Themed camps teach children unique skills BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

ost summer camps focus on outdoor activities, but if a child isn’t interested in that, there are summer camps specializing in other activities.

According to Donna Papa, owner of ATA Cleveland Martial Arts in Solon, and Sally DeAngelo, director of Lakeshore Dance, Gymnastics and Cheer in Mayfield, specialized camps offer students the opportunity to explore something new and learn unique skills.

“At a specialized camp, kids can be specific about their interests and work to get good at a craft they are interested in,” DeAngelo said. “At Lakeshore, we do

rhythmic gymnastics, ballet, jazz dancing and yoga for kids. So, if they are interested in dance, there are different options.”

Papa said for ATA, children who have no experience in martial arts can enjoy the camp, which is an idea she believes is relevant to any specialized camp.

“It’s a great way to introduce them to it,” she said. “It gives them an opportunity to try something they’ve never tried before. And once they are here and they meet some regular students, if they decide to take regular classes, they already know me, their classmates and the facility. That is a bonus.”

DeAngelo said a benefit of themed camps is children are there for a purpose, not just supervised fun.

“You’re learning something and getting good at a craft,” she said. “You have to have qualified people come in to teach something, a skill. It’s more than just taking kids and watching them when parents are busy.”

Some of the activities ATA offers include taekwondo and karate. Papa said as the children have fun, they are also learning other underlying life lessons.

“Martial arts are more than kicking,” she said.

“We do self-defense, but we also talk about what to do about strangers and bullies. They are getting exposed to activities that they would never be able to do if they weren’t here. And then at the end of the weekend, children are more confident and feel better about themselves.”

According to Papa, ATA’s ability to provide different lessons and activities is a strong point her camp touts.

“Each day we have a different theme, so activities for that day are then based on that theme,” she said.

“One of the themes could be board breaking and we teach them that in different ways. Another thing we do sometimes is ninja obstacle courses. We do punching, kicking and rolling and then later in the day, we do an obstacle course. It helps build their stamina.”

When choosing a specialized camp, especially one that is more physical and hands-on like Lakeshore Dance, Gymnastics and Cheer or ATA Cleveland Martial Arts, Papa suggested parents put their child’s safety above all else.

“You want to make sure the child is going to be safe and supervised at all times,” she said. “I always have at least three adults teaching with me, plus I have older teenagers that assist me. You also want your child to have fun too. Choose an activity they will enjoy.”

DeAngelo also said children should have fun, but she stressed the importance of matching a camp program to the child’s ability and experience level.

“They should match the level of whatever they are going to be involved in,” she said. “If it’s a physical fitness camp, they should already be a little in shape. If it’s math, they should like math. If it’s something they want to do, they should already have a passion for it, or at least be interested.”

“(Campers) are getting exposed to activities that they would never be able to do if they weren’t here.

And then at the end of the weekend, children are more confident and feel better about themselves.”

Animal camps help teach children responsibility BECKY RASPE | SPECIAL SECTIONS STAFF REPORTER @BeckyRaspeCJN braspe@cjn.org |

W

ith a many camps focusing on outdoor activities, some outdoor camps take the experience a step further with animal camps.

These camps provide a unique learning aspect when children are responsible for caring for, training and interacting with animals.

According to Conni Lawrence, owner of Summer Wind Stables in Chester Township, and Nicole Latosky, education coordinator at Geauga Humane Society’s Rescue Village in Russell Township, it’s not just about having fun with animals, but teaching children responsibility.

“They are coming and learning how to care for a horse,” Lawrence said. “At our place, we teach them the whole thing – stall cleaning, bathing and nutrition.

If you’ve got a horse or animal lover, it gives them the opportunity to learn and be responsible for that animal and to know how to care for it correctly.”

Latosky said children can enjoy the animals, but Rescue Village focuses on the roles animals have in society.

“Our guest speakers open the door to other organizations that make campers knowledgeable of their communal resources,” she said. “It’s also a fun way to interact with animals for those who can’t have animals at home.”

Animal-focused camps can teach more basic team-building lessons as well.

“Campers learn how to get along because they are in a group and learn how to help others as well,” Lawrence said. “Because they are in a group, they are observing each other and learning from each other.

This is important for a group. We have all different ages of boys and girls, so the older ones can help the younger ones. It’s a great opportunity for kids to learn from each other in a neutral environment while sharing a common interest.”

Latosky said her camp focuses on character building and uses skills that “enhance the human-animal bond.”

“We discuss social and environmental issues and use animals to help us express and enhance our awareness and feelings,” she said. “Through this, our actions become more kind and overall a more humane community.”

Lawrence said her camp pushes the responsibility aspect as well as respectfully caring for and interacting with the animals.

“They come here and learn to groom the horse,” she said. “We also teach them about the medical needs of the horse. It’s not just about them having fun but it’s also the responsibility of caring for animals. We also emphasize how much work owning a horse actually is. All kids want horses, but this teaches them there is a lot of work that goes into it. And when the week is over, they realize that. We also teach the kids about the animal’s nature and how it can be a lot to handle. Kids are gaining lifetime skills.”

Latosky said few camps offer this type of

Learning how to ride is just one aspect of caring for a horse at camp. | Submitted photo

interaction with animals.

“It’s a two-fold situation where the campers gain hands-on experience and the animals gain love, companionship and confidence,” she said.

If a parent is interested in this opportunity for their child, Lawrence said one could start the search by visiting reputable programs.

“We’ve been doing this for over 25 years,” she said. “(Parents) can visit and call and talk to our staff.

Websites have a wealth of information and word of mouth doesn’t hurt either.”

or children who struggle to take the overnight camp plunge, day camps provide the camp experience without sleeping away from home.

According to Dominick Chicotel, camp director of Camp Create at The Music Settlement in Cleveland, and Austin Mazurik, general manager at School of Rock in Highland Heights, day camps help kids explore their interests and let them go home and apply new skills the same day. “(Day camp) gets kids together and (at School of Rock they) meet other musicians in something like

a crash course on what it’s like to be a musician,” Mazurik said. “It’s exciting because it’s a time constraint. Campers get together daily from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and play together. It gets them into that world – which is a world that most people don’t see.”

Mazurik said School of Rock is similar to other day camps as well.

“It gets them active and involved in something

“When you have the day camp, it allows (children) to turn off and stop and wonder what they accomplished that day and reevaluate. That is a good thing, especially with music – they can switch gears and change their approaches the next day.”

DAY CAMP | 78 different,” he said. “The key is getting them to meet other people that do things like them. I’ve had tons of friendships that have spurred from the camp. It’s getting kids to meet kids.”

Chicotel said not only is day camp a great place to take children during the summer, but at Camp Create kids interact with a variety of age groups.

“For developmental purposes, you’ll see the younger kids look to the older kids as care providers,” he said. “The older kids like that responsibility of helping. You’ll get a handful of variety from day to day, and depending on the camp you run, the sense of community among the group is important. I would look for those in a camp. Also, fun plays a key role in that as well.”

Mazurik said day camps give children unique opportunities to learn during the day, which they can reflect on at home that night.

“If it’s an overnight camp, their minds are still going and they are doing something continuously,” he said. “When you have the day camp, it allows them to turn off and stop and wonder what they accomplished that day and reevaluate. That is a good thing, especially with music – they can switch gears and change their approaches the next day.”

Chicotel said many campers who choose day camp are not ready for the commitment of overnight camp.

“The day camp provides that opportunity for them to go out and grow as individuals, but still get the security that their mom or dad is going to pick them up later,” he said. “The idea of opening up your children to a wide variety of things they aren’t used to doing and giving them a chance to

Mazurik

explore a bigger variety of things is important too.”

At School of Rock, Mazurik said campers learn in sections. Starting with learning to play by ear instead of reading from sheet music, campers then get to learn some of their favorite songs, and at the end of the week perform a show.

“They have good bonding moments through the process,” he said. “Any kid can say they had fun and what they did, but once you have a physical product, it gets the kids excited and gives the parents something too.”

As for The Music Settlement, Chicotel said the first days of camp are spent getting the campers comfortable with each other and the staff. After that, campers prepare and perform a theatrical performance.

“We do a lot of groups, games and projects,” he said. “That allows the children to learn who they are and get them comfortable in their place at camp.

Specifically, in terms of our camp, I’ve been doing drama and theater with children for years.

“When there is a goal at hand, there is a sense pride once they realize they can do something. That can bring kids together quicker than most everyday things.”

According to Courtney Guzy, executive director of Hiram House Camp in Moreland Hills, and Maya Holtz Groys, director of scholarships and grants at the Jewish Education Center of Cleveland in Cleveland SaL_2018_AD_CJN.qxp_Layout 1 3/9/18 3:03 PM Page 1 Heights, camp scholarships can help make attending

but can’t afford it. In a nutshell, it’s financial help and it’s money children can take advantage of and come to camp even if they can’t afford it.”

Groys said the JECC works with the Jewish Federation of Cleveland to provide different scholarships and financial incentives for Jewish children.

Groys The scholarships include The Michael and Anita Siegal One Happy Camper Program. The scholarship, which is not need-based, is valued up to $1,000.

Groys said it is for first-time campers in third grade or above that will attend more than 19 days of camp.

Another scholarship is the David Guzy and Inez Myers Foundation Camp Leadership Scholarship, which is for students entering high school who plan to attend a Jewish summer camp offering leadership training.

Applicants will be considered based on financial need, leadership potential and desire to give back to the community.

The last scholarship offered through the JECC is the Hyman, Blanche, Gladys, Rita and Norma Gurland Memorial Fund Camp Scholarship for Families of Children with Special Needs, which is for children attending camps that offer special needs programming.

“Jewish camping is important, as it helps campers strengthen their own identities and connect with the larger Jewish community,” she said. “We also understand that Jewish overnight camp can be expensive.

At Hiram House, Guzy said interested families will have to answer a few financial questions to determine eligibility for scholarships.

Guzy said she sees a positive impact on campers who receive scholarships, and recalled a young man who attended his final summer of camp last year.

“His mom said to me what she likes best about camp is that her son gets away from the hustle and bustle of the city or any bad influence,” Guzy said. “At camp, he had a safe environment.”

Guzy said the young man wanted to come back to camp to become a counselor and help kids like himself.

“One of the great things at camp is you don’t have an idea of who is on a scholarship and who isn’t,” she said.

Groys said families shouldn’t be afraid to reach out to the community when they begin thinking about camp scholarships.

“We are lucky to be living in such a generous community,” she said. “I advise families to contact their synagogues, their youth group and the camp they are attending for scholarship opportunities beyond those we offer. And I am always happy to help.”

Families interested in applying for a Jewish Education Center of Cleveland scholarship can contact Maya Holtz Groys at mgroys@jecc.org or 216-371-0446. Families can also find applications on jecc.org. For One Happy Camper Grants, Jewish day school campers must apply at jecc.org, and public or non-Jewish private school campers can apply at onehappycamper.org.

Nature play, crafts, activities and animal encounters are all part of the experience at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo summer day camp.

ummer vacation promises almost three whole months of free time.

While many parents send their children to one camp per summer, local camp directors find importance in sending them to several throughout the season.

Courtney Leaves-Mearini, director and owner of Cleveland City Dance Camp in Cleveland, and Chelsea Rolen, camp director at the Lillian and Betty Ratner School in Pepper Pike, said children attending many summer camps can explore different activities in depth.

“A lot of the benefits that the students have in the summertime is that they have more time to focus on different things, rather than always be fatigued from school,” Leaves-Mearini said. “(Summer camp) allows them to grow at a faster pace. For children that are experiencing something new, many camp experiences are a great way for them to investigate their interests. It gives them a chance to explore different types of things they can’t during the year because of their schedules.”

Rolen also said giving children multiple camp experiences is beneficial for helping them develop interests.

“One benefit is exposure to a variety of activities,” she said. “School-aged children who are exposed to different activities have the opportunity to find their ‘special skill’ or interest.”

Rolen noted children attending many summer camps allows them to make more friends and exposes them to a variety of people.

“Exposure to diverse groups of people can promote understanding and respect for humanity,” Rolen said.

“Some camps are designed to enrich children as individuals, while others are designed to support children as a member of a group. Both individual and group identities are important for development.”

When attending more than one camp, Leaves-Mearini said children can step out of their comfort zone.

“It gets them out of the academic realm of their minds and they can bring their body and minds together,” she said. “It helps make them well-rounded individuals. Even if it’s not their big thing, they might learn to have an appreciation for something that might

Leaves-Mearini

Rolen

not be their passion.”

Rolen said summer is a good time for kids to unwind and dive deeper into their many interests.

“During the summer, children often need a break from the structure and stress of schooling, like how many adults take vacations from work,” she said. “In a lot of schools, children are told what to do, how to do it and when to do it. Summer is a great time to explore children’s interests like art, sports, robotics and theater. Building these individual interests helps children to develop their identity.”

Rolen said signing up for many camps can be a bit overwhelming and it’s good to start learning about options early.

“I would start by asking friends and family about their summer camp experiences,” she said. “Your city may have a camp guide for summer camps offered through their recreation department. Many summer camps also attend conventions. This is a great way to talk with summer camp personnel face to face, ask questions and pick up information like enrollment forms.”

As parents try to figure out what camps they will send their child to and figure out the summer schedule, Leaves-Mearini said they should visit the camps and talk to instructors before committing.

“There is so much information online about camps these days,” she said. “I always say, whenever you look at reviews, look at the most current reviews because that will let you know where the facility is at in this time. If the review is five-years-old, the person could no longer have an issue with the camp. Also, the camp climate evolves over time.”

hile there is nothing wrong with traditional outdoor camp activities, local camps are finding success in giving campers new and diverse options for exploring the outdoors.

According to Dave Devey, director of Falcon Camp in Carrollton in Carroll County, and Becky Parkin, assistant chief of outdoor education at Lake Metroparks in Concord Township, offering different types of activities and allowing choice keeps each day at camp fresh.

“It comes down to everyone having different interests,” Parkin said. “The more diversity you have, the more you can catch that excitement and let them know there are many things to do outside.”

Devey said it’s important for campers’ development to become accustomed to trying new things.

“It is great for campers to be able to explore new things without stress and be encouraged to try new things,” he said. “It helps them step outside their comfort zone without the stressful environment of having to be good at something.

It also gives them self-confidence when they do master those new things.”

Both Parkin and Devey said having children focus on a variety of activities gives them a broader range of knowledge and skills.

“It is great for campers to be able to explore new things without stress and be encouraged to try new things. It helps them step outside their comfort zone without the stressful environment of having to be good at something.”

“By being diversified in activities and topics, what that does is that it sparks wonder and interest.

Devey said, “It is important to allow children to try a variety of activities other than focusing on one. All the activities give you a broader range of skills and experiences, allowing you to pick and choose more of what you like because you know more.”

Devey noted new activities can help build friendships, too.

“You can find more friends because of the variety of activities,” he said. “These are all different people with different interests.

Part of the benefit of that is young people can realize you don’t have to be a clone to be friends. You can have different likes and dislikes and still get along with each other. You can learn more and celebrate the diversity of interests.”

Parkin said Lake Metroparks prides itself on its diversified camp activities – ranging from “Hunger Games,” to “Minecraft” and even zombie camp.

“It’s about what is hot in pop culture, and then there are also the tried and true camp activities as well,” she said. “There are those underlying themes where we want to try and make sure kids are outside and make sure these activities that we’re doing lead them to learning and excitement.”

Devey said although his camp has a schedule, it’s approached generally as a free flow of activities within a framework.

“In each age group, there are several

Devey

Parkin

choices in each activity period. Each camper chooses what they might want to do,” he said. “The group may be at the lake, but each camper can choose a different activity within that location. What ends up happening is campers trying different things within a broader activity.”

Both Parkin and Devey said campers and parents have input in what activities are offered.

“There is some input and we try to listen,” Devey said. “We listen to camper input in the offseason as much as we do in the summer. One of the great things about camp is that you can change your mind whenever you want.”

Parkin said, “We have set goals for each day and we try to reach those. But oftentimes, we read the kids. We want to be flexible for them – if they are engaged in something, we allow them to continue and adjust.”
