It’s also the home of Raptor 00 Reef, a climate-controlled 25,000 square foot indoor water park that features a variety of slides and a wave pool. Its newest slide, The Constrictor, has been featured on The Travel Channel as one of the most extreme slides in the U.S. Marketing Director Jennifer Ross said Triple Play offers great rates for groups of 15 or more, which can include any of the attractions, access to Raptor Reef, game tokens, food and drinks, or any combination.

“Sometimes we even get people from the different camps or summer programs that come in at the last minute if their planned activity for that day is rained out,” she said. “We prefer 48-hour notice but if we have room we can get anyone in.”

Triple Play is also adjacent to the Hayden Holiday Inn Express, and offers a variety of play and stay packages that include breakfast and access to Triple Play. www.3play.com or (208) 762-PLAY. • Silverwood Theme Park: The Northwest’s largest theme park is the perfect place for kids, families, parents, teachers or youth leaders.

Story courtesy ourtesy American Camp Association

A study by Indiana University and Ohio State researchers found that children gain more weight over the summer than during the school year. A child’s summer camp experience can provide the structure

and activity needed to keep kids healthy year-round.

Ohio State University sociology professor and lead author of the study Paul von Hippel said, “Our general finding–that kids do uctured better in a structured environment with rcise and scheduled exercise limited opportunities to eat—is consistent with the idea that camp can help restrain summer weight gain.”

The American Camp Association past president Ann Sheets agrees, stating that it is more important than ever for our youth to be physically active when they are not in school.

body-mass indexes of 5 380 ki d t 5,380 kindergartners and first-graders. The university sociologists discovered that the children’s BMIs increased on average more than twice as much during summer break compared with the school year. Once kids were back in school, however, the monthly growth rate of their BMIs fell, the researchers found.

“The camp environment is supportive of healthy lifestyles,” Sheets said.

“Camp includes lots of physical activity, good nutritional choices, and a set sleep schedule, all of which play a role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and preventing childhood obesity.”

According to research conducted

by ACA, 63 percent of children who learn new activities at camp tend to continue engaging in these activities after they return home. “These findings suggest that camp could actually help children become more active, and therefore healthier,” Sheets said.

For the study, researchers studied the growth rates of the

Camps, because they are rooted in experiential learning,

provide opportunities for children to exercise and stay physically fit that are not available in school—and are certainly not available watching TV or playing video games, according to Sheets.

Brian Powell, a coauthor of the study and sociology professor at Indiana University, said, “Our study indicates that children’s BMI gain is much greater during the summer than during the school year, so if we are concerned about children’s health, we must find ways to enable children to participate in the types of activities in the summer that promote good health.”

Sports Camp Trends By th B the A American i Camp Association C

For children who have a passion for sports, specialty camp experiences with a sports focus can offer a variety of benefits. Regardless of a camp’s specialty area, it is the nature of camp to help children develop into caring, resilient, compassionate, independent people. But especially at sports camp, p campers enjoy the community and friendships of peers and role models with similar interests. They are also able to concentrate on, and gain confidence in, the sport they love!

Ten percent of ACA-accredited camps offer a targeted sports focus.

By comparison, in 2004, only three percent of ACA camps offered a p targeted sport focus. That’s more than a threefold increase in ten years.

You can even find sports at special needs camps, where the activities are geared to campers’ abilities.

The diversity of camps today reflects the diversity of America – there is a camp for every ability level and interest, from horseback riding to soccer, race car driving to softball.

According to ACA’s most recent Sites, Facilities, and Programs Report, ninety-eight percent of responding ACA camps reported offering at least one sport even, if sports were not a targeted focus. The top five sports activities offered are recreational swimming (87 percent), aquatic activities (76 percent), basketball (72 percent), archery (71 percent), and camping skills (67 percent).

Unique offerings include fencing, lacrosse, SCUBA diving, windsurfing, and more.

You and your child can search for the perfect camp experience on ACA’s Find a Camp database (http:// find.acacamps.org). This resource allows families to search for camp programs based on location, price, session length, and more – including whether the camp focuses on just one sports activity or multiple activities.

When searching for multiple-activity

camps, families can also search by intensity level – recreational, instructional, or intense/competitive. Camps are able to serve campers who are just looking to try a new sport, campers who are looking for serious skill building, and everyone in-between! Begin searching early. Camps begin taking registrations well before the “camp season” begins.

Beyond the activities offered at a camp, it is also crucial to consider a camp’s philosophy. ACA encourages parents to ask camp representatives if the camp is ACA-accredited. If not, ask why. ACA-accredited camps meet up to 280 health and safety standards and are a parent’s best evidence that the camp is committed to the safety and well-being of their child. A few other tips for learning more about the camp’s philosophy include: Ask “What is the camp’s philosophy and program emphasis?”

Ask “How does the camp handle homesickness and other adjustment issues?”

Visit the camp if possible to see practices first-hand.

Ask for references.

Quality sports camp experiences will not only improve a camper’s skills or allow them to explore a new interest, they will nourish a child’s social and emotional development as well. Camp experiences help children gain skills they’ll use for a lifetime – both on and off the field!

Specialty, sports camps growing in popularity million children, youth, and ad adults attend camp. Today we see a wide range of ages partic participating in the camp experience: from children as youn as three young part participating in day cam programs camp to ssenior adults, par participating in fam family camps and sen senior camps. The AC has a vision ACA th by the year that 20 2020, over 20 m million children a and youth will h have a camp e experience each year.

Camp has been an American tradition for more than 150 years. Some things at camp – forming friendships, having fun, practicing new skills, and summer learning gains – will never change. But what are the camp trends today?

Who goes to camp?

The American Camp Association estimates that there are 12,000 traditional, organized camps in the U.S. Each year more than 11.5

What types of camps are most popular?

Traditional camps are still very popular – maybe more popular today than even a decade ago, as young people are very concerned about the environment, global awareness, mentorship, and getting along with one another. The camp community embraces those values.

There has also been a rise in the popularity of specialty camps, day camps, and family camps, as camps constantly adapt to meet changing needs of families. Many

yo young people like to use the camp experience to sharpen a special skill or develop new ones. Even traditional camps are offering year-round camp experiences, as well as any number of specialty programs. This exciting diversification is an example of how the camp community is meeting the needs of today’s families.

What activities are popular?

The most popular activities at camps today are swimming, arts/ crafts, challenge/ropes course, archery, and aquatic activities. In addition, ACA research shows 52 percent of day camps and 50 percent of resident camps offered one or more academic/science and technology programs. More than four in five ACA-accredited residential camps offer at least one environmental education program for campers.

Whatever the activity, camp gets kids moving! While at camp, e campers are typically active three to five hours per day. nded This exceeds the recommended daily amount of physical activity from the CDC (one hour per day).

With so many options, how do I find the right camp?

There is a camp for every y child, every interest, and n every budget! The American Camp Association’s Find a Camp database helps

families find the perfect camp experience – whether it’s a traditional, day, specialty, family, or even trip or travel camp. Visit CampParents.org to start your search, and be sure to check out the expert advice, packing tips, and more.

The American Camp Association® (ACA) works to preserve, promote, and enhance the camp experience for children and adults. ACA-Accredited® camp programs ensure that children are provided with a diversity of educational and developmentally challenging learning opportunities.

There are over 2,400 ACA-accredited camps that meet up to 300 health and safety standards. For more information, visit www.CampParents.org.

Navigating Summer Camp Options

By Nicole Skinner, Marketing Correspondent

The right fit can create a happy camper for life Whether your child is a summer camp newbie or a seasoned veteran, choosing the right summer camp is a big decision.

Camp can be a child’s ticket to a break from parents, a chance to forge new friendships and make lifelong memories.

Should you pick the wrong camp, your child may never want to go to camp again. This means possible missed opportunities for friendships, independence, useful skills and poor memories.

To help keep your summer camper in camper’s paradise, these tips can help you navigate the many summer camp options.

WHAT TYPE OF CAMP IS BEST? There are different kinds of camps you can choose from. Selecting the right type of camp will help narrow down your choices based on what will work for your family and your child.

Resident Camp Traditional summer camp is also known as resident camp, where your child actually stays overnight. This may be your child’s first extended experience away from home and family. Most resident camps have programs for early elementary schoolage and up. Some camps are co-ed and others single gender; it depends on the camp program and session.

Day Camp Day camps offer many of the same experiences and adventures of resident camps but your child returns home each evening. This type of camp is perfect for campers that just aren’t ready to sleep away from home.

Parents need to make daily transportation arrangements, and sometimes take care of meals.

Working parents may need to consider extended care choices if camp ends before their work day.

Sarah Betts, camp manager for Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho Camp Four Echoes, said parents trying to decide between resident and day camps should look at the child’s independence.

“Consider whether they have successfully spent the night away ay from family to determine whether day or overnight camp would be a good fit. Other areas to explore are the child’s interests and type of activities they enjoy doing,” she said. “I greatly encourage families to visit the camp they are considering and meet the staff during an open house.”

Along with choosing the type of camp, also consider the session length. Will your child be comfortable with a camp that lasts a majority of the summer? Or would they (or you!) prefer the separation only last a week or two? Make sure to compare your child’s level of interest and the session length to ensure they are a good match.

this seemed like the perfect l ti ” she h said. id solution,” The family loves the camp so much that even though they moved out of the area, they are still hoping to send their daughter back this summer.

In addition to the traditional summer camp, some of the themed or special interest camps include:

Academic Camp Does your child love science, math or writing? Some camps focus on boosting these skills, almost like an extra session of school, but in a summer setting.

This will give plenty of practice and skill building for budding athletes and hopefully improve abilities and confidence next season.

Religious Camp Want to be sure your camp incorporates your faith and values along with the traditional summer camp experience? Consider a religious or Vacation Bible Study camp that blends religious instruction.

Art Camp What interests my child?

There are camps today for just about any hobby or interest.

Kristy Ford, formerly of Coeur d’Alene, chose Camp Lutherhaven for her daughter because it combined their desire for a faith-based camp and also her daughter’s love of horses.

“Our daughter has always been into horses, but she never had much hands-on experience with them, so

Children with an artistic flair, be it fine arts or performing arts, will take inspiration from an opportunity to bond with artistic peers and develop their talents.

Sports Camps Hit a homerun with your sports-loving child by choosing a sports camp.

Special Needs Camp No child should miss out on the opportunity for a fantastic summer camp experience. Today there are more options than ever if your child would benefit from a tailored camp with specifically trained staff, activities or accommodations.

YMCA Camp Reed Director Lisa Vogt recommends that no matter what type of camp, that it be accredited by the American Camp Association. This means that a camp has undergone a thorough review of its operations – from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. The American Camp Association collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current practices reflect the most upto-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Visit the American Camp Association to search for area camps: http://find.acacamps.org.

Play detective Once you decide which type of camp is right, and focus in on any options, it’s time to ask some follow-up questions about whether it is a good fit for your child.

How far away is the camp? Is this distance comfortable for you and your child?

Is the size of the camp right for your child?

How do you stay in touch with your child during camp? Do they allow mail, phone calls or e-mails?

Is there a parent’s day?

What training does the staff receive in regards to working with kids, safety and supervision?

What happens when a child is ill or injured?

What are the emergency situation plans?

Whom do you contact if you have a question or concern while your child is at camp?

Does your child have any special dietary or physical needs the camp needs to be able to accommodate?

What is the daily schedule like – are campers in a group with a counselor all day or is the schedule less structured?

Is there an open house prior to camp where you can meet staff, tour the camp and talk with other parents?

19

Do you know anyone that has sent their child to the same camp? What was their experience?

Check out the camp on social media – search and see what other people have said.

If you’re fairly certain you’ve found the right camp, as a final step you can even ask the camp director for references.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS Cost While sending your child to the camp of their (and your) dreams is ideal – it shouldn’t break the bank.

Some camps offer payment plans to make tuition more affordable, and others offer scholarships to make sure all students receive the same opportunities. Find out the cost and payment details ahead of time so you’re not surprised at the last minute.

Child Involvement Include your child in the decisionmaking process. After you’ve done your initial checking and are comfortable with a camp or have a few camp options, explore them with your child. Visit the camp website.

Check out photos, virtual tours, view sample daily schedules and menus with your child so they can be part of the final decision. This sets your child up for a better camp experience and can reduce anxiety if camp is a new experience for him or her.

Ultimately, parents and children need to feel comfortable with the camp they choose, and confident that it is the perfect fit not only for the summer but also for making a lifetime of memories.

“It’s summer. Camps should be fun and engaging for your child; a place where they can be themselves and meet new friends,” said Shari Lutgen of Riverday School in Spokane, which offers several day camp options.

In reality, camp is more than just something for the summer. It’s about making forever friends, developing traditions and building on newly learned skills.
