f you feel like another school year is careening to an end, you’re not alone!

who’ve been busy with homework and after-school activities all school-year long. But all good things must come to an end. Before long you’ll find yourself living off saltines in a dust-ridden house, aching for the chance to shop, clean, and maybe even make a living, minus an energetic kid or three begging you to entertain them. “Mommy I’m BORED!!!” Enter summer camps; exhauster of children, savior of parents. It doesn’t matter what your kiddo likes to do, there’s a camp for it! Whether he’s a
ARTSY CAMPS Singing, dancing, theater and painting!

Working parents might also want to consider a day camp, which provides a wide range of field trips and incamp activities while parents are away at work. Adventure Bound Day Camp is located at the Chilson Center in Loveland (www.cityofloveland.org/index. aspx?page=689.).

Be safe in the great outdoors
Campfires, hypothermia, dehydration, poisonous plants and bugs… JANET KASK
S
leeping bag? Check. Hiking boots? Check. Safety guidelines? A must! While the preparations for a family camping or hiking trip usually include a review of the necessary gear, parents should also review safety guidelines with their children, paying special attention to potential hazards specific to camping, hiking, outdoor recreation, water and falls. Going camping or hiking can be wonderful activities for parents to do with their children, but it is essential to remember key safety guidelines as you’ll be leaving the daily environment your kids are used to. A campfire is a serious responsibility because it’s the only situation where a family is purposely starting a fire outdoors and a long way from a pressurized water supply or the nearest fire engine. Campfires, portable stoves, heaters and fuel-burning lanterns—in addition to the danger of starting an uncontrolled brush fire—all produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless and odorless gas that can poison a child very quickly. About 30 campers each year die of CO poisoning. If someone near a campfire or portable stove seems drowsy, disoriented or sick, move that person away from the fire immediately to get some fresh air. Safe Kids Larimer County recommends these safety guidelines around campfires and portable heating devices: • Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children. • Never use matches, lighters, candles or any device powered by kerosene, propane or other heating fuel inside a tent or camper. • Always actively supervise children near a campfire or portable stove. Follow posted rules about campfires, and do not light fires in windy or excessively dry conditions. • Keep a bucket of water and a shovel near the fire at all times. Extinguish the fire completely before going to sleep or leaving the site. Also keep these guidelines in mind while camping and hiking: 12 | RMPARENT
| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
•K eep first aid supplies and emergency phone numbers handy, and know where the nearest phone is located. Cell phones might not work in remote areas. •L et friends and relatives know where you are going and when you are coming home. • Never let children hike alone. •D ress children in layers of clothing to help prevent heat-related illness and hypothermia. A child’s body temperature changes faster than an adult’s. •D o not push kids to go on a longer or more strenuous hike than they can handle. Exhausted children are more likely to fall, wander off or otherwise get injured. •B ring plenty of drinking water or sports drinks and high-energy snacks. •K ids should wear hiking boots and
clothing that offers protection from scrapes, bites and poisonous plants. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, apply insect repellent to a child’s clothing and exposed skin. • Always supervise young children near water and insist your children wear personal flotation devices when out on boats, near open bodies of water or participating in water sports. • Apply sunscreen rated SPF 15 or higher to your child’s exposed skin 15 to 30 minutes before going out, and reapply frequently. It is possible to get sunburn in cloudy conditions. For more information on outdoor recreation safety, visit www.safekids.org. Safe Kids Larimer County works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause of death and disability to children ages 1 to 14.

OFF THE HOOK ARTS By Kate Forgach Many of today’s children primarily interact with music by listening to their favorite tunes, but much recent research suggests that studying music and playing a musical instrument from a young age offers substantial benefits academically and socially. Children who study music from an early age can do better at a range of subjects such as math, science, arts and language, and they also learn that there are rewards from hard work, practice, and discipline. Novice and more experienced young musicians between the ages of 5 and 18 will reap these benefits during the annual Off the Hook Arts SummerFest Music Academy which will take place in Fort Collins from June 28th to July 2nd, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “For the fifth year in a row we will offer a fun and educational way for kids to learn more about themselves and the arts,” said Jephta Bernstein, Off the Hook’s Executive and Artistic Director. “Our affordable five-day summer music and arts camps provides enriching musical experiences with outstanding instructors devoted to keeping students musically nourished and inspired.” The Academy is offered in two Divisions - One for children who currently play violin or viola, and one for children who may be experiencing their first introduction to instrumental music. Daily schedules include diverse exposure to relevant areas
of the arts that stimulate and encourage creative thought and growth. The String Players Division welcomes students ages 8 to 18 and offers beginning, intermediate and advanced-level Musical Repertoire classes focusing on solo and chamber music for violin and viola. This program addresses technique and musicality via the Suzuki method while working on World and traditional music. Daily schedules include large-ensemble, theater, fiddle, and improvisation and composition classes. The Music Explorers Division is for children ages 5 to 10 years of age. This Dalcroze-based program provides a dynamic and fun-filled arts introduction. Music Explorers is perfect for children that don’t already play or have just begun playing an instrument,” said Bernstein. “It’s a great way for them to fully explore and discover their creative self through movement, music, theatre and art.” Faculty members will include Justin Lader, a Eugene, Oregon-based instructor of violin/viola and traditional Suzuki method. Justin will be joined by additional instructors who come to us from Integral Steps, a Dalcroze-based Boulder non-profit. The Dalcroze Method, also known as Dalcroze Eurhythmics, uses movement to teach concepts of structure, rhythm and musical expression. It focuses on allowing
a student to gain physical awareness and experience of music through training that takes place through all of the senses, particularly kinesthetic. In addition to the week-long Academy program, Off The Hook Arts is delighted to offer a variety of additional programming of interest to young people this summer including our three day STE(A)M² Workshops and Design Faire, a program which will combine STEM and the Arts in a series of storytelling, music and science-design oriented afternoons; Improve your Improv; and Guitar Aerobics with Eliot Fisk. Live music is also part of the summer fun with a musical storybook, Adventures of Julian and two Family Concerts, My What Big Ears You Have and Leave it to Ludwig!, hosted by Bruce Adolphe, the Director of Family Concerts at The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in NYC. Their sophisticated and entertaining humor will make the whole family laugh and bring them one step closer to understanding the maestros of the classical music world. The SummerFest Music Academy will take place at Ridgeview Classical Charter School in Fort Collins. Tuition is $260 for the week. Scholarships are available. For more information, visit offthehookarts.org/oth-music-school, email director@OfftheHookArts.org or call 970.305.2261.
