We created a preschool and daycare where all parents are treated with respect and recognition that life is full of adventure.

Miss Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childcare
iss Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childcare gives children the chance to truly enjoy summer. It is a gently structured adventure that allows children to play, interact with other children, and have fun, while learning social skills, respect, responsibility and creativity. Children strengthen their scholastic and pre-K requirements and have fun at the same time. Toddlers received the encouragement and nurturing they need to help them develop into enthusiastic, confident preschoolers. Days are filled with games, physical activity, music, crafts and imagination. Playing, swinging, sliding, splashing, laughing, climbing, singing, and just downright childish fun are on the agenda for Valley children age 2-5. Summer is a magical time for children and Miss Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has a homey atmosphere with an extended-family experience, in a fully-equipped and certified childcare center. Full-day, half-day and part-time care is provided in a nurturing, educated and cheerful environment. Drop-ins are accepted with reservations. Miss Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been providing childcare in the Wood River Valley for more than 10 years. A child has only ONE childhood and should be allowed the opportunity to enjoy it. Let your children have fun this summer while learning at the same time. Miss Lauraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Childcare Center: 928-7418.
dventure is waiting for you this summer at Luther Heights!

Youth can participate in swimming, canoeing, archery, group games, a variety of special interest activities, horseback rides, worships and Bible studies. Campers are welcomed by trained college-age counselors chosen for their love of youth, their maturity and their willingness to share their faith and life with youth. Counselors and campers will live together in community for a week, meanwhile sharing a cabin space with 4-7 other youths. Luther Heights offers two family camps, July 2-5 and August 6-9. The weekend includes activities and programs geared specifically for adults and children, both separately and together. Our ultimate goal with each camp group is to establish a Christian community in which people have fun, are inspired, are encouraged to love one another, help and serve one another, appreciate and forgive one another, communicate earnestly with one another, achieve new insights about themselves, and discover Christâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence in their lives. Luther Heights is accredited by the American Camping Association www.aca.org. Developed exclusively for the camp industry, this nationally recognized program focuses on program quality, health and safety issues, and requires us to review every facet of our operation.

The Mountain School
F
or the past three summers, The Mountain School has provided a truly unique day camp experience for Wood River Valley children. Our program provides first-hand experience with our school’s amazing farm, animals, bountiful gardens and outdoor spaces. The Mountain School beautifully balances the outdoor aspect by intertwining arts, crafts and music. Throughout the entire summer, our farming and permaculture programs introduce the students to simple, ethical and energy-efficient living through work with gardening, greenhouse use and animal husbandry. This practical magic with the school’s resident animals (chickens, ducks, goats, rabbits, a cow, miniature horses, and honey bees) is a deep connection for the young or older child. The arts program includes: singing, drum talk, cooperative games, painting, sculpture, drama, movement and dance, drawing and handwork. Wilderness skills are developed by archery, primitive wilderness skills and exploring. Come play with us on our trails, small creeks and nearby river environment or find daily changes transpiring in the rich garden life. Our indoor environment is as enchanting as our outdoor environment, with the indoor greenhouse and art room; kitchen for cooking the bounty from the farm and garden; our handmade and natural fiber toys and crafting materials; or playing in the cozy castle or tree house. The Mountain School’s Summer Camp Program has been a success in introducing the school, our idyllic campus and the philosophy of Waldorf education into the community. It provides an environment that sets the foundation for a lifelong connection to the environment and balanced living. For more information about the camps contact Brenda Lyon at summercamp@themountainschool.info or call 208-720-8648.

Hailey Public Library and Teen Tech Week By KAREN BOSSICK
Y
ou often hear of the wisdom of the elders. But this past week it was the young teaching the elders. Four Wood River High School seniors answered questions for nearly two dozen seniors who showed up at the Hailey Public Library with questions pertaining to computers, cell phones, the Internet and digital cameras. The seniors asked about downloading photos, Google entourage, how to organize e-mail addresses, how to set up a Facebook account and how to create a personalized home page offering the top 10 things that mattered most to them, from the weather forecast to YouTube to CNN News. And the teens—Kaili Smith, Rachel Maier, Sydney Brower and John Crotty—answered back, with Wood River High School librarian Geraldine Maniere and Wood River Middle School librarian Susan Tabor-Boesch providing backup support. “They did a wonderful job. They were very patient,” said Geraldine Maniere, the high school librarian.
Letters from Camp:

The event was part of National Teen Tech Week and was sponsored by the Hailey Public Library, Wood River High School and Wood River Middle School, said Hailey Public Library librarian Jeanie Johnston. The event included a private tour of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts’ exhibition, “I Spy: Surveillance and Security.” Wood River High School Senior R.J. Forgeon presented a claymation video he’s been working on to members of the
Blaine County Teen Advisory Council (BCTAC) and the United Hispanic Leaders of Wood River Middle School. And Wood River Middle School librarian Susan TaborBoesch constructed a display of old technology, including a record player, filmstrip machine, old-fashioned popcorn popper and electric typewriter. The electric typewriter intrigued the kids, Maniere said. “It was new to them, but old.” twp
