Established in 1990. Created by the National Inventors Hall of Fame Foundation in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office with the top priority being quality enrichment in the fields of science, math, history and the arts. Campers participate in five continuous modules each day that place them in settings like a strange planet, a faraway island, or deep under the sea. Their inventive - thinking skills are put to the test as they solve problems within each module, such as how to rebuild their rocket ship, how to cross a river of hot lava, or how to gather and contain sea creatures without causing them harm. Through this kind of hands - on fun, campers get excited about science and working together as a team. * See VA & DC Guides (under National Presbyterian School).

How to Research Summer Camps

Have you made child care plans for the summer yet? June is just around the corner! Whether its finding child care for school age kids or handling alternative arrangements when family day care providers take vacations, summer child care can be a challenge. The following are some suggestions and some resources to help make this summer's child care arrangements easier for you and your child. If your provider will be on vacation, considering coordinating your vacation time to match or arrange for your child to be in a summer camp session at that time. When choosing a camp, consider your child's age, interests and comfort with the camp activities planned. A child who doesn't like competitive games may not enjoy being sent to a camp where "Capture the Flag" is played on a daily basis. It is very important to include you child in the decision-making process to eliminate an unhappy camp experience. � Make sure the activities are well-structured with plenty of variety and little down time. Activities should be geared toward promoting self- esteem and team-work. If the camp is centered on a certain specialty like performing arts, theatre, sports, or science, inquire into how much time is devoted to those specialty subjects each day. � If you are considering an overnight camp, talk with your child to see if he or she is ready for that experience. Will your child know other friends who will be at that camp? Word-of-mouth and a conversation with other parents who's children have attended that camp can provide additional information in selecting a camp for your child. � When choosing a camp, ask about the ratio of counselors to kids, qualifications and median age of counselors, and staff turnover. Most accredited overnight camps require a ratio of counselors as follows: one counselor for every six campers for ages 7 and 8; one counselor for every eight campers for ages 9 to 14; and one counselor for every ten campers for ages 15-17. � Most county programs in the Metropolitan area offer extended camp hours for working parents. However, if yours doesn't, see if you can arrange for alternative care during that time. Possibly a neighbor or parent of a day camper could provide care. � Call now to find out about camp regulations. Many camps fill up quickly. And, just in case, have the following information ready when you register: emergency contact information, name and phone number of pediatrician, medical insurance details, vaccination record, allergy and medication information.

What Questions Should I Ask a Prospective Camp Director?

The answers to these questions are important in placing your child in the camp that meets his or her needs. • One of the most important questions to ask the Camp Director is the camp’s philosophy (what is the purpose of the camp?). • Is the camp geared towards a particular sport or is it an academic camp? • Is it a performing arts camp or an all-round camp? • Is competition looked on as a natural part of life, or does the camp foster a greater sense of cooperation and interdependence through noncompetitive

activities? • What is the camper-to-counselor ratio? • What are the policies regarding supervision for field trips? For instance, are children required to wear camp T-shirts so they can be easily spotted? • Do the counselors carry cellular phones or two-way radios in the event of an emergency? • What medical facilities are on the facility? • How are medical emergencies handled? • Are there registered nurses on site? • Are kids placed in age appropriate groups? Are the groups same gender or gender-mixed? • Does lunch have to be brought from home? • Does the camp provide snacks? • Is the tuition all-inclusive, covering meals, field trips, snacks and uniforms? • Is there a refund policy? • Are family discounts given for registering more than one child? Remember: If you don’t see something, ask, then get it in writing!! Taken from the following resource: www.summercamps.com
