Staci Kane, Registered Nurse
Rose begins her 19th year in camping this summer, and her 6th year at PDS. She is looking forward to the innovative programming this summer. Rose has a degree in Business Management and has Red Cross certification in CPR and First Aid. She enjoys the behindthe-scenes work to bring together programs and instructors so that campers feel challenged to succeed, all while having a summer they won’t forget! Watching all the pieces come together during the summer is a proud moment.
Staci is a full-time School Nurse. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a Minor in Early Childhood Education, a Nursing Degree, and the New Jersey License for Practice as a Registered Professional Nurse. Staci has always worked with children. In most situations, children look for a nurturing individual to help them feel better, and Staci strives to be that person. Her main goal is to keep your children happy and healthy during their day at camp.

2019 New Programs Art Adventure
Natural Arts
Explore color, form, texture, line & shape through various media. Students are given opportunities for self-expression. Lessons aren’t “cookie cutter” projects where every student makes an identical product. Instead, students are encouraged to think about their ideas and express themselves uniquely through their arts. Grades 5-8.
Students will learn how to incorporate the natural world into their artistic creations. They will explore a variety of artistic media such as printmaking with plants, foundational watercolor skills, stencils making, and collage. Students will explore the garden and grounds of PDS to make nature-based art projects such as earth looms, candles, and more. Grades 1-4.
Cursive Writing
Natural Art Expression
Would you like your child to learn cursive writing? Studies have shown that writing in cursive is beneficial in many ways, for example, one study concluded that improved handwriting skills benefit cognitive development and motor skills and can lead to improved writing skills and reading comprehension. Campers will review letters, words, and sentences. When students learned cursive writing, they were excited to find that they could write entire words without lifting their pencil from the paper. Grades 3-4.
Students will explore the canvas of the natural world, crafting artistic expressions from nature and the art studio. Students will create art from upcycled materials, demonstrating the beauty of recreation through artistic expression.

PDS English teachers, Karen Latham, Jamie McCulloch, and Tom Quigley are once again combining their talents and teaching experience to instruct a summer college essay seminar. Karen, Jamie, and Q. have more than thirty years of experience teaching the college essay and have been part of the English Department
at PDS for a combined thirty-six years. The college essay seminar will guide students through the process of choosing a topic, drafting, revising, editing and polishing at least two personal narratives. By reviewing and analyzing a range of past college application essays and essay questions, by cultivating elements of voice and style, and by discovering what is likely to work and what isn’t, students will be prepared to approach other essays and supplements on their applications with knowledge and confidence. During the course, the teachers will also share an extensive collection of articles and recommendations from college admissions officers focused on what colleges look for when reading essays. This course makes the college essay process interesting, informative, and fun. Note that this course is not meant to replace the work PDS College Counseling does, but rather complement it. Students from PDS, Hill, Peddie, Hun, Pennington, Lawrenceville, Montgomery, Hopewell and Princeton High School, the Windsors, and Stuart have completed the course with success and satisfaction. 2-Week Program, Grade 12.
