Wayne & Holmes Counties
I Our annual family camping trip that we take together every summer.
n my house we have a screenager. Her phone is never far and she has an intense aptitude for computer tech. Both she and our other youngster enjoy the time we spend together as a family, playing games and having family movie nights in the winter.
Come spring, my husband and I both love getting out in nature, hiking and biking, but getting the kids out of the house and having them interact and participate in that world has become more challenging. It’s important to us that they continue to learn, not just through the games and activities we can do at home, but by getting out and experiencing life first hand. This issue is full of ideas for summer camps, activities and ways to engage as a family. There are so many great things in Wayne and Holmes Counties that we can do together, all I have to do is check the calendar of events to discover what’s happening right on our doorstep. You might be surprised at what you’ll find in your own neighborhood! We all enjoyed the Wayne County Mini Maker Faire last year. The second one is coming up on Saturday, May 19th full of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and love sharing what they can do. This year will be a first for summer camps for our family. I enjoyed researching local, educational day camps, workshops and summer camps throughout Ohio that are making a difference in the lives of children. We’ll cover just a few of them in this issue. We live for the days when the weather turns warm and we can get out and be a family that seizes the day. Remind yourself to be present and put that screen away. No matter where you camp or travel to this summer, it’s the moments when we really see and listen to each other that keep family bonds strong and let the people who matter most to us know how important they truly are.

Summer
Aaah, summer - that long anticipated stretch of lazy, lingering days, free of responsibility and rife with possibility. It’s a time to hunt for insects, master handstands, practice swimming strokes, conquer trees, explore nooks and crannies, and make new friends. ~ Darell Hammond ~ Family Today

5 Reasons
Why Summer Camp Is A Good Choice with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students. 4. Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children. 5. Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools. Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

ummer vacation offers students a break from homework and their regular school day routine. While children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes, counting down the days until they could lounge by the pool, skip rocks across ponds and spend long summer days playing with friends. Today’s youngsters spend much more of their summer vacations indoors than they used to. Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape “summer camp” remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends. Although kids don’t have to stay at camp all summer long, a week or two can benefit campers of all ages. The following are five reasons why summer camp might be the right fit this year. 1. Explore talents. Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere. 2. Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult. 3. Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in

To Dalton Local School District This Summer
program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, Camp Invention is an exciting, week-long summer adventure with lessons that explore connections between science, technology, engineering, and innovation. Children in kindergarten through 6th grade work together to seek solutions to real-world problems and sharpen critical 21st century learning skills while rotating through several interactive modules. The program brings high-energy, handson, innovative fun to children, while presenting them with challenges that emphasize STEM, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. “As a child, I was a participant in many sport and church camps,” said Jenessa Gerber, this year’s Camp Invention Director at Dalton Elementary and Middle School. “The camps I attended had coaches or teachers I connected with on a personal level. As I got older I had the chance to become a coach and counselor, and I loved connecting with the younger students. Whether or not I had the same interest as a student, it was fun to learn about them and be that positive influence in their lives.” Camp Invention positively impacts teacher attitudes toward science content while reinforcing their abilities to instruct children, using educationally sound methods, and creates effective strategies for developing challenges to prepare students for the future. Every year the fresh content inspires children to explore, have big ideas, and make new innovations. “This is my first year being a part of Dalton Local Elementary

School as the Physical Education teacher,” Gerber said. “My goal for this coming summer was to get involved and get to know the community better. I heard about the new Camp Invention Director opportunity at our school and I thought it would be the perfect chance for me to be involved.” Each year, the Camp Invention education team and the National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees collaborate to create a brand new Camp Invention experience. New for 2018 is their Fast Forward Program, which will explore fun, hands-on activities that encourage participants to problem solve, work together and develop entrepreneurship and curiosity. By the end of this year’s program, campers will have created two personalized robots and a futuristic mini mansion to take home. Campers will be able to create their own Optibot, a small, self-driving bot that senses changes in light. Learning about the science and technology behind transportation, children will design a futuristic vehicle that might one day be reality. The Dalton Camp Invention will have staff members that are educators from Dalton, as well as High School Leadership Interns, and Middle School Counselors in training. The staff members involved will help make a difference in the lives of students by connecting with them on a STEM level, and by getting to know younger members from the local communities. In addition to Dalton Elementary and Middle School, Orrville Elementary and Triway High School are two other schools
in Wayne County that will be hosting Camp Invention’s Fast Forward program. If you search in a 25 mile radius on their main website, there are about 13 other schools near Wayne County hosting the same camp. The Camp Invention held at Dalton is open to anyone from surrounding communities, not just students of Dalton Local Schools. Educators that are interested in learning more about Camp Invention can contact Lori Byrne. Lori is the Director of New Business Development at the National Inventors Hall of Fame and is a regional representative for Ohio. Her e-mail is lbyrne@ invent.org, the toll-free number is 1-800-968-4332 and their website is Invent.org. “The employees at the National Inventors Hall of Fame go above and beyond to help out,” added Gerber. “I believe having young students see positive, caring and encouraging leaders is an important step in making the difference.” This year’s Camp Invention programs also include: Robotic Pet Vet In this camp module, animal shelters are reporting that malfunctioning robotic dogs have been popping up all over town. Young inventors must grab their vet kit, diagnose puppy problems and design and build dog parks as they hammer out ideas for the best dog park attraction.
Mod My Mini Mansion Campers will dream up and design their very own futuristic smart home filled with gadgets, LEDs, technology and innovation. From talking mirrors to toasters that know how to cook their favorite foods, children will invent and build models of these smart gadgets and gizmos. Stick To It Campers will invent something new every day as they explore what it is like to be a physicist, engineer and entrepreneur. Daily challenges will inspire campers to bring their own ideas to the table, think big, persevere and get to the heart of what it means to be an inventor. The Dalton camp will be June 11th to June 15th from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each day. You can still register for Camp Invention and use the promo code Ideas15 to save $15 (expires 5/4) off of the $225 registration fee. Every registration includes a complimentary Camp Invention t-shirt and availability is limited, so visit www.campinvention.org or call 1-800-9684332 to secure your child’s spot and transform summer fun into an extraordinary experience.

For the Lemon Verbena Pesto, combine the lemon verbena, garlic, cheese, and nuts in a food processor and pulse to puree. Slowly add the olive oil with the processor running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days, or it may be frozen for up to 3 months. 4. Place the grill wok or basket directly over the fire and stir-grill, tossing the beans with wooden paddles or grill spatulas until crisp-tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the grilled beans to a large bowl and toss with about 1⁄4 cup of the Lemon Verbena Pesto.

Making the Most of Family Vacations
By Emily Rumes GateHouse Media Ohio
W
hether you are heading to the beach, the great outdoors or for a theme park get-away, family vacations can seem like a daunting endeavor to organize. Every member of the family, their individual needs and quirks, must be taken into consideration. Trips can cost several thousand dollars, which only adds to the pressure. But careful planning makes it possible to simplify the process so more time can be spent resting, relaxing and having fun together. Child-friendly hotel One of the “musts” when booking a family vacation is finding the right accommodations. This often means booking rooms at family-friendly hotels. Things to look for when seeking hotels include amenities like swimming pools and recreation areas, nearby parks and other attractions that kids can enjoy, and easy access to stores that sell necessities. When my husband and I were on a recent trip to Florida with the kids, I was glad when I was able to run to the nearby drugstore when my husband came down with a head cold. When booking a room, you can request one that is close to the elevator or the breakfast buffet. If you have youngsters who nap or go to bed early, try to book

adjoining rooms or one-bedroom suites. This way the kids are tucked in but accessible, allowing adults to enjoy some downtime during the peace and quiet. Plan the trip together Get the entire family involved when planning a vacation and let children have a say in some of the travel plans. Let kids choose some activities, pick restaurants or even select which seats to sit in on the airplane. Pack as lightly as possible Pack light and, if possible, buy some necessities when you arrive. Few things can be as headache-inducing as dragging along extra luggage with kids in tow. Choosing a hotel or resort with laundry facilities can be advantageous to active families who may get messy along the way. We always try to pack light, but we bring larger suitcases with plenty of space to bring home souvenirs and trinkets that we collect along the way. Allow for downtime While it’s beneficial to have an itinerary, leave some moments for spontaneity and rest. You don’t want to return home so tired from the trip that you need another break. Use downtime as opportunities for kids to lead the way. I’ve found that the more I am trying to
Relive the memories Make vacation memories last longer by putting together a photo album or scrapbook. Also, if you have time, you can keep a vacation diary, jotting down little notes to keep and look back at once you get home. Putting it all together, you can make a meaningful keepsake that the whole family will enjoy flipping through when they want to remember your trip.
anticipate our next move on vacation, the more it takes me out of the moment and into my own head. The best and most wonderful memories have come from letting go and being flexible. Travel off the beaten path Mature children may like sights and sounds that aren’t necessarily designed for younger kids. So while it may be tempting to stick to big-name resorts that cater to families, there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had exploring lesser-known islands and villages. And while you’re at it, introduce children to native cuisines so they can broaden their culinary palates – you may be surprised at what they are willing to try.

hildren benefit in various ways from their involvement in youth sports. Being part of a team fosters feelings of belonging, inspires collaborative play and strategy and can be an excellent form of exercise. Still, despite the benefits, parents often worry about the injury risk their children face on the playing fields. Those fears are justified. A Safe Kids Worldwide survey of emergency room visits found that a young athlete

visits a hospital emergency room for a sports-related injury more than a million times a year, or about every 25 seconds. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 2.6 million children 0 to 19 years old are treated in the emergency department each year for sports- and recreation-related injuries. Some of the more common injuries young children face have to do with the skeletal and muscular systems of
the body. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons stresses that children’s bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are still growing, making them more susceptible to injury. Fortunately, with some education, many youth-sport injuries can be prevented. Sprains and strains Sprains are injuries to ligaments, or the bands of tough, fibrous tissue that connect two or more bones at a
joint. Strains impact a muscle or a tendon, which connects muscles to bones. Clinical research has linked acute strains and sprains to improper warm-up before sports, fatigue and previous injuries. Preparticipation conditioning and stretching can help reduce the risk of injury. Periostitis Periostitis is commonly known as “shin splints.” This is an overuse injury that occurs in athletes who are engaged in activities that involve rapid deceleration. Periostitis causes inflammation of the band of tissue that surrounds bones known as the periosteum, and typically affects people who repetitively jump, run or lift heavy weights. To head off potential pain in the shins, young athletes can gradually build up their tolerance for physical activity. Supportive shoes or orthotic inserts may also help. Incorporating cross-training into a regimen also can work. Repetitive use activities Swimmers, tennis players, pitchers, and quarterbacks may experience something called a repetitive use injury. This is pain in an area of the body that is used over and over again. Inflammation of muscles and tendons may appear, but repetitive use injuries also may result in stress fractures, which the National Institute of Arthritis and
Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases defines as hairline fractures in bones that are subjected to repeated stress. Rest between exercises can help alleviate these types of injuries. Ice, compression, elevation and immobilization may be used if pain is persistent. Growth plate injuries Kids Health says growth plates are the areas of growing tissue near the ends of the long bones in the legs and arms in children and adolescents. A growth plate produces new bone tissue. If the growth plate is injured, it cannot do its job properly. That may contribute to deformed bones, shorter limbs or arthritis. Growth plate injuries most often result from falling or twisting. While there’s no surefire way to prevent growth plate injuries, getting proper and immediate care after an injury can help prevent future problems. An orthopedic surgeon has the expertise to diagnose and treat these injuries. Youth sports injuries are common but preventable. Warming up, being in good physical shape and not overtaxing a growing body can help kids avoid pain and impairment.

n Saturday, May 19th, The University of Akron Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious Wayne College will host the second annual people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what Mini Maker Faire for Wayne County and the they can do. It’s a venue for makers to show examples of surrounding area. Maker Faire is part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new! As a celebration of the Maker Movement, it’s a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. The Faire gathers together tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, food artisans, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. Makers come to show their creations and share their learnings. Attendees flock to Maker Faires to glimpse the future and find the inspiration to become Makers themselves. There are 200 faires occurring all over the world. In 2014, a record 215,000 people attended the two flagship Maker Faires in the Bay Area and New York. In Ohio, there are annual “Mini” Maker Faires in Dayton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Akron, and Canton, drawing more than 1,500 to each event. their work and interact with others about it. Many makers say they have no other place to share what they do. DIY (Do-It-Yourself ) is often invisible in our communities, taking place in shops, garages and on kitchen tables. It’s typically out of the spotlight of traditional art or science or craft events. Maker Faire makes visible these projects and ideas that we don’t encounter every day. Want to be a part of this exciting community event? Anyone can participate in a Maker Faire. Bring your own creations, inventions, hobbies to the Faire and invite friends & family who are inventive, resourceful, and creative. Community organizations (such as 4-H, Future Farmers of America, Girl/Boy Scouts, youth clubs, etc.) and schools (arts, science, STEM/STEAM) are perfect for bringing projects to a Maker Faire as well as businesses that produce innovative and unusual products.

The Wayne County Mini Maker Faire is brought to you by The University of Akron Wayne College and is made possible through the support of platinumlevel sponsors: the Romich Foundation and Make: Makezine.com. The Wayne College Makerspace is a group of people, tools, services, and educational opportunities that encourage a community of discovering and making things. 3D design and digital fabrication via 3D printing and scanning technology is the focus of the makerspace. Participation in the Wayne County Mini Maker Faire is free. The deadline to fill out an application for this year’s Maker Faire at waynecounty.makerfaire.com was April 1st. Wayne County Mini Maker Faire is a community-based learning event that inspires everyone to become a maker and connect with people & projects in their local community. Yet, Maker Faire is a “fair” — fun, engaging, and exciting. There are many areas to volunteer such as production, setup, check-in, booth assistance, crowd control, and more. Have your business be a Maker at the event with an interactive booth and educate attendees about your company or what you make every day. Sponsoring the Wayne County Mini Maker Faire with financial support, goods, and services at various levels provides “perks” such as your company logo on Maker Faire communications, volunteer shirts, printed materials, website presence, and banners at the Faire. Having a booth at the Faire is great advertising and a wonderful way to connect with the community. To become a sponsor or volunteer, please contact Tom Hammond at makerfaire@uakron.edu or by calling 330684-8722.

Summer
Camps
Children and Loss Camp Waves of Emotion
A
s parents, we can’t protect our children from pain and loss, but we can help them feel safe and loved. One of the camps in Wooster this Summer, Camp Waves of Emotion, helps children that have been touched by loss. At camp, counselors utilize art, crafts, writing, storytelling, puppets, pet therapy, and fun activities to assist children in their grief journey. There is also a balloon launch on the last day of camp. This year’s camp will be August 6th through August 10th at 1900 Akron Road in Wooster, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. Children ages 7 to 12 years old are welcome to

attend, but registration is required. While they may not completely understand it, death is something that most children are aware of. They see it online, on television and in the news. When children experience a loss personally, however, it can be difficult for them to express their feelings and there may be a lot of questions and confusion that we, as parents, don’t always feel prepared for. That being said, every child is different and we all grieve in different ways. One moment there’s crying and then a minute later they might be laughing and playing. This dramatic shift in the feelings they are going through is completely normal. Children have an uncanny ability to access the truth and the honesty of a situation and they are equipped with natural defense mechanisms that will help keep them from being completely overcome by grief. Depression, guilt, anxiousness and anger, even anger at the person who has passed or at someone else, are all normal ways to cope with grief. The important thing, as a parent, is to make sure your children feel comfortable expressing their emotions, whatever they may be. It’s also important to be direct when you talk about death with children. The most honest and clear words will help them understand what is happening and allow them to ask questions and use coping skills, as it helps to eliminate feelings of fear and uncertainty. There does not need to be a great deal of information given to children for them to understand, often it can be overwhelming if there are too many details, particularly for very young children. Older children are able to understand that death is permanent, but young children my not completely be able to grasp the concept of “forever” and that is something you may need to talk through with them many times, answering any questions they may have. Each year the Camp Waves of Emotion is only able to accommodate 15 children, so be sure to register early if you can. Any questions about the camp can be directed to Lynn Lilly LSW, GC-C, Bereavement Coordinator for LifeCare Hospice at 330-264-4899, just ask for Lynn when you call.
