Enrich your child’s world through camp Summer camps enhance education, build friendships and increase self-confidence Katie Harris 8 | RMPARENT
| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
S
ummer is an opportune time to diversify your child’s school-year routine with unique activities and experiences. One of the simplest and most effective ways to accomplish this is by enrolling kids in a summer camp tailored to their interests. According to The American Camp Association (ACA), there’s been a recent growth in specialty programming being added to traditional camp activities, creating more opportunities than ever to find a camp that appeals to any child (www.acacamps.org). “There are so many wonderful summer camps in Colorado catering to any interest you can imagine,” says Brownyn Timmons, product and marketing manager for Mad Science Camps of Colorado. “Putting kids in a camp they have interest in gets them excited from day one.” Mad Science (www.colorado.madscience.org) offers weeklong camps all summer on a variety of science topics from robotics to outer space at their Fort Collins, Denver, Colorado Springs and Evergreen locations. Timmons says the weeklong design allows families flexibility in choosing how many weeks they wish to enroll. The narrow topics of each weekly camp are designed to allow campers to explore topics of
interest at a deeper level. “Kids don’t have to be really science savvy to participate in our camps,” says Timmons. “Our job is to spark that interest in them and get them excited and wanting to explore science more.” While exploring and igniting interest in new topics is a common reason families choose to enroll their children in summer camps, it’s far from the only benefit camps have on kids. According to the ACA’s Youth Outcomes Study, over 90 percent of experienced youth campers associated summer camp with making new friends, getting to know kids who were different than themselves, and feeling good about themselves. The same study showed that 70
percent of parents of campers said their child gained self-confidence at camp, 69 percent said their child remained in touch with friends made at camp, and 63 percent said their child continues to participate in some of the activities learned at camp. Brooke Cheley-Klebe, owner and director of Cheley Colorado Camp in Estes Park, agrees that connecting with other kids and challenging themselves to try new things are some of the biggest benefits of summer camps for kids. The 27-day-long overnight Cheley Colorado Camp is designed to help kids gain independence, build relationships with peers and camp counselors, and immerse themselves in nature. “Taking longer than a five day break from technology is a huge benefit,” says Cheley-Klebe. “They turn off their devices when they get to camp and they become really invested and connected with the people around them. It’s a very rich experience in the friendships that they make and the challenges they get to be a part of.” Adventure Bound Day Camp at the Hatfield-Chilson Recreation Center in Loveland (www.ci.loveland. co.us/departments/parks-recreation/ events-promotions/adventure-boundday-camp) offers a flexible beforeand after-camp daycare and pick-up program designed to accommodate parents’ work schedules without costing families an arm and a leg. The camp not only challenges kids to try new
activities, such as Zumba and yoga classes, swimming at the indoor pool and embarking on frequent field trips, it encourages them to work on character building as well. “This year we’re incorporating a character education theme,” says Kelly Rathbun, day camp director for Adventure Bound Day Camp. “Campers will be given a characteristic to demonstrate all week. This is designed to benefit campers socially, emotionally, and mentally as well as educationally.” Filling the educational gap that three months off school can create is another major benefit of camps, and one that parents frequently pay special attention to when choosing the right fit for their child. “Camps help keep kids engaged with their education when school is out,” says Timmons. “During the summer time it’s easy for kids to fall into the grind of playing video games or watching TV. Educational camps help bridge that gap for them and keep them learning.” Of course, camp shouldn’t be all work. Perhaps the biggest benefit of summer camp is the opportunity to have fun and be a kid. “It gives kids the opportunity to just play,” says Rathbun. “With the focus on school standards and standardized testing these days, we want to give kids the opportunity to have free play and use their imagination without so much structure so that they can tap into that creative side and have fun.” SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Off to camp—safely
Do your homework before sending kids to summer camp JANET WERST
S
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 day or overnight 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-tochild 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? 12 | RMPARENT
| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Safety tips for camp
Here are additional tips for parents so that safety stays top of mind:
•A lert the camp director of any special needs your child has and ask how they may accommodate your camper.
• I f 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. Ensure your child wears a life vest when participating in water sports. T each children to obey traffic rules. As a general guideline, no child under the age of 10 should cross the street alone. R emind 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. S end children with proper footwear (water shoes, closed-toed shoes, hiking boots) for the various activities they will be doing. A pply 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. S end 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. For more safety tips, visit www.sklarimer.org.
Do they have a camp nurse on site? • 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.
