he end of another school year is in sight, and kids are chomping at the bit! Parents, on the other hand, may feel differently. For families with two parents who work outside the home, finding supervision for kids during the summer months can be a challenge. Finding a camp that meets your child’s needs and caters to her interests is one great solution. Not only do camps solve the summer childcare dilemma, they also help prevent summer boredom and provide a unique opportunity for kids to gain experience in an area that interests them. Whether a summer-long day camp, short-term interest-specific camp, or even an overnight camp is up your family’s alley, you can most certainly find what you’re looking for in northern Colorado. Read on to find out more about camp options in our area, including some you might never have considered before, and be sure to register soon, as camps fill quickly! SPORTS CAMPS Among the most popular camps each year are those with a sports theme. For good reason too, as sports camps increase physical and mental well-being in the form of exercise, teamwork, sportsmanship and strategy. Another reason these camps tend to be so in-demand is the huge variety that is offered. For example, local universities CSU and UNC offer several sports-based youth camps, such as baseball, basketball, volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, and tennis. The Edge Sports Center in Fort Collins offers camps for a handful of traditional sports as well, including basketball, baseball, and volleyball. For the ballerina in your life, The Studio offers summer dance camps for ages 3 and up, at its Fort Collins and Loveland locations. And 9- to 14-year-old aspiring golfers will have a unique opportunity this year to participate in a 4-day Nike Golf Camp sponsored by US Sports at Pelican Lakes in Windsor. There are literally dozens of paths you can take with a camp specializing in sports instruction. • University of Northern Colorado camps uncbears.com/sports/2014/10/13/ GEN_1013143153.aspx 8 | RMPARENT

In Fort Collins, Flying Colors Art School offers half-day and full-day “yoga and art” camps for ages 5 to 12. Children will spend time at local parks, creating artwork and learning about the history of art, while taking breaks for yoga sets! Have an aspiring potter at home? At an Artisan You camp in Loveland, kids can create fairy gardens and other fun projects with their own personal touches. Camps last a few hours and span multiple days. Music theater camp, offered at Up in Lights in Loveland, is the perfect fit for the child interested in music and
acting. At these camps, available to ages 6 to 18, kids will spend 2.5 weeks working on a specific performance, which they will perform on stage at the end of camp. This summer’s plays include Annie for 6- to 9-year-olds, The Wizard of Oz for 10- to 13-year-olds, and Les Miserables for 14- to 18-yearolds. Classes fill quickly and some may already be on wait lists, so call soon to reserve your spot. • Flying Colors Art School www.flyingcolorsartschool.com 970-308-7283 • Artisan You www.artisanyou.com/events/classes/ 970-663-4906 • Up in Lights www.upinlights.org/ 970-292-8682 EDUCATIONAL/SPECIAL-INTEREST CAMPS If your child has already developed a strong interest in a particular subject, you might be surprised to find a camp geared just for him. For example, young Lego enthusiasts can build the summer away at a Play Well Lego Camp, held at the Chilson Recreation Center in Loveland. These camps, held throughout the summer for 5- to 12-year-olds, feature daily projects based on themes such as Star Wars, space, Minecraft, and robots. Kids will learn engineering principals and terminology while exploring

Off to camp—safely
Do your homework before sending kids to summer camp JA N E T W E R S T

ummer means fun in the sun, water recreation and for many, summer camp! “The warmer months of May through September are when most accidental injuries happen whether playing at home, riding in a vehicle or enjoying summer camp. Parents should be well informed about how the camp they choose makes for a safe, healthy environment for kids,” says Dr. Peyton Taliaferro, Safe Kids member and Loveland based family physician. Safe Kids offers the following tips to help parents make the best, safest choice for their child when it comes to summertime activities at camp. First, decide what kind of camp your child would enjoy including day camps, specialty camps, and sleepover camps. If your child has special needs or does best with extra time to acclimate to a new environment, start your research early to find the best camp to suit his needs and interests. Next, contact the camps of your choice and ask some key questions: • What does a typical day look like? • What kind of foods (meals and snacks) do they provide? Can they accommodate your child’s special dietary needs? • What is the camp counselor-to-child ratio? This is especially important for any water activities. • What type of training or certification requirements does the camp have for its staff (including CPR/First aid training)? Does the camp require a thorough criminal/background check for all staff? • What kind of safety gear is provided with various activities or should you pack your own? (i.e. helmets, life jackets, etc.) • Will children be transported at any time during camp and if so, how? If not via school bus, then parents should provide a car seat/booster seat. • How is medication administered? Do they have a camp nurse on site? 12 | RMPARENT
| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
• What is the camp’s discipline policy? • Is the summer camp ACA (American Camp Association) accredited? ACA Accreditation ensures that the camp has had a regular, independent safety audit that goes beyond regulations in most states. ACA accreditation is the best evidence parents have of a camp’s commitment to
a safe environment for their children. Parents should ask for a list of references – sometimes it can be helpful to talk with other families who have participated in the camp. Janet Werst is the Injury Prevention Coordinator at the University of Colorado Health.
Safety tips for camp
Here are additional tips for parents so that safety stays top of mind: Alert the camp director of any special needs your child has and ask how they may accommodate your camper.
Send children with proper footwear (water shoes, closed toed shoes, hiking boots) for the various activities they will be doing.
If your child will be biking at camp, make sure her bike is in good working order with reflectors on the front, back and sides. Children should wear close-toed shoes and a helmet, every time.
Apply sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher to your child’s exposed skin 15 to 30 minutes before going out, and send a bottle of sunscreen with your child so that she can reapply frequently.
Ensure your child wears a life vest when participating in water sports. Teach children to obey traffic rules. As a general guidelines, no child under the age of 10 should cross the street alone. Remind children to wear their seatbelt when traveling in any vehicle; be sure to bring a car seat/booster seat and require that your child be properly restrained when in a car/van.
Send a refillable water bottle with your child and encourage him to fill it several times a day in order to stay hydrated. Active supervision by counselors, using proper protective gear every time and other simple prevention steps will help children avoid danger this summer while attending camp.

Players looking for a higher level of competition with limited travel will greatly benefit from the academy-style training and focus on growing in the game.
Competitive Team Selection Dates at Monfort Park Tryouts will be Tuesday, May 26, Wednesday, May 27, and Thursday, May 28. Times will be announced at a later date
PDL Registration: May 1 - July 15
RecPlus Program
This program welcomes the “Under 11 through 18” existing teams as well as individual players looking to join a team. Teams experience an increased level of competition, do limited travel and also participate in their own age division. *Both RecPlus players will compete against teams from Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor during an 8-game fall and spring season. With the increased competition base, it provides opportunity to develop your child’s skills to the next level.
