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 eight-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 

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 

door-to-door transportation 

and the option to purchase 

Hi-Five’s catered hot lunch 

program. For more information 

or to register by phone,

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. 

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 low-friction 

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.

Soaring to New Heights 

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 over the ravine 

of Camp Chi. 

This adventure park includes a 

unique belay system that allows campers 

to move across thirteen high elements. 

There are bridges, zip lines and 

rope vines, plus a six-element beginner’s 

course and three ground level 

challenges. The Aerial Adventure Park 

is one-of-a-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 

at JCC’s Camp Chi 

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.”

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. 

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. 

For off-season training, The 

Golf Practice has a 7,000 

square foot indoor training 

and practice center The facility 

was rated one of Chicagolands 

“BEST” from 

Chicago Golf Report.

‘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. 

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.
