Summer camp

The ultimate 21st-century skills learning environment

By Andy Pritikin Photos courtesy of Liberty Lake Day Camp t used to be so easy. Mom was home, and kids wanted to play outside, as we only had seven channels on the television (and no central air). Boy, how times have changed. Technological advances have profoundly affected life as we know it, including how we raise our children.

Most families rely on two sources for child rearing: 1) What we as parents teach our children at home, and 2) what educators teach our children in school.

But there is a third, very important arena that many parents do not consider: What is taught to our children when we, the parents, aren’t with them, when they are away from us and away from school? This is when they are actually most able and willing to learn.

This is where the summer camp experience comes into play!

Problem: Too much technology consumption

Technology is a drug, and we parents are the drug pushers.

While parents recognize the inherent issues, the majority of American families do not institute (or uphold) rules to govern their children’s technology consumption. It’s right in front of our eyes — the 2-year-old scrolling through Mom’s iPhone, kids who can’t ride in a car for more than 2 minutes without a movie playing or a handheld electronic device, and older children addicted to violent video games.

Most parents give their children these technological gadgets thinking that it relaxes them, when in fact they are being greatly stimulated, suppressing their capability to control their emotions (self-regulate). Today’s children are less able to cope with challenging situations, as most lack resiliency and patience.

Kindergarten teachers tell us how their students are no longer able to build large-scale projects, as they get frustrated and quit.

Parents can’t figure out how to mitigate technology consumption.

They often choose to avoid negative interactions since they have so little time with their children to begin with. But when summer comes around and school obligations end, the opportunity is out there for a digital detox in the sun, dirt and sweat of summer camp centraljersey.com/camps

— the place where kids give up their phones, tablets, vide games, TVs, and computers, and actually thank you for it.

In an unplugged environment, camp helps children develop emotional self-control, allowing them to find connections within themselves- a vital part of growing up. Camp also provides a unique environment for kids to learn how to share, co-create and collaborate with one another, developing friendship skills along the way.

Problem: 21st century skills are not taught in school

“21st Century Skills” are defined as the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to be competitive in the modern day workforce. The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (p21.org) is a non-profit organization comprised of some of the biggest, most successful businesses in the USA. p21researched and compiled a list of the specific skills that these companies seek in new hires. The answers were not the “3 R’s” which our schools focus on, but “the 3 C’s”: 1. Critical thinking and problem solving 2. Creativity and innovation 3. Communication and collaboration They also listed the following life skills as most important for their new employees: • Flexibility and adaptability • Initiative and self direction • Social and cross-cultural skills • Productivity and accountability • Leadership and responsibility It used to be so easy. Mom was home, and kids wanted to play outside, as we only had seven channels on the television (and no

central air). Boy, how times have changed.

Tech-nological advances have profoundly affected life as we know it, including how we raise our children.

Most families rely on two sources for child rearing: 1) What we as parents teach our children at home, and 2) what educators teach our children in school.

But there is a third, very important arena that many parents do not consider: What is taught to our children when we, the parents, aren’t with them, when they are away from us and away from school? This is when they are actually most able and willing to learn.

This is where the summer camp experience comes into play!

Solution: Children’s Summer Camp

Below is a typical Camp experience, acknowledging 21st Century Life Skills: • Parents sign up their children for Summer Camp, children anticipate it for the upcoming months, having dinner conversations, keeping their emotions in check, and imagining what it will be like (self-control, emotional control, self-distraction).

• Children take the bus or get dropped off at camp, breaking free of their

parents and embarking on exciting new experiences (independence, initiative, courage, optimism).

• Children become part of a group/ bunk at camp, sharing responsibilities and working together, all while being a good person.(teamwork, responsibility, accountability, integrity).

• Children participate in activities throughout their day, including swimming, athletics, arts and adventure.

They try new things, listen to the staff members, and push themselves and their peers to new heights (aspiration, curiosity, respect, leadership).

• Children experience the ups and downs of making and keeping friendships (integrity, communication, adaptability, patience).

Camp is the ultimate “depth of knowledge” environment for teaching 21st-century life skills. We see it every day in the growth of our campers (and staff), and more and more camps are doing the research to actually prove it.

At Liberty Lake, we survey campers during their final week of camp with us, and ask them questions based on the growth of the life skills we focus on. When asked last summer how their teamwork skills changed at Camp, 63.3

percent said they were sure they increased some, and 33 percent said they were sure they increased a lot. That’s a 96 percent reported increase.

We also surveyed parents, and 81 percent reported seeing an increase in their children’s Teamwork skills at home, in regards to an improvement in interpersonal skills, ability to effectively communicate, cooperation, collaboration, leadership, and supporting/helping others.

The results were similarly positive for the other character skills measured.

Like a life-skills multi-vitamin, summer camp is a supplement for modern society.

In a world where parents battle for their children’s attention from video screens, and school teachers focus on teaching for the tests, summer camp provides a wonderfully unique environment for learning the skills that parents and future employers yearn for our children to develop- skills of character, skills for life.

Notes on paper or via email are part of the classic camp experience

By Keith Loria lthough most children who have spent time away at camp might not associate with the Grammy-winning novelty song, “Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh (A Letter from Camp),” which is basically a long complaint of camp life from a young boy, many kids probably have experienced writing a letter home. After all, it’s one of the time-honored traditions of being away: easing your parents’ minds with a letter of all the fun you’re having.

Dr. Kenneth Shore, a Princeton-based psychologist with more than 30 years of experience working with children and families, says we live in a time of high parent anxiety and the anxiety level of parents of campers often parallels or even exceeds that of their children.

“We often think of kids having trouble adjusting to going to camp and being away from home. But sometimes it works in reverse: some parents may have trouble adjusting to their child being away,” he says. “When this happens, mail becomes an important way for parents to remain connected to their children and being reassured that they are settling in to the camp routine.”

This is especially true if this is the first time their children are going to overnight camp. Parents are often on pins and needles waiting to receive that first letter letting them know that they are doing okay.

While campers at day camps rarely write letters to their parents, it’s a big deal at overnight camps.

Dr. Shore says that for the camper, getting a letter or email from home is really important, especially those who are away for the first time.

“While the nature of camper communications has changed, what has not changed is that kids continue to love getting mail,” he says. “They are eager to be reassured that you are thinking about them and are interested in news from home. You might even send a letter to them a couple of days before they leave so they have a letter waiting for them when they arrive at camp.”

Parents will certainly want to share news from the home front, but Dr. Shore advises that they should avoid belaboring the point about how much they miss the kids and avoid talking about family activities they have missed that may be upsetting to them. centraljersey.com/camps

“Doing that may contribute to homesickness,” he says. “Bring them up to date on small details of family life but keep the tone cheerful and upbeat and make sure to ask about camp activities, and comment about them in a positive manner.”

Of course, the process of which kids and their parents communicate has changed with technology. Parents typically have the opportunity to write emails to their children, which are either printed and given to their children or which can be read on a computer. This allows children to get mail without having to wait a few days.

Justin Lavner, owner of Lavner Camps in Merion Station, Pennsylvania, says at its Tech Revolution overnight camp, they allow campers to email one letter home per week.

“We do feel it is important to give campers the opportunity to communicate with their families in a way that gives them a line of communication, but does not distract them from truly embracing their camp experience,” he says. “It is important for campers to feel they have a line of communication with their families, and important for the families to receive updates and know their child is doing well at camp.”

Mr. Lavner adds that it’s also a great way for campers to fill their families in on weekly achievements and highlights about camp, and include the simple yet powerful “I Love You” message that sometimes come out more readily in writing.

Most camps have taken advantage of the available technology to make

communication between campers and parents easier and quicker. They often update their websites during the camping season so that parents can often see pictures of their children online or even read quotes from them.

“One of the goals of the camp experience is to help children become more independent and resourceful. To help accomplish this, camps discourage children from contacting parents whenever they are frustrated, upset or have a problem,” Dr. Shore says. “Having children be able to text their parents at any time runs counter to this goal and gets in the way of children learning to resolve problems without parent intervention. Allowing campers to email their parents is less of a problem in this way but if it leads to children spending excessive time on the computer at the expense of new or interesting camp activities then it may be better to encourage them to write letters.”

By Jess Michaels ummer camp provides children with an amazing summer experience, making it difficult to narrow down the reasons why camp is just so great. Here is a list of 10 awesome things about summer camp. I’m sure after one summer at camp, your child will be able to come up with dozens of more ways that the camp experience is just so great!

1. Campers gain skills in a range of activities: Whether your child goes to day or sleepaway camp, he or she will participate in a variety of activities including swimming, waterskiing, tennis, boating, ropes course and so much more. Your child will try new activities that he or she may never have had a chance to try.

2. Children gain life skills needed to be a successful adult: The skills needed to be a successful leader in the 21st century include communication, creativity, leadership, responsibility and collaboration — skills incorporated into many summer camp programs. At camp, children develop these skills so that they can become contributing, successful adults.

3. Children build self-esteem: This happens easily at camp.

Children acquire new skills at camp and they watch themselves improve each day throughout the summer. It also happens by being part of a summer camp community that is supportive and encouraging.

4. Unplug from technology: According to a Kaiser Family Foundation survey of young people, children spend 7.5 hours a day engaged with electronic media including cell phones, computers, TV and video games. Instead of engaging in human interactions, children are staring at screens throughout the year.

The majority of summer camps have a no-technology rule that allows children to take a much-needed break from media, and focus on building relationships and participating in activities 5. Self-reliance: Today’s children are in constant contact with their parents through texts and cell phone calls. Camp gives children a healthy separation from their parents, allowing them to make decisions on their own, which fosters confidence and independence.

6. Traditions: Many camps celebrate special traditions and rituals each summer. Children partake in these rituals such as color war, candles on the lake and singing songs. These activities

connect children to the generation of campers who came before them and to the history of the camp.

7. Children can reinvent themselves: At home, children have gone to school with the same children for years and children may be labeled as the shy or the athletic child. Camp allows kids to re-invent themselves.

8. Camp is fun: At camp, children are allowed to play in a safe and nurturing environment, and are allowed to just be kids.

Play is a powerful form of learning that contributes mightily to the child’s healthy physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. According to an American Academy of Pediatrics report, creative free play protects a child’s emotional development and reduces the risk of stress, anxiety, and depression.

9. Live communally: Sleepaway camps give children a chance to live communally, which teaches them to respect others, work as a team and communicate with each other.

10. Meet new people: Camp fosters deep friendships and allows children to meet children from different communities as well as from around the world. Children also have the opportunity to relate to people of all ages at camp.
