Soaring to New Heights 

at JCC’s Camp Chi 

There’s even more for Camp 

Chi campers to look forward to 

this summer! A brand new Aerial 

Adventure Park will take campers 

high into the breezy trees and

There are bridges, zip 

lines and rope vines,

level challenges. The 

Aerial Adventure Park is one-ofa-kind, 

designed especially for 

Chi’s terrain and will be another 

spectacular part of the magical 

Camp Chi experience. 

The adventure park allows 

campers to challenge themselves, 

try something new and experience 

the wooded beauty of camp 

from a completely different vantage 

point. The course is a self-esteem 

builder, a place to build trust 

and focus on teamwork. This new 

addition to the camp facility was 

all made possible by Camp Chi 

alumni who raised funds for the 

new Aerial Adventure 

Park. 

“We’re so excited 

about the Aerial Adventure 

Park and 

grateful to our Chi 

alums who made 

this a reality,” said 

Ron Levin, Director 

of Camp Chi. “This 

course was built exclusively for 

our kids and our camp and we 

can’t wait to see the campers— 

and staff—experience the fun and 

adventure this summer.”

The Golf Practice teaches fundamentals 

The Golf Practice is a golf 

teaching academy located in 

Highland Park. It offers an 

array of junior programs at 

its year-round indoor facility 

and at outdoor camps in 

Highland Park, Kenilworth 

and Evanston (Canal 

shores). TGP takes what it 

knows about hitting a golf 

ball, developing skills and 

having fun to create learning 

aids, training protocols and 

facility concepts that transform 

the experience of learning 

and playing the game. 

TGP helps students understand 

how to properly 

measure their experiences, 

cultivate awareness and illuminate 

the process of learning. 

TGP’s teaching is more 

than a couple of quick tips 

and more an invitation to develop 

skillfulness; to work 

toward something and to go 

down a path of mastery. 

Half Day 

Program 

Highlights: 

Begin the

8:45am to 12:15pm 

Tuesday through Friday 

Fee $395 for one week, 

$25 off for each subsequent 

week 

Five FREE rounds of golf 

for each participant. ($110 

value) 

TGP believes a successful 

junior program has to be 

fast-paced, challenging and 

offer recognition. However, 

the golf club as a tool is not 

easy for many people to understand 

right away. TGP 

breaks complex skills down 

into bite-sized chunks and 

creates games that bridge 

the gap between other athletic 

endeavors. The studentto-teacher 

ratio is 4:1 so as 

to ensure that every player 

feels a connection with the 

teacher and the material. 

Before children have matured 

to the stage of their 

mental development where 

goals and deliberate selfdiscipline 

is possible, they 

learn best through deliberate 

play in which activities are 

designed to maximize their 

enjoyment and fit their attention 

spans. This deliberate 

play for golf/athletic learning 

is created through a variety 

of stations designed with 

purpose and enjoyment. Visit 

www.thegolfpractice.com 

for more information 

For off-season training, 

The Golf Practice has 

a 7,000 square foot indoor 

training and practice center 

that provides adult and 

junior students of the game 

with an inside facility that 

replicates an on-course environment. 

It has created a 

place that is fun and inviting 

for golfers and one that enhances 

the training and practice 

experience. The facility 

was rated one of Chicagolands 

“BEST” from Chicago 

Golf Report.

Free time, social interactions 

integral at Camp Lookout 

Registration is now open for 

Camp Lookout, a co-ed, residential 

summer camp on the Shores 

of Lake Michigan just outside of 

Frankfort, Mich. Lookout is a family-run, 

family-oriented program 

that seeks to improve the world by 

helping kids learn to live and work 

together in a playful and creative 

environment. 

“You won’t see a lot of activities 

listed on our materials, because 

we’re much more about the process 

of things” said Director Curtis 

McFall. “We work with the kids to 

develop activities based on their 

ideas. It’s very fluid.” 

The self-described “social camp” 

(as opposed to sports camp, band 

camp, etc.) emphasizes the importance 

of free time, co-creation of 

programming and a focus on positive 

connections. 

“Campers are eating family-style 

at meals, they’re contributing to the 

upkeep of camp, they get to choose 

how to spend time with each other, 

they’re not limited to spending 

time with only a small set of others,” 

said Assistant Director Izzy 

Cooper. “It feels like a real community.” 

The camp is founded on noncompetitive 

principles, a philosophy 

that goes back well over 50 

years — while the camp has been 

operating for nearly 100 years. 

“What we have seen year after 

year is our campers feel comfortable 

enough here to really be themselves,” 

McFall said. “That means 

they take more healthy risks, experience 

more growth, and go home 

with more self confidence and a 

sense of belonging somewhere really 

special to them.” 

The Calvin and Hobbes-esque 

nature of activities makes it challenging 

to describe the full breadth 

of Lookout’s offerings: both Cooper 

and McFall describe oppor-

‘Everyone plays’ at American Youth Soccer Organization camps 

The American Youth Soccer 

Organization Region 425 

is celebrating its 30th anniversary 

this spring. AYSO 

425 was founded when the 

recreational soccer leagues 

from Glencoe, Kenilworth, 

Northfield and Winnetka 

combined their youth soccer 

programs and joined AYSO. 

Today, with more than 1,400 

children between the ages 

of 4 and 14 years in the program, 

AYSO 425 is one of 

the strongest AYSO regions 

in the country. 

AYSO is celebrating its 

52nd year as the largest 

youth soccer organization 

in the USA. AYSO was established 

in the Los Angeles 

area in 1964 with nine 

teams. It was the dream of 

a group of devoted soccer 

enthusiasts who started the 

organization in a garage. Today, 

AYSO has 50,000 teams 

and over 500,000 players 

nationwide. Its goal is to 

provide world-class youth 

soccer programs that enrich 

children’s lives. 

AYSO is supported by 

125,000 volunteers. Parents 

donate their time as coaches, 

referees, team parents, administrators 

and sponsors. 

Along with being a volunteer-run 

organization, AYSO 

is a partnership of the area 

parks departments, schools 

and the community. AYSO 

as a youth sports organization 

recognizes the importance 

of providing a safe 

and healthy atmosphere for 

children. 

Over the years, AYSO has 

created many valuable programs 

and concepts. Most 

notably, AYSO revolutionized 

youth sports with its 

“Everyone Plays” and “Balanced 

Teams” philosophies. 

In AYSO, each child who 

registers is guaranteed to 

play at least half of every 

game. AYSO recognizes that 

games are more fun when the 

teams are evenly matched, 

so teams are balanced teams 

based on each player’s skill 

level and the overall ability 

of the team. 

Over 10 years ago AYSO 

425 teamed up with UK International 

to provide top 

notch soccer instruction for 

AYSO’s players and expand 

the programs that AYSO 425 

offers. Throughout the year, 

UK International provides 

AYSO 425 with fall and 

spring training programs 

for all ages, team coaching, 

coaches’ clinics, and afterschool 

clinics. UKI’s summer 

camp programs provide 

an age-appropriate curriculum, 

which includes “Fun in 

the Sun,” “Skills ‘n’ Thrills” 

and “Compete with your 

Feet” programs, for individual 

players between 4-18 

years of age. They also offer 

specialized programs for 

teams and goalkeepers. UK 

trainers become part of the 

fabric of the community by 

living with host families and 

working with the children in 

the AYSO program.

YMCA summer day camps deliver fun for 

kids, flexibility for parents 

Camp registration is now 

open at the North Suburban 

YMCA, which offers a wide 

variety of engaging programs 

at the Y’s expansive 

campus in Northbrook. The 

2016 Camp Guide, available 

at www.nsymca.org, 

includes a host of traditional 

camps as well as specialty 

programs in dance, sports, 

gymnastics and art. In addition, 

the Y offers brand 

new camp programs for 

2016 in computer technology, 

cooking, magic and balloon 

animals, art, and Lego 

creations. 

NSYMCA camp programs 

combine fun and 

discovery for children with 

flexibility and peace of mind 

for parents. Campers have 

access to the Y’s extensive 

facility, including an indoor 

pool, large gyms, art and 

dance studio, and outdoor 

play areas. Weekly field trips 

take campers to water parks, 

amusement parks, zoos, and 

other fun venues. 

Camp activities are run 

by highly trained counselors 

under the leadership of the 

Y’s professional staff. Camp 

Director Carol Sassorossi, 

a veteran NSYMCA coach 

and sports director, has been 

with the Y for over 20 years. 

She is assisted by Shannon 

Cartier, an early childhood 

educator with over ten 

years at the Y who will supervise 

the early childhood 

and special camps; Ashley 

Almdale, who brings seven 

years of camp experience to 

her supervision of the sports 

camps; and Kevin Tyner, 

another seven-year camp 

veteran who will supervise 

the traditional camps. All 

four are certified teachers 

in addition to their experience 

with the YMCA camp 

programs. NSYMCA Visual 

Arts Director Cathie Winnie 

and Performing Arts Director 

Shannon Mundorf also 

work closely with the camps 

in their areas of expertise. 

Parents appreciate the 

unique scheduling features 

that make the YMCA’s camp 

truly customizable and affordable. 

The Y offers half 

day and full day camps, before- 

and after-camp childcare, 

and even transportation 

from Northbrook summer 

schools to afternoon camps. 

Campers can sign up for sessions 

by the week, accommodating 

family vacations 

and enabling kids to sample 

different Y programs. Payment 

plans are available, and 

families in financial need 

may apply for scholarships 

through the Y’s Strong Kids 

Fund. 

“Camps are special at 

the YMCA because they’re 

designed with families in 

mind,” notes Carol Sassorossi. 

“Parents know that 

their children will be in a 

fun, safe, supportive environment, 

and our scheduling 

options make it easy to accommodate 

work and travel 

schedules.”

Noggin Builders lets kids 

explore, build and create 

Noggin Builders Marketing 

Director Scott Landy recently 

sat down with Amy Torf, the 

owner and founder of Noggin 

Builders in Northbrook, to talk 

about the organization. 

Scott Landy: Why is 

creative problem solving 

an important skill to teach 

children? 

Amy Torf: Creative problem 

solving is one of the most 

important skills we can teach 

kids today so that they can 

become tomorrow’s future 

leaders. Our world is quickly 

changing in ways we can’t 

even imagine, so the most important 

skill that our children 

will need to be successful in 

the future is the ability to use 

creative and critical thinking 

to solve problems. 

SL: How does a STEM 

curriculum do this? 

AT: STEM (science, technology, 

engineering and 

math) activities are a natural 

way to build problem solving 

and thinking skills. The 

scientific method and engineering 

design process encourage 

patterns like asking 

questions, brainstorming, 

planning, building, testing 

and improving. 

SL: Why is it important 

that kids continue to learn 

during the summer? 

AT: Research has shown 

that children show a decreased 

level in both knowledge 

and skills after summer 

vacation. On average, this has 

been shown to be about one 

month behind where children 

left off at the end of the school 

year. In many cases, this is 

most significantly seen in 

math skills (although in low 

income areas, reading may be 

larger). Keeping kids engaged 

in learning activities during 

the summer can prevent this 

backward slip. Another benefit 

to engaging in fun, participatory 

learning during the 

summer months is that it inspires 

children to view educational 

activities as something 

enjoyable and fun. 

SL: How is Camp Noggin 

Builders different? 

AT: At Camp Noggin 

Builders we encourage exploration 

through hands-on, 

project-based learning. We 

believe in asking questions 

rather than stating answers, 

and in involving the children 

in creating the path that 

our explorations will take. 

Grades 

2-9 

SUMMER 2016 CAMPS 

Grades 

2-9 

At Noggin Builders, your 

child will build more than 

a science project; he or she 

builds the life-long skills of 

problem solving, creative 

and critical thinking, perseverance, 

communication and 

collaboration. 

SL: What types of camps 

is Noggin Builders offering 

this summer? 

AT: A few of this year’s 

themes are: “Arctic Expedition” 

(grades K-2), “Crazy 

Contraptions (grade 3-5)” and 

“Radical Robots” (grades 6-8). 

In “Arctic Expedition” campers 

will design experiments 

to observe how ice melts, test 

how to stay warm with blubber 

and build sleds with lowfriction 

materials. In “Crazy 

Contraptions,” campers will 

explore simple machines like 

pulleys, levers and ramps by 

building and testing variations 

to learn about their functions 

before create an amazing 

Rube Goldberg type machine. 

“Radical Robotics” explores 

the world of robotics and 

campers will create a teddy 

bear robot, experiment with 

balance, or design the most 

efficient assembly line, while 

working with different kinds 

of robots such as Edison and 

Mindstorm.

More fun and surprises in store 

for Hi-Five Sports Camp in 2016 

Hi-Five Sports Camp, 

now entering its 26th year 

on the North Shore of Chicago, 

will open its campgrounds 

on June 20th, 2016. 

The camp’s 8-Week program 

will run Monday through 

Friday until August 12th at 

the Christian Heritage Academy 

(CHA) in Northfield, 

and Owner Danny Tuchman 

could not be more excited 

for what his campers have in 

store this summer. 

“I can’t give away specifics 

just yet, but lets just say 

our campers are in for the 

best summer ever once camp 

begins,” Tuchman said. “Hi- 

Five is where non-stop sports 

meets fun, laughter, camaraderie, 

new friends and a lot of 

big surprises! So big, in fact, 

that any new camp families 

that call our office and mention 

this article will receive 

$100 off 2016 rates!”. 

Tuchman knows that he 

and his staff have big shoes 

to fill, especially after last 

year’s 25th Anniversary 

celebration. The marquee 

event concluded the camp’s 

Nation’s #1 Sports Broadcasting Camp 

THE AWARD-WINNING 

first 4-week session and included 

appearances by Chicago 

Blackhawks mascot, 

Tommy Hawk, the Chicago 

Bulls promotions team and 

former Chicago Bears wide 

receiver, Brandon Marshall. 

“Every summer we strive to 

be bigger and better than the 

year before, from the games 

and activities we offer to the 

special events and field trips 

we book,” Tuchman said. 

“We’ve already begun planning 

our 2016 calendar and 

awards ceremonies. Campers 

and families should definitely 

be getting excited for 

not only what’s to come, but 

also for who may be stopping 

by to join in the fun!” 

Hi-Five’s success has also 

lead to expansion across the 

country, lead by the hard 

work, vision and dedication 

of Danny Tuchman’s older 

brother, Ryan. In addition to 

its original North Shore location, 

Hi-Five Sports Camp 

now operates in downtown 

Chicago, San Francisco and 

Phoenix, with additional 

camps opening this summer 

in Gurnee, Naperville, 

Westchester County, New 

York and Tucson, Arizona. 

Hi-Five Sports recently 

launched its new website, 

making it easier than ever 

for families to log on and 

sign up for Sports Camp. 

Best of all, the North Shore’s 

premier summer sports experience 

offers open enrollment, 

so families can register 

any time as an individual, 

or with a group for additional 

savings. Hi-Five Sports 

Camp is for boys and girls 

pre-kindergarten through 

eighth grade and features 

a full menu of team sports, 

themed weeks and summer 

fun. All campers will receive

School of the Art Institute of Chicago 

offers creative camp for kids 

This summer, nurture 

your child’s creativity at the 

School of the Art Institute of 

Chicago (SAIC). Our camp 

sessions offer kids of all 

ages an exciting opportunity 

to discover and imagine with 

a variety of art materials and 

methods. SAIC is the leader 

in educating the world’s 

most influential artists, designers, 

and scholars, and we 

offer world-class resources 

for your budding artist, including 

the Art Institute of 

Chicago’s renowned museum 

collection, as well as 

an inspirational environment 

that encourages innovation, 

experimentation, and fun. 

The Multi-Arts Camps 

are tailored for elementary 

school students and are 

grouped by ages 4–5, 6–7, 

and 8–9. Campers work together 

on a variety of interactive 

projects and experience 

the joys of making art 

and making new friends. 

Projects include painting, 

drawing, mixed-media, 

sculpture, printmaking, performance, 

digital art, and 

more. Campers ages 4–5 

meet in the mornings, while 

older campers can enroll for 

morning, afternoon, or allday 

sessions. Each one- and 

two-week camp will have a 

new and exciting theme, so 

students can enroll in multiple 

sessions. SAIC also has 

1-week family camp options 

where parents and siblings 

can work together to create 

collaborative art projects. 

For older students, SAIC’s 

Middle School Program 

camps focus on mediaspecific 

and interdisciplinary 

approaches to art and 

design with an emphasis on 

expanding critical thinking 

skills. These one- and twoweek 

sessions meet Monday 

through Friday from 9:00 

a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and focus 

on a discipline such as animation, 

architecture, video 

game design, and comics. 

Each session dives into a 

specific medium, so campers 

can enroll in several sessions 

and try out a different practice 

each time. 

Sessions run June 13–August 

19, 2016. Financial aid 

and discounts are available to 

qualifying students. SAIC’s 

Summer Camps foster and 

support lifelong learning and 

the development of creative 

thought and practice in students 

of all ages through the 

Continuing Studies program.
