    How to

    choosea summer

    MARGARET GATESCUSTOM CONTENT EDITOR

    A

    h, summer camp. It’s a rite of passagefor many children. And the inspirationfor many a movie, too.

    Twins separated at birth rediscov-

    ered each other at summer camp in“The Parent Trap,” and Mitchie found her musi-cal mojo at Disney’s “Camp Rock.”

    Your child may not be looking for long-lost sib-lings or singing stardom, but they can still get alot out of summer camp, whether it’s a taste of in-dependence, a new friend or an improved base-ball swing.

    During the frigid days of winter, eating s’moresaround a summer campfire might not be fore-most in anyone’s mind, but choosing a summercamp for your child should be, says Chris Smith,director of Lancaster YMCA Camp Shand.

     While day camps can more easily accommo-date later registrations, overnight camps have alimited number of beds and tend to fill up morequickly, she says.

    So now is the time to make those plans. If thisis the first time you’re choosing a summer camp,here are some things to consider.

    1. Your child’s interestsSome camps, like Camp Shand in Cornwall,

    Black Rock Retreat in Quarryville and WoodcrestRetreat in Ephrata, offer an array of traditional

    summer camp activities, from canoeing and ar-chery to arts and crafts, hiking and wildernessskills. Others are specialized for interests suchas basketball, horsesback riding or even sailing,if you’re willing to travel.

    “Some kids want a very specific focus and some

    want a more broad experience,” says Josh Foley,summer camp director at Black Rock.

    2. Your child’s social skillsResidential camp might not be the best for ev-

    ery child, especially if they’ve never been awayfrom mom and dad overnight before. If that’s thecase, a night or two at grandma’s house might bea good trial run, Smith and Foley suggest.

    “Some kids are just not open to that or they’renot ready for that,” Foley says. “In that case, a daycamp might be a better thing.”

    3. The length of the campCamp stays can vary from weekend retreats to

    two- to four-week adventures.“If you have an inkling your child might get

    homesick, look for a camp that has a shortersession,” Smith says, noting that homesicknesssometimes sets in around the second day.

    “It’s a lot easier to say you only have three morenights, you can do this, than you only have twomore weeks.”

    4. Is the campaccredited?

    The American Camp Asso-

    ciation, a century-old nonprofitdedicated to ensuring qualitycamp programs throughout theUnited States, accredits morethan 2,400 camps based on upto 300 standards for health,safety and program quality.

    You can find accredited campsat acacamps.org.

    5. Know the staff Parents should ask about the

    age and maturity of the staff, ifthey are trained in CPR and firstaid, and whether they undergobackground checks, Smith says.

     Additionally, Foley says, in-quire about the camp’s hiringprocess, the staff-to-camper ra-tio, whether they have a healthcare manager on site, and howthey are trained to handlehomesickness and other behav-

    ioral issues.

    6. Distance from home“Lots of parents will feel a

    little more comfortable if theyare closer and they don’t haveto drive five or six hours,” Smithsays, especially if the child getshomesick.

    7. Know the history Some questions to ask in-

    clude: How long has the campbeen operating? Is it affiliatedwith something that’s impor-tant to you, such as a religiousorganization? Does it have a vi-sion or mission? Is it nonprofitor for-profit?

    8. Talk to others Ask those who have attended

    the camp for their opinion.

    “That’s how a lot of kids endup at the camps they’re at,”Smith says.

    9. CostIf a camp seems financially

    out of reach, ask if there aresponsorships available. Many

    Continued from 2

    offer financial assistance to low-er-income families.

    10. Day campdecisions

    Many families look at day

    camps as a substitute for childcare over the summer months.If you are sending your childto a day camp that will last for

    most of the summer, make sureit has a variety of programs, toprevent boredom, Smith says.There should also be a progres-sion so that the program ad-

     vances with the child.

    In terms of distance, a childshould not have to travel morethan 45 minutes to attend a daycamp, Smith says.

    Camp: How to choose for your child this summer 

    t If a day camp is more your child’s speed,there are plenty to suit any interest, like Barry

    Kornhauser’s Arts Smarts Camp at MillersvilleUniversity, which offers performing and visualarts opportunities for elementary and middle-school students.

    Good deeds nevergo out of season

    LAURA KNOWLESLNP CORRESPONDENT

    On a snowy afternoon in lateJanuary, Ruth Landis of Lan-caster heard the sound of some-one shoveling her driveway.

     When she looked outside tosee who it was, she was pleas-antly surprised. The 12-year-oldboy across the street was busilyclearing snow from the drive-way and sidewalk in front of her

    townhouse.Landis was even more sur-

    prised when the boy refused toaccept payment for his services.He told her that he wanted to bea good neighbor. His hard workwas a gift.

    “You don’t see many youngpeople who do work for free,

     just to be helpful,” says Landis.“I thought it was just wonder-ful.”

     While young people can start jobs typically when they are 16,there are plenty of opportuni-ties for volunteer work beforethey are able to take on a paying 

     job. Some of these opportunitiescan be impromptu acts of kind-ness, like the boy who shoveledthe older woman’s driveway.

    Young people can be encour-aged to do volunteering in theirown neighborhoods, with proj-ects like cleaning up the localpark after the winter, or plant-ing flowers and trees. They canhelp older neighbors with weed-ing gardens, mowing lawns andtaking the dogs for walks.

    Often young people can gainwork experience while doing

     volunteer work, and it’s notalways about earning money.Doing volunteer work teacheskids about caring for others andhelping out ... just because.

     At Ephrata Manor, there are volunteers as young as 6 months— yes, six months — who bright-en the days of residents there.

    “We have some mothers who volunteer at Ephrata Manor,and they bring their babies to

     visit with residents. The resi-dents love it when the littleones come to visit,” says MariaShedleski, who coordinates vol-unteers and plans activities atEphrata Manor.

    Young children who volunteerwith their parents don’t haveto do much, except smile. Theresidents are delighted to haveyoungsters come to visit. Some

    of those younger children rangein age from babies to 12 yearsold. By the time they are around13 or 14, they can volunteer ontheir own.

    “Our young teen volunteerscome and talk to residents, playcheckers with them, help themplay bingo, things like that,”says Shedleski. “It is wonder-ful for the residents and a greatexperience for the teens, wholearn to give to others.”

     At Luther Acres in Lititz,

    Volunteer opportunities abound for kids of all ages

    LAURA KNOWLES

    Teens, especially

    those interestedin early child-

    hood education,can volunteer towork with young

    children.

    there are young volunteerswho join their parents in visit-ing residents. Parents can con-

    tact area retirement homes tofind out if there are volunteeropportunities available. Oftenthere will be residents whohave no nearby family mem-bers to visit them.

    Teens who are 14 and oldercan check at retirement homesfor volunteer opportunities.They might take residents for awalk in the garden or help themdownload an app to their iPads.Teens who enjoy singing orplaying a musical instrument

    can offer to do a mini-concert.“Residents just love music,

    and we have had teens whocome and play the violin or the

    piano for our residents,” saysShedleski.

    Teens can also volunteerwith younger children. At theHands-On House in Lancaster,teens as young as eighth gradecan volunteer with the littleones, helping them enjoy theplease-touch exhibits, straight-ening up after the children tearthe place apart and even offer-ing suggestions on how to makethe exhibits more fun.

    “Little children really look up

    to the older teens. It’s a greatexperience for both of them,”says volunteer coordinator Kai-tlin LeRoy, adding that work-

    ing with children at Hands-OnHouse is excellent preparationfor teens who might want topursue a career in early child-hood education.

    Other opportunities for vol-unteering with younger chil-dren include the YMCA, ClareHouse, Crispus Attucks Com-munity Center, ElizabethtownChildcare Center, Lampeter-Strasburg Recreation Center,Lancaster Day Care Center,Lititz Community Center and

    Boy Scouts of America. At the Lancaster Science

    Factory, teens as young as 16can volunteer to guide visitors

    around the museum and keepexhibits in good condition.

     Volunteering at a museumcan be a fun experience thatteaches history, and givesyoung teens a chance to dressup in period clothing. Juniorguides at the Hans Herr Houseand Museum can volunteer forspecial events and show off anold-time craft like weaving ordyeing yarn.

    Older teens can also volun-teer, at churches, hospitals or

    community centers, and usethat experiences to give thembackground in careers suchas nursing, teaching, physical

    therapy or social work. Theycan be camp counselors orhelp with younger children andthose with disabilities.

     Volunteers for Lancaster Area Habitat for Human-ity can do construction work,landscaping, painting and yardwork. Not only are they help-ing families realize the dreamof having a home, but they cangain experience in fields theymay want to pursue in the fu-ture.

    confidence. As the children progress, they

    can play competitively in the

    Lancaster-Lebanon League orjust enjoy tennis for the fun ofit. Green always recommendsthat parents let their childrendecide what sports they want todo, and how involved they wantto be.

    “It should always be fun,” saysGreen.

    Tennis is a social game thatteaches sportsmanship andhelps a player learn how to fo-cus. It can be a major workout,as in a high-speed game with atough challenger, or it can bemore relaxed, as in a game ofmixed doubles.

    There are clinics and campsall over Lancaster County, atcommunity centers, SpookyNook Sports, the LancasterTennis & Yacht Club and publictennis clubs, Green says. Con-

    trary to what some may think,tennis isn’t just for the countryclub set. There are many pub-lic tennis courts at communitycenters, parks and schools.

    “The Lancaster Tennis Pa-trons can help children getstarted in tennis,” says Green,adding that there are tennisprograms that offer low-cost orfree classes for children, as wellas for young people with dis-abilities.

    Golf Golf is another lifetime sport

    that some might associate withthe country club life, but KenOrd of Overlook Golf Club begsto differ. Overlook is a publicgolf course, where children asyoung as 5 can get started onthe golf course. And they don’t

    have to be rich.“We have a great junior pro-

    gram for kids of all ages, fromaround 8 years and up,” saysOrd.

    Younger kids begin with extralarge golf balls and clubs withlarger heads. It takes a while toget comfortable with a golf club,learning how to hold it, how todrive a ball, how to chip a balland how to putt. There aremany chip-and-putt coursesthroughout the county for be-ginners. Miniature golf helps to

    Continued from6

    polish their putting skills. Driv-ing ranges help them learn todrive the ball.

    “I think kids just love to goto the driving range and hit abasket of balls,” says Ord. “Itteaches discipline and hand-eyecoordination.”

    Thanks to younger profes-sional golfers — like Ricky Fowl-er — more and more young peo-ple are seeing golf as cool. Theymight have seen it as a sport forolder people, but now it’s fun forall ages.

     As Ord notes, “ We have kids

    as young as 5 learning golf, andthey can play until they are in

    their 90s. Now that’s a lifetimesport.”
