the stay-at-home parent, but whether itwas inertia or chronic lack of creativity,

summers at home with the kids tended

to consist of them being bored and me

counting the days until school starts. at, or I had

to shell out for pricey camps. en I got called out of

town unexpectedly, and my husband took time o

work to stay home with the kids.

Hows it going, honey? I asked when I called

home aer the rst day. I had some trepidation. He

wasnt used to this, aer all.

Great! he said. He had a system all sorted out,

and it kept him and the kids happy the rest of the

time I was gone. I wasnt sure whether to be relieved

or annoyed.

e system was remarkably simple: one fun thing

a day: something to look forward to, something to

get everyone out of the house, something inexpen-

sive, something to wear the kids out. He planned

their activity around the weather and bookended it

with rest time and chores.

I decided to adopt this program when I returned,

but was worried that Santa Fe wouldnt have enough

excursions to ll a summer. I was wrong. Even on

you get past the obvious the Santa Fe ChildrenMuseum, Quiggys, the Bicentennial Pool ther

are so many nooks and crannies to explore. Many

activities are free.

Some outings are best done during the heat of

the day: the three I already listed are among those

because they involve water or air conditioning.

Hikes near the ski basin are also good for the earl

aernoon time slot; the high elevation means coo

breezes. (Pack your sunscreen and water, though.

One of our favorites is Big Tesuque Creek. Its one

of the last hikes before the ski areas parking lot, a

Now that its partly indoors in the summer, the

Santa Fe Farmers Market can be enjoyed even in

the middle of the day. My children love ambling

garden on Bishops Lodge Road in Tesuque. e

funky bronze sculptures scattered around the grassy

grounds are fascinating to explore, though parents

should be aware that some of them are of unclothed

and anatomically correct human gures. On certain

days, you can watch molten bronze being poured.

e art gallery appeals to older kids.

Museum Hill provides many days worth of One

Fun ing. is cluster of culture on Camino Lejo

is home to the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art,

Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, Museum

of International Folk Art and the Wheelwright

Museum of the American Indian. e Folk Art

museum is my kids favorite, but the Indian Arts

and Culture museum also hosts many kid-centered

activities.

For mellow days, check out one of the many ven-

ues oering free story times for children. Borders

Books, several branches of the public libraries and

the Wheelwright Museum host story hours. Story-

teller Joe Hayes is one of Santa Fes Living Treasures.

I still vividly remember him coming to tell stories

at my own elementary school. Dont miss his sunset

story times at the Wheelwright.

Other activities are best done as early as possible,

such as El Rancho de las Golondrinas, the living

history museum near La Cienega, just south of

Santa Fe. It can be a good 10 degrees hotter there,

and we oen wilt unless we go right at opening

time. Santa Fes two skateboard parks are fun for

older kids, but bear in mind the concrete reects

the heat.

Playgrounds and lower-elevation hikes are also best

done in the morning. My kids top playground picks

are the Salvador Perez Park (AKA Train Park) on Alta

Vista Street, Franklin E. Miles Park on Camino Carlos

Rey, and Bicentennial Park on Alto Street.

For hikes, try the short loop at the Randall Davey

Audubon Center (983-4609) on Upper Canyon Road.

Two-Mile Dam is my favorite family hike, as close to

a duck pond as Santa Fe gets. e easy 1.5-mile loop

winds around whats le of the dam; now a pretty

little pond surrounded with fuzzy cattails. Dont

miss Tent Rocks, where kids will be amazed by giant

cones of volcanic rock. Take Interstate 25 south to

the Cochiti Pueblo exit; drive west until you reach

N.M. 22; follow that road to Forest Road 266 (about

40 miles from Santa Fe).

ids hankering for something dierent?

Santa Fe has much to oer, but everyone

needs a change of pace once in a while.

When the family just needs to get out of

town for a bit, Albuquerque is just a short

drive away and oers plenty of kid-friendly activi-

ties. Here are some of our familys favorites.

A ride up Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway is a must.

e tramline stretches over several miles, from

the foothills of the Sandia mountains to the crest,

a rise of nearly 4,000 feet. e ascent is dramatic,

with views you cant get anywhere else. 40 Tramway

Road. 505-242-9052. Roundtrip fares: Adults: $20.

Teens: $17. Children: $12. Children under 5: Free.

Hours: 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily. www.sandiapeak.com

From the tram, consider hiking 1.5 miles along

the crest trail to the stone Kiwanis cabin, built in

the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. is

gentle hike is appropriate for kids, but bear in mind

that its at 10,000 feet elevation. Visitors, especially

from lower elevations, might tire easily. Pack plenty

of water and sunscreen. If youre up for a scramble,

you can eat a picnic lunch on top of t he stone cabin.

Look around the cabin for the hollowed-out pion

tree: my kids like squeezing inside.

Weve been to childrens museums all over the

country and Explora! Childrens Museum is one of

our favorites. Kids can be captivated for an hour just

by the leaping water exhibit near the entrance.

Children of all ages will nd plenty to keep their

hands busy and their brains thinking. 1701 Moun-

tain Road NW. 505-224-8300. Adults: $7. Children

under 12: $3. www.explora.us

At the New Mexico Museum of Natural History

& Science, kids can admire giant dinosaurs, walk

through a volcano, and take the Evolator (evolution

elevator) through 38 million years of New Mexicos

geologic and evolutionary history. e museum

ew exhibits, new programs, new space

and newly renovated exhibits are bound

to make the Santa Fe Childrens Museum

an exciting destination this summer. e

changes should open a whole new world

of exploration for children and youths.

Visitors have enjoyed watching construction of

a 3,500-square-foot expansion through a window

in the wall of the museum. But new exhibits have

been kept under wraps. ese will be revealed at the

Grand Opening, scheduled for May 7 if construc-

tion goes as scheduled. Opening events continue

throughout the month of May.

Several existing exhibits are undergoing transfor-mations. e magnet table is being replaced with an

icosahedron a structure composed of 20 equi-

lateral triangles that can be recongured in various

ways so children can experiment with magnets

in a three-dimensional space. Sculptor Caleb Lee

Bowman and electromagnetic scientist Neal Tapia

both volunteers designed the exhibit. We

want to move away from the model of children step-

ping up to a table to do something and instead let

them step into an experience, said Executive Direc-

tor Anna Marie Tutera Manriquez. Bowman is also

applying his artistic skills to create more dynamic

Waterworks and Bubble exhibits.

A dramatic play area where children can stage

performances or puppet shows already is completed,and the museum is developing programming on

creating narratives. A summer camp called Mon-

sters, Fairies and Wizards where 4- to 5-year-olds

explore dramatic play and storytelling utilizes the

new stage.

Changes to Earthworks, the outdoor exhibit space,

might have the most appeal during the summer

months. An existing climbing tower is being

quadrupled in size into a massive climbing struc-

ture, which Environmental Educator Melanie Beck

described as a huge, giant fort up in the air. A new

bridge, shaped like a boat, also doubles as a climbing

structure. e Youth Conservation Corps is spon-

soring employment opportunities for people 15 to

25 years old to help construct these and assist with

other projects.

e corps is also helping to create a community

garden, where children can learn sustainable gar-

dening skills. One of the summer camps, Cooking

from the Garden, shows children how to use garden

produce to create meals. A camp for 4- to 5-year-olds has had remarkable success getting kids to try

vegetables picked in the museums garden, such as

bok choy and tomatillos.

e Native Plant Society of New Mexico is part-

nering with the museum to do more xeriscaping and

teach children about native plants, another project

implemented with help from the Youth Conserva-

tion Corps. And anyone is welcome to learn tree

identication with Arborist Richard Atkinson of

Southwest Trees & Landscape, Inc.

As always, the museums week long summer camps

provide creative learning opportunities. Several of

these like a physics and science camp for 6- to

8-year-olds directly incorporate the new exhibits.

A design and construction camp for kids 9 to 11utilizes an exhibit prototyping space in the new wing.

e museum is partnering with the Jane Goodall

Institutes Roots & Shoots program for a summer

camp called Connecting with Nature. Activities

include taking care of the earth and recycling. e

Roots & Shoots curriculum is also featured once a

month on Science Sundays, beginning in May.

Other summer camps include art camps, To

the Edge of the Universe (new this year through

partnership with the New Mexico Museum of Sp

History), a camp on dinosaurs called Digs and D

coveries and Crawling and Collecting with Sa

Fe entomologist Ollie Greer. Greers exhibit of 2,

bug specimens is on display this summer.

e museum opens at 9 a.m. every Friday for P

school Prime Time, a mom and tots program. Ev

weekend has special programming, with activitie

like music classes with Lori Sunshine on Saturda

and Sunday Science. e annual Summer Solstic

celebration is especially popular.

e museum is closed from April 18 through M6 to complete renovations and install exhibits. G

oing o to sleepaway camp is oen a

childs rst big adventure as an individual

living away from home. Parents can have

questions, however, about when to send

their children to camp for a week or two

of fun and learning in the summer.

Overnight camps are typically for children ages 8

to 14, although some camps have programs for high

school students as well. With younger children, it

might be best to rst start with a shorter duration

camp a few days to one week away from home

before enrolling in a two-week camp.

While every child is dierent, we have found that

children 10-12 years old are about perfect for their

rst extended sleepaway experience, said Jordan

Stone, assistant director for Cottonwood Gulch

Expeditions, which oers exciting, relatively long

archaeological and anthropological expeditions into

remote wilderness areas, with 16 days being the

shortest in duration.

is age range usually provides a good introduc-

tion to what its like to live away from home (and

away from electronics) for a couple weeks, Stone

said. Her best advice for children who get homesick:

Stick it out. Everyone gets homesick, and some

handle it better than others, but unless there are ex-

tenuating circumstances, children will be better o in

the long run if they stick through some tough times.

Bishop Stoney Camp (also known as Camp

Stoney) oers a four-day Family Camp, where

parents accompany their children overnight. In

addition, the Christian-based camp oers a variety

of week-long overnight camps for children grades

three to 12 in the areas of outdoor adventure, arts

and cras, in addition to camps inspired by popular

childrens lms.

Beryl Zimmerman, directors assistant for Camp

Stoney, recommends that children be at least 8 years

of age before enrolling in an overnight camp. ey

are less likely to experience homesickness at this

age, she said. Zimmerman also recommends that

children know exactly when they will be dropped

o, and more importantly, what time they will be

picked up from camp. It is also useful, she said,

when parents write cards or notes to their children

and either start mailing them the week before or

hand them to the oce administrator or camp

director to be doled out during the week. Children

and older youth also might want to bring comfort

items, such as a favorite pillow, blanket, or stued

animal to keep on their beds.

And because a childs rst sleepaway camp experi-

ence can be stressful for parents as well, Zimmer-

man says it is best if the child is not be exposed to

their parents anxiety, as it will infect the child as

well. e camp asks that parents do not call the

camp to check up on their child. If a child becomes

terribly homesick, camp administrators will talk

with the child privately and ask what they can do

help them get through the next few days. ey m

also call parents to ask for advice.

Its usually during the quiet periods that child

remember to be homesick, Zimmerman said. If

they are kept busy, they dont have time to think

about it.

All camps provide packing lists, and it works o

best when parents and children pack their clothe

and supplies together so that children feel preparby knowing what they are bringing and where to

nd their things. Most importantly, dont forget t

bug spray, sunblock, lots of socks and an extra pa

of shoes, since fun and adventure oen involves

water and mud and can get pretty messy.

ough some children attend overnight camp o

once or twice, many regular campers form tight c

nections with their friends and counselors and ap

to become camp counselors when they are older.

Hummingbird Music Camp, located in the Jem

mountains, is a one-week music instruction and

outdoor adventure camp for children 8 to 14, wit

the opportunity to continue to camp as a staer,

counselor in training, counselor, and head couns

in subsequent years.Miriam Gordon, camp registrar for Humming

Music Camp, knows that parents might miss thei

children but can feel better if they completely tru

the camp they are sending their children to for th

rst time. Meanwhile, kids should prepare to hav

great time and learn loads of life skills and appro

ate ways to interact socially.

Because our camp is for musicians, they shou

also expect to become quite a bit more procient

playing their instruments, Gordon said.

Because sta director Sally Chapman is a licen

clinical psychologist, she spends plenty of time

training the sta and counselors to help them de

appropriately with any problems that might occu

Hummingbirds policy is to limit contact with hoand instead, give kids plenty of activities to keep

their minds o home and on camp.

Usually by the second day of camp, if not soon

all the campers are into whats happening in the

Jemez rather that whats going on at home, Gord

said.

Hummingbirds best tip focuses more on what

NOT to bring to camp: iPods, cell phones, laptop

MP3 players, etc., as all these distractions take aw

from the camping experience.

Our campers spend their time hiking, shing

camping, playing games, creating skits, improvin

their musical skills, and generally having a great

time, Gordon said.

s there an on/o switch for learning? If so, many

parents would like to keep the switch on for

summer but nd it a daunting task.

Keeping children engaged in stimulating men-

tal activities during the summer seems easier

said than done, especially in this age of Facebook,

video games, computer games, texting, cable TV,

and general Internet surng.

Parents, be encouraged! It can be done. You can

make this summer a learning-lled adventure but

it starts with you. While you dont have to forbid

all electronic devices, there needs to be limits.

Children may gripe at rst but once involved in

more varied activities, they will not be so obsessed

with the electronic devices.

Sometimes we forget that learning is not limited to

thefour walls of a school building andthatteachersare

not theonly ones qualiedto teach.Remember, you

were your childrens rst teacher and knowthem best.

Use this knowledge to start the planning now.

ink about your childs interests and list them.

en sit down and talk about what your child enjoys

doing and learning about. ere are a plethora of

parenting books about nding your childs passion

and how important it is to his or her development.

e summer is a perfect time to focus on your

childs passions and interests.

Next, make a second list of activities and resourc-

es in your community that relate to their interests.

If you plan one activity a week that is related to your

childs interests, you will have an engaged child who

is learning!

For my family, travel has always been a sure-re

way to tie learning and fun together. We have trav-

eled throughout the United States and each summ

we ask our children to research our planned destin

tions. Yes, its a sneaky way to get them to read and

research. Once at our destination, we try to pick

out activities that will appeal to them but also have

learning opportunities.

We found that national parks are great places to

learn about a variety of topics. As families explore

the parks, there is built-in learning as children spon

taneously ask questions in these stimulating enviro

ments. Plus, there are many informative displays on

science and history. As an added bonus, the Junior

Ranger programs are both educational and fun.

If you dont have the time or resources to travel

extensively during the summer, no problem. Santa

and the surrounding area have a variety of family-

friendly activities that can promote learning. Pick u

the book, Santa Fe with Kids from A to Z, for some

quick ideas. e authors suggest many places to visit,

such as Bandelier National Monument, the Eight

Northern Pueblos, and El Rancho de las Golondrinas.

Another book, Best Easy Day Hikes Santa Fe, will

guide you as you plan hikes in the Santa Fe area. is

book is easy to read and carry with you and gives

useful information on each hiking route such as

diculty of hike and distance. If you pair this book

with a nature guide, you and your child can immerseyourselves in the beauty of the outdoors and learn

about plants, birds and trees at the same time.

And dont forget one of the more traditional but

eective ways to encourage learning is a visit to the

library. Its fun and free! In fact, the Santa Fe Public

Library oers a variety of programs in the summer

for children. One of the most popular programs is

their annual summer reading program. According

to Director of Libraries Pat Hodapp, about 1,000

children participated in the program last summer.

Parents can register June 1. Each week, they receive

a prize and aer ve weeks, they can qualify for a

drawing for a bicycle.

Hodapp emphasizes the importance of summer

reading: Reading is so key, especially since manystudies show that students who dont read during

the summer oen drop below their grade level in

reading.

For younger children, the library oers the pre-

school story time throughout the summer as well as

a cra program for kids. e cra program also en-

courages reading by tying stories and cras together.

Hodapp also recommends choosing books that

have been made into movies to motivate reluctant

readers. Two of her favorites are Charlottes Web and

Te Borrowers.

Amy Barr, a childrens librarian at the Santa Fe

Public Library, suggests parents and kids check out

kidsreads.com and teenreads.com for great book

suggestions, reviews and contests.For elementary-aged readers, Barr recommends

any book by Andrew Clements. For older elemen-

tary students and middle-schoolers, she suggests

books by Joseph Bruchac. He combines Native

American legends with contemporary stories to cre-

ate suspenseful tales. Finally, for older teen readers

with a zombie obsession, she says Rot & Ruin by

John Maberry is a good choice.

For more specic ideas for learning this summer,

parents can nd good suggestions in 365 Fun-Filled

Learning Activities by Mary Weaver. It is an excel-

lent source of inexpensive, easy-to-do activities for

children under 10.

Another book that oers great advice is Te Fieen

Minute Organizerby Emilie Barnes. Barnes advises

parents to put together a Summer Project Box. is

survival kit will help when the kids begin to feel the

boredom blues. She suggests assembling the basics:materials for arts and cras, activities and adventures.

So, dont delay. Get your pen, paper, summer proj-

ect box, National Parks pass, and library card and

you will be on your way to a summer of fun-lled

learning adventures with your child.

Em Powers Hunter is a writer, educator and parent of

four boys. She has taught in middle schools, a college,

and homeschooled one of her sons.

Fes Summer Youth and Summer Teen Pro-

Day Camp and Sports Camp programs.

An impressive array of activities is oered through

each program, although fees, registration and pro-gram dates vary.

Deborah Trujillos daughters, Marisa, 9, and

Mikayla, 14, have been attending the program since

each was 6 years old.

I like the activities they oer and the low cost.

Both my girls go to private school so at summer

camp theyre able to meet kids they wouldnt other-

wise meet. One thing I really like about the program

is that they block o one half hour or 45 minutes for

reading. ey do all kinds of arts and cras and jew-

elry making. Where else are you going to get child-

care for ve to six weeks for $160? Trujillo asked.

ey split them up by age group. I dont want my

6-year-old hanging out with 12-year-olds. e sta is

real good; weve never had a problem. e girls haveattended a variety of sites. Sometimes we pick one

that is closer to where we live or sometimes they want

to go where the sta they know are working she sa

Keeping kids busy is a big part of the camps.

Last year our sites incorporated the Lets Mov

program of an hour of movement every day, said

Terrie Rodriguez, director of the Youth and Fami

Services Division for the city. e response was s

positive. In addition to stretching and calisthenicour kids did dance, yoga, sports and just ran arou

the playground. We incorporated more walking

trips and of course the ever-popular swimming a

the citys pools. Two of our sites were able to gard

last summer. Spending time working in a garden

gives a child a new appreciation for where food

comes from and preparing healthy snacks.

According to Edith Martinez of the C ommuni

Services Department, the Lets Move theme inclu
