February 14, 2012 Summer Camps

SEE SUMMER CAMP AD ON PAGE 4.

Arts, Culture & Theater

How to read this guide I sat down to compile Current's 2012 Summer Camp Guide brimming with my own fond camp memories. My parents sent me to a rather eclectic selection: Respect for Law Camp, where we learned about law enforcement and did push-ups; church camp, where I learned to rock climb and did push-ups; LEGO Robotics camp, where we constructd elaborate animatronic scenes of legos and laughed at all the push-ups the other campers around us were doing.

After several hours, and depleting all nearby sources of caffeine, I realized that, despite the size of my own selection of camps as a kid, today's prospective campers' options have bloomed exponentially.

And so, what you have in your hands is an appetizer, of sorts – a taste of what's available, and a guide of where to look for more. Each listing will be followed by a site offering more information and a plethora of other camps to choose from. Our complete listing of camps will also be available online at www.youarecurrent.com and through each of our community newspapers' Web sites. If you don't see your camp listed here, let us know and we'll add you to our list.

And, as always, thanks for reading.

Summer in a Boy Scout's life

By Robert Herrington From a first year Scout fresh from Webelos to an 18-year-old Eagle Scout, when I was younger, summers revolved around Boy Scout Camp. I can remember the jitters of being a first time camper – getting lost on trails, living off the candy at the trading post since the camp food was inedible and the eventual bout of home sickness. But as I matured and grew older, so did my confidence. That’s the great thing about camp experiences – meeting new people, learning new skills and gaining new experiences. What I remember most is my growth. I might have been shy that first year, but I soon opened up and met a lot of good people. I went from asking older Scouts

2012 SUMMER DAY CAMPS

for help to dispensing advice. Success was transformed from the number of merit badges I earned to watching younger Scouts achieve theirs because of my assistance. Some skills I learned will stay with me forever; others probably didn’t last longer than the stay at camp (like basket weaving). But I’ll always remember the camp bonfires, friendships, silly songs and of course, the s’mores.

Conner Prairie offers 200 acres of outdoor inspiration.

Give the kids an exciting week of adventure, fun, creativity and new friendships!
