W

hile summer is still months away, parents who send their children to day camps when school is out of session have already begun the process of choosing from the varying options. The majority of northern Coloradans who are employed full-time and throughout the year want to find a safe, fun, and enriching place for their children to be while they are at work.

When looking for summer activities for their children, northern Colorado parents today are faced with an incredible wealth of options. Churches, gyms, schools, activity centers, and more offer summer day camp options. With so many from which to choose, the process of planning and registration can feel overwhelming and frustrating to the parents and caregivers who make these decisions. Despite these frustrations, parents and caregivers universally want to give their children opportunities for fun, learning, and enrichment rather than simply a safe place for them to be all day.

Whether your family is seeking camp-care each week over the summer, or only for a few weeks to add excitement and fun to the summer, the benefits remain meaningful and plentiful. Summer camp is important because it offers a structured opportunity for children to grow. Kids go from home to school to extracurriculars, with each environment contributing to their development.

Summer camp, then, is another unique venue for growth, allowing kids to become independent and self-confident,

while socializing and making new friends, and even learning new skills.

CAMPS OFFER NEW EXPERIENCES At the most basic level, day camps can offer kids unique opportunities that nurture creative impulses or exposure to places or ideas that aren’t always addressed in schools. Kristen Wilkinson, Program Coordinator for the Environmental Learning Center with Colorado State University contributes to the oversight of the ELC’s youth summer camp program. She says, “In my experience, one of the biggest benefits of kids participating in summer camp is

the opportunity spend time in nature in a way that fosters personal connections to a place.”

Kids Do It All summer theater camp offers a completely different type of new experiences by offering campers a unique opportunity that encourages teamwork and cooperation while encouraging kids to be totally creative.

A group of 10-15 kids come together as strangers on Monday and by Saturday, they are a creative team showcasing a finished theatrical production.

“It’s pretty incredible what kids can accomplish in a short of amount of time, and that is empowering, both for the

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

kids in the camp and the counselors who work with them,” says Debbie Swann of the Theatre Faculty at the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance at CSU, who assists in the coordination of the Kids Do It All summer day camp series.

CAMP BUILDS SOCIAL SKILLS Swann says, “Building social skills is one of the biggest benefits of camps from a parent perspective. It’s important for kids continue to interact with new people, outside of home and school, to learn how communicate, cooperate, and adapt to changing social situations.

These skills last a lifetime.” The reason for this is simple: going to camp provides the perfect environment for children to take social risks. It may seem scary at first to enter a whole new social world at camp. However, camp offers a crash course on meeting new people— helping children build social skills, explore their independence, and improve their self-esteem.

CAMP BUILDS CONFIDENCE Camp reinforces independence and empowerment; even if you think your kids are independent, nothing brings 10 | RMPARENT

| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

out and tests that independence more than giving them time away from you, on their own. Without parents around, kids need to make their own decisions. Wilkinson says, “Spending so much time in nature [or any new camp environment] increases kids’ confidence in themselves and we see them get more comfortable with exploring and becoming more confident as the week goes on.”

CAMPS FACILITATE NEW FRIENDSHIPS Ninety-six percent of youth campers say, “Camp helped me make new friends.” Camps give kids an extraordinary opportunity meet new friends with whom they might not otherwise interact. Students often attend school year after year with the same peers, which can lead to labeling and being ‘stuck’ with a particular perception. A child may become known as studious, quiet, etc., when, really, he can be boisterous in another setting.

Children who go to day or sleepaway camps meet a whole other group of people in a different environment.

Often times, a child will break out of his supposed categorization if given

the chance. Wilkinson supported this sentiment, “Camp also gives kids the opportunity to form new friendships with their peers and build bonds with summer camp instructors.”

FINDING A FIT Finding a camp environment that fits and suits your child’s needs and interests is crucial. Experiences and opportunities in northern Colorado vary greatly. Wilkinson says what makes ELC camps unique options for youths is “ELC summer camps have full access to our 212-acre property, which includes access to the Cache la Poudre river, four distinct ecosystems and ample opportunity for wildlife viewing. We spend all day exploring nature during our camps, taking full advantage of this resource.”

Whether it’s the outdoors, increased athletic skills, training in the arts or sciences, intentionally developed social skills, or simply days filled with fun and games, summer day camp opportunities abound in Northern Colorado.

Which camp is right for my child?

Check on fit and safety before sending your kid off to camp JANET WERST

E

ven though the thermometer doesn’t say it, summer is right around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what to do with the kids. If you’re considering sending your kids to a summer day camp or an overnight camp, here are some things to consider ensuring it is a safe environment.

First and foremost, is the camp accredited through the American Camp Association? ACA accreditation ensures that the camp has had a regular, independent safety audit that goes beyond regulations in most states. This accreditation is the best evidence we have of the camp’s commitment to a safe environment for children.

Second, what type of training is required for staff members? All staff should be certified in first-aid/ CPR. They should also have additional training for specific medical emergencies. If you have a child with special health care needs (asthma, diabetes, allergies, ADHD, etc.) be sure to inform the camp staff prior to the first day and find out what type of training they’ve received in regards to your health concerns. If you do not feel their training is adequate, schedule a time with their nurse and key staff to provide the training that is specific to your child.

14 | RMPARENT

| SUMMER CAMP GUIDE

Do your research. Ask other parents, read their website, interview the staff, ask for references.

• What type of activities will your child be participating in during the day?

• If transportation is provided for field trips, will they provide an appropriate child restraint or do you need to supply one? Do they know how to install the child restraint?

• How do they handle discipline issues?

• How do they handle children who do not want to participate in particular activities (not all kids are good at art or at sports)? Are there options to keep them engaged?

• What type of healthy lunches and snacks do they provide? How do they handle food allergies for meals/snacks?

• What is the counselor-to-child ratio?

Younger children should have more counselors to provide active supervision to ensure curiosity does not put them in danger.

• W hat type of supervision is provided for water activities? Camp staff

should be heavily involved in the supervision even if certified lifeguards are be provided. The more eyes the better as drowning is a silent killer.

• For an overnight camp, how safe are the cabins? How often are bunk beds inspected, do they have hand rails on stairs? Has the staff practiced evacuation drills in case of a fire?

• W hat type of medical oversight is there? Is there a nurse that only comes one day a week or even less?

Not all camps are created equally.

Staff changes on a frequent basis, so even if your child has gone to that particular camp before, ask about staffing and the schedule of events. You want your child to create great memories and make new friends while keeping them safe. Include your child in the decision making if they are old enough/mature enough. For more information, you can visit www. campparents.org. Happy Camping!
