaluating your

child’s ability and expectations is

critical in selecting the right camp.

Plugging in a child who is just showing an

interest in a particular sport or just nding

their “athletic self” into a camp for the serious,

experienced athlete or expecting a more serious

player with more developed understanding

and ability in a sport to enjoy a fundamentals

camp is a recipe for disappointment, wasteddevelopment and of course the inevitable loss

of money and time when your child is unhappy.

Once that rst step of evaluation is completed,

the next step would be to nd the right camp

that ts those expectations and other important

considerations that must be considered.

Additional considerations would include:

Location- The perfect camp that is 10 miles out

of your way may not be a good choice.

Schedule Needs – Some sports camps only oer

half day programs. For the school age camper

under 12 a full day is far too much to focus

on a specic sport especially if your child is a

beginner or intermediate level player. If the

camp will also serve as a summer care program

for a working family, the half day approach will

not be the best choice either. Other schedule and

program considerations include the availability

of extended care for the working parent and

for full day programs, what additional activities

are available for the times when the attention

span for the sport instruction has worn o.

Is the non- sport time enriching and fun?

Coaches- For beginner level younger

athletes, experienced high school or

college students with expertise in the

sport will do ne as long as the program

is structured and conducted by a reputable

organization with experience. For more

demanding athletes, a more professional adult

or at minimum college age level coaching

should be expected.

Choosing the right summer experience for your

child is important, expensive and challenging.

The right approach to understanding your

child’s needs, expectations and how it best

ts your families’ needs is a best rst step to

making the right choice.
