choosing a summer day camp 5 questions to ask

By L aur a Hine

I am the laziest mother in the world when it comes to driving my kids, so when we were looking at summer day camps, my only question was: Can they walk? (They could, and did.) But perhaps you’re a nicer mother, and are willing to drive your children to their summer fun. In that case, the North Shore is your oyster, and the choices can be overwhelming. Here are five questions to help guide your decision.

makeitbetter.net

2013 camp guide

7

1 Does my child love the camp’s main activity?

Don’t sign your sportloving soccer player up for “Cosmic Chemistry” no matter how much you think she might like to improve her science grade.

This may seem obvious, but parental aspirations can sometimes supercede good sense.

2 Are any friends signing up?

Not every child needs friends to make camp fun, but Dave Clatch, of the family-owned and operated Good Times Day Camp, which has various North Shore locations, notes that “friends are very important to making camp a better experience.” A gregarious child might plunge in unaccompanied, but for most kids, a familiar face or two makes the transition to camp much easier.

3 Is lunch included?

Trivial? Perhaps, but if your mornings are rushed, a lunch-included option can make your summers much more pleasant. On the flip side, if you have a fussy eater or a child with allergies, packing a sack lunch might be the preferred food option.

8

2013 camp guide

makeitbetter.net

4 How do you keep track of the children at the beach or pool?

According to Dave Thoensen, co-director of Tamarak Day Camp in Lincolnshire, water safety questions deserve their own answers.

Start with how big is the swim group, but also ask how children are evaluated and is everyone on the water safety staff a lifeguard or are some “look outs?”

5 Who are your counselors?

Some camps use students, but others set themselves apart by their counselors. Amy Kerr Wells, manager of camp programs for the Chicago Botanic Garden, says that their camps are taught by “degreed adults,” who are teaching professionals and assisted by high school or college students. It’s also worth asking about what background checks the camp uses.

And finally, if you’re not sure, ask for references and call a parent whose child was in the program last summer.

Camp When to Push Your Reluctant Child B y M e l a n i e K a lm a r

Is it right to send a child to sleepaway camp if he or she is strongly opposed to it?

“Absolutely not,” says Gordie Kaplan, executive director of the American Camp Association in Chicago. “The camper is going to fight the experience, and maybe have homesickness, and

not make it through the session.” Even worse, the child’s quest to prove mom and dad wrong will make everyone around them unhappy, too.

However, not every expert feels that way. Don’t give up, says Beth Levine, a social worker at The Family Service Center of Wilmette. “Your reasons for sending your child to overnight camp should coincide with what they want.”

Help them find the positive in the experience.

“They learn to negotiate the world around them,” says Enid Grabiner of Camp & Teen Travel Consultants in Northbrook. They make their beds, wash their clothes, navigate friendships and manage conflict.

It also presents them with opportunities to speak up for themselves. For example, if they don’t like the food, they learn how to say, “I don’t like this,” and ask for something else to eat.

W h y r a l ly f o r camp?

Studies show overnight camp is great preparation for college, Levine says. Campers experience much less homesickness and greater independence. Why?

Kaplan admits overnight camp is not for everyone. It depends on the child and whether they are emotionally ready and feel secure. Also, some kids are opposed to camp because they embrace the lazy days of summer and keep themselves busy, Grabiner says.

As long as your kids have something to do, our experts agree that it’s okay to pass on overnight camp.

camp Interlochen and Blue Lake, traditions in Michigan

By K aren Gentry

The benefits and rewards of attending an arts camp are many. For some kids, it’s their first opportunity to connect with other kids who are as passionate about a certain activity as they are. “Everybody here on campus wants to be here and wants to be here in a very sincere way,” says Chris Hintz, national marketing and communications manager for Interlochen Center for the Arts in northwest Michigan.

“For the student it’s very eye-opening and rewarding to be around people that care about their art as much as they do.”

Both Blue Lake and Interlochen are renowned for the strength and caliber of their faculty.

The length of summer programs at Interlochen vary by age and range from one to six weeks—junior programs are two weeks, intermediate programs are three weeks and some high school programs are six weeks. Blue Lake offers four 10-day sessions; the first two sessions are for high school students and the second two sessions are for junior high school students.

Although Interlochen is most widely recognized as a music camp, there are many new programs of equal caliber that are less well known, according to Hintz. For its

gram and rock music program.

At Blue Lake, students declare a major in choir, jazz, piano, harp, band or theater.

Students can also select from roughly 30 minors ranging from radio broadcasting to guitar to creative writing. Other examples of minors include fiddling, team sports, conducting, music composition, jazz, contemporary dance, world music, health and fitness and

radio broadcasting. “There are always new and interesting minors. It’s always changing,” McFarlin says.

Every student also now has the opportunity to see opera during their stay at Blue Lake as well as live Shakespeare in the new Elizabethan theater.

Interlochen, of course, offers similar opportunities to see live performances.

The cost to attend Blue Lake is typically about $1,000 to $1,200 depending on the program selected; the cost of Interlochen is $1,000 to $1,600 per week, for programs anywhere from one week to six weeks long (so, the total cost can range up to $7,970). Both

“We’re usually full by May, but some majors may be filled earlier than that,” he says.

Hintz says that while Interlochen encourages students to submit their applications by February 1, there is still room in most of the programs and the camp considers applications on a rolling basis until 22

the programs fill. He notes that some programs fill very quickly, particularly the theater program.

Interlochen has streamlined the audition process.

Although parents and students may get nervous about the thought of the audition, there’s “nothing to lose by submitting an audition to see what happens,” Hintz says.

Managing Food Allergies at Overnight Camp B y M e l a n i e K a lm a r

Avoiding foods that trigger allergic reactions is a way of life for children with food allergies and the families who love them.

But many families wonder if their child’s savvy is enough to navigate sleepaway camp

with new conditions, foods and friends. The answer, according to camp directors and experienced families, is yes—you just need to prepare ahead of time, when camp directors can focus on your child.

makeitbetter.net

2013 camp guide

With approximately 5.9 million kids, 1 in 13, suffering from a food allergy, it is a serious public health concern that camps should be able to handle, says Nancy Gregory, of Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE, foodallergy.org) in Virginia.

Three North Shorebased camps with grounds in Wisconsin, Beber Camp in Mukwonago (bebercamp. com) Camp Kawaga in Minocqua (kawaga.com) Camp Menominee in Eagle River, (campmenominee.com) are peanut-free, employ medical staff on-site and work with parents to create food management plans.

26

2013 camp guide

makeitbetter.net

How can you tell if an overnight camp is equipped to care for kids with food allergies? Follow these guidelines created by FARE: • Has the camp previously cared for kids with food allergies?

• Are counselors trained to administer an Epipen?

• Is there medical staff on-site?

• Is a hospital nearby?

Before choosing a camp, think about emergencies, and make sure it is within a reasonable distance from your home. Once you’ve selected a camp, do your due diligence: • Review the menu with the head chef.

• Read all ingredients and make necessary substitutions.

• Find out how food is prepared to avoid cross-contamination.

• Examine the camp’s food allergy management plan, and your food allergy action plan with the staff.

• Bring the plan to your child’s allergist for approval.

Tips for making sure your child doesn’t feel left out: • Consult with other mothers. Denise Bunning, cofounder of the North Shore support group Mothers of Children Having Allergies (MOCHA, mochallergies.org), and Dr. Ruchi Gupta, included a chapter

on overnight camp in their book, “The Food Allergy Experience” (CreateSpace, 2012).

• Ask for the itinerary and find a way to include your child in every facet of camp. For Highland Park mom Bari Lichtman, it meant sending safe treats for her son to pick up at the canteen.

• Make sure your child eats with a friend, if separate seating is recommended at mealtimes.

• Assign a buddy who can recognize an allergic reaction.

Once you’ve done your part, and everyone knows the drill, all that’s left is to have fun.

into the wild: trip camps

By Kristina Tober

Many summer camps offer a “trip� option. For some, that means one night camping 50 feet away from their cabin.

For others, it can mean a two-night canoe trip. Often, the trip is optional and just one of the many electives offered, like riflery and sailing.

Only a small number of summer camps center their curriculum around a wilderness trip.

“There’s nothing like a wilderness experience to develop a child in body and spirit,” explains JR Verkamp, director of Kooch-i-Ching, an all-boys camp in Minnesota.

“Through a trip’s adventures and challenges, our youth not only gain a respect and reverence for nature, but for themselves as well.”

30

2013 camp guide

makeitbetter.net

W h at ’ s a w ilder ness tr ip ?

Some trips involve backpacking or mountaineering, others canoe or kayak trips.

Depending on the age and experience level of each group, a trip can last from 5 days to a month in the wild.

While in camp, participants help with trip planning and preparation. They are taught how to paddle, portage a canoe, carry a wigwam, read a map, pitch a

tent, start and build a fire.

Older campers finesse climbing, and wilderness survival skills that they will put to use on their wilderness adventure—whether hiking across the peaks of Colorado or paddling the waterways of North America.

A reputable trip camp requires its wilderness trip leaders to be certified in wilderness first aid, American Red Cross CPR, whitewater training and leave-no-trace camping. They should have an evacuation plan, and provide satellite phones to trip leaders.

T r i p ta k e away s

Every summer camp teaches valuable life lessons, but on a wilderness trip, the gains may be greater.

S e l f - co n f i d e n c e and resilience. “My sons learned to make fires when cold and make meals from what they packed. They learned to manage bad weather and find resilience from within,” says Catherine Yehle, mother of two boys who have attended Kooch-i-Ching for many years. “On these trips, they are literally and figuratively learning to navigate the rapids.”

Teamwork. “It quickly becomes clear that everyone can and has to play a role; there is no bench for the weakest player,” adds Ellen Flight, director of Songadeewin, an all-girls camp located in Vermont.

Strength.

There’s nothing like paddling for eight hours a day or traversing a mountain to build strength

makeitbetter.net

2013 camp guide

31

and endurance, and to prove to yourself and others just how strong you are, physically and emotionally.

Appreciation for the little things. For many kids, it’s the first time they really know hunger, crave a shower and a warm bed. Even better, it’s the first time they experience the magic of the northern lights or a beaver at work.

Peace and quiet. A wilderness trip provides time to think, reflect and imagine. There is no electricity, no technology, only a campfire and tent, your trip mates and mother nature.

“Over four weeks a camper will spend approximately 280 hours outdoors, paddling and portaging canoes, experiencing animals and trees in

32

2013 camp guide

makeitbetter.net

the wild; they will hike, fish, start fires, make and build things and stretch their imagination,” reflects Verkamp.

“During the equivalent period, the child left inside will spend 182 hours watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Internet.”

Fin ding a tru e w ilder ness tr ip camp

One of the best resources is the American Camping Association, the largest national camp association in the U.S. To become a member, a camp must be audited every three years, and is checked on hundreds of items covering everything from health and safety to wilderness tripping.

The ACA’s website is acacamps.org.
