The Northwest Passage offers outdoor fun for thrill-seekers<br />
The Northwest Passage<br />
produces outdoor adventures<br />
for day-campers,<br />
overnighters and the whole<br />
family. Since 1983 Northwest<br />
Passage guides and<br />
instructors have introduced<br />
tens of thousands of adventurers<br />
of all ages to<br />
the challenges and joys of<br />
outdoor pursuits like sea<br />
kayaking, rock climbing,<br />
stand up paddle boarding,<br />

backpacking, even dog<br />
sledding to the North Pole<br />
and climbing some of the<br />
world’s tallest peaks.<br />
Located at 1130 Greenleaf<br />
Ave. in Wilmette, our<br />
passion for outdoor fun is<br />
infectious, our professionalism<br />
unparalleled. Our<br />
programming expands horizons<br />
and is supported by<br />
over three decades of experience.<br />
The Northwest Passage<br />
makes high adventure<br />
accessible to all.<br />
Northwest Passage<br />
camps are designed to be<br />
fun, but more significantly<br />
they develop young adventurers.<br />
The outdoor<br />
world holds a lifetime of<br />
enriching experiences for<br />
those with the confidence<br />
and skills to seek them<br />
out. Northwest Passage<br />
programming gets you out<br />
• Boys & Girls, ages 7-16<br />
• Traditional & Specialty<br />
activities, PLUS HORSES,<br />
Teen Programs, Adventure Trips<br />
• Sessions from 4 days<br />
to 1 or more weeks!<br />
there and lays a foundation<br />
for you to explore further.<br />
Weeklong half- and<br />
full-day programs introduce<br />
younger campers to<br />
sea kayaking and stand<br />
up paddle boarding in the<br />
North Shore’s local waterways.<br />
Under the guidance<br />
of experienced instructors,<br />
campers have fun while<br />
honing highly transferable<br />
water safety skills. Attention<br />
all “waterbugs,” this is<br />
the camp for you!<br />
Day and overnight programs<br />
for teenage adventurers<br />
develop more<br />
advanced leadership and<br />
outdoor skills. Climb up a<br />
rock face but also understand<br />
the roped belay system<br />
that makes climbing<br />
safe. Help build a belay<br />
system and manage it yourself.<br />
Teen programs are like<br />
an “adventure learner’s<br />
permit.” Participants have<br />
the opportunity to “get in<br />
the driver’s seat” in a controlled<br />
outdoor setting.<br />
Teen programs also expand<br />
self-sufficiency and teamwork.<br />
Encountering new<br />
outdoor challenges with<br />
great friends is the focal<br />
point, but collateral experiences<br />
like pitching camp<br />
as a group, sharing responsibilities<br />
and planning trip<br />
logistics readies campers<br />
for leadership roles in any<br />
setting.<br />
Northwest Passage family<br />
adventures make it easy<br />
to enjoy the outdoors with<br />
your loved ones. Activitybased<br />
outdoor adventures<br />
are such valuable experiences,<br />
but planning and<br />
producing them can require<br />
prior knowledge and a big<br />
chunk of time.<br />
Let The Northwest Passage<br />
take care of the logistics<br />
and the “grunt work.”<br />
You just need to show up<br />
ready for fun. The only<br />
question is how much fun<br />
do you want to have: an<br />
afternoon on the water? A<br />
weekend in the woods? A<br />
week of island hopping?<br />
Double dip and make it<br />
two weeks? The Northwest<br />
Passage has your needs<br />
covered.<br />
We offer a spectrum of<br />
paddling and hiking trips<br />
throughout the Midwest’s<br />
wooded shorelines and<br />
even venture to faraway<br />
places like Kilimanjaro,<br />
the Amalfi Coast and South<br />
Africa with adventurous<br />
families.<br />
Our mission is to get you<br />
ready, and get you going on<br />
a lifetime of adventure. See<br />
you out there!<br />

Explore, build and create with Noggin Builders<br />
Camp Noggin Builders oneweek<br />
summer camps in Northbrook<br />
are filled with fun, handson<br />
STEM activities! Your<br />
curious explorers (grades K-8th<br />
and ages 3-5 years) will enhance<br />
creative problem solving and<br />
critical thinking skills, choosing<br />
from our many different weekly<br />
themes including Robotics, Science<br />
of Art, littleBits, Go Green!,<br />
Architecture, and Secret Codes &<br />
Ciphers.<br />
Why is creative problem solving<br />
an important skill to teach<br />
children? Teaching creative<br />
problem skills helps today’s kids<br />
become tomorrow’s future leaders.<br />
Our world is quickly changing<br />
in ways we can’t even imagine,<br />
and the most important skill<br />
our children need to be successful<br />
in the future is the ability to use<br />
creative and critical thinking to<br />
solve problems. STEM activities<br />
(using science, technology, engineering<br />
and math) are a natural<br />
way to build these skills.<br />
Why is it important that kids<br />
continue to learn during the summer?<br />
Research shows that children<br />
show a decrease in both<br />
knowledge and skills after summer<br />
vacation. On average, children<br />
return to school about one<br />
month behind where they left off<br />
the previous school year. Engaging<br />
kids in learning activities<br />
during the summer helps prevent<br />
this. Another benefit to participating<br />
in fun, exploratory learning,<br />
is that it inspires children<br />
to view educational activities as<br />
something enjoyable and fun.<br />
How is Noggin Builders different?<br />
At Camp Noggin Builders<br />
we encourage exploration<br />
through hands-on, project-based<br />
learning. We believe in asking<br />
questions, rather than stating<br />
answers, and in involving children<br />
in creating the path our explorations<br />
will take. At Noggin<br />
Builders, your child will build<br />
more than a science project; they<br />
build the life-long skills of problem<br />
solving, creative and critical<br />
thinking, perseverance, communication<br />
and collaboration.<br />
Camp that works for your<br />
schedule! Noggin Builders offers<br />
flexible schedule options to<br />
meet the needs of your summer.<br />
Because each week’s theme and<br />
activities are different, you can<br />
sign up for the weeks that fit your<br />
child’s schedule. Half-day (9<br />
a.m.-noon) and full-day (9 a.m.-4<br />
p.m.) camps are available, as well<br />
as extend day for early morning<br />
and late afternoon. Each camp<br />
day will be filled with fun, handson<br />
activities in STEM. Your child<br />
will experiment, build, and create<br />
through explorations based on<br />
the theme of the week. Fun team<br />
building activities, cooking and<br />
crafts are also part of each week.<br />

Kenilworth Park District summer camps keep<br />
children active, mentally engaged<br />
During the summer months,<br />
parents can keep their children<br />
physically and mentally engaged<br />
by signing them up for Kenilworth<br />
Park District summer<br />
camps.<br />
The fun and learning begins<br />
Monday, June 19, and runs<br />
through Friday, July 28. There<br />
is no camp on July 4th in observance<br />
of Independence Day.<br />
The Kenilworth Park District<br />
is committed to nurturing youths<br />
in the community. At camp, children<br />
will have an enriching, safe<br />
experience with caring directors<br />
and counselors.<br />
According to counselors, there<br />
are 4 reasons that you should send<br />
your children to summer camp:<br />
1. Adventure: Kenilworth Park<br />
District summer camps stimulate<br />
the imagination of young children<br />
through adventure and exploration.<br />
2. Fun and fitness: Camps engage<br />
children through mental and<br />
physical stimulation, including<br />
outdoor activities, arts and crafts,<br />
and science experiments.<br />
3. Friendship: Camps offer<br />
an outlet to children outside of<br />
school where they can connect<br />
with each other through camp<br />
activities and create new friendships.<br />
4. Memories: Camp is an unforgettable<br />
experience, and your<br />
campers will have plenty of exciting<br />
stories to tell at the end of<br />
each day. The Kenilworth Park<br />
District offers two different summer<br />
camps to choose from.<br />
Campers should be registered<br />
for the correct camp based on the<br />
grade that they will enter in September<br />
2017. Each camp offers a<br />
regular day (9 a.m.-noon) or an<br />
extended day (9 a.m.-1:30 p.m.)<br />
option. The following is a brief<br />
synopsis of each camp.<br />
LITTLE SPRINGS: (Ages 3<br />
to first grade.) At Little Springs,<br />
campers will enjoy activities in<br />
the areas of art, music, science<br />
and plenty of outdoor activities.<br />
In addition to daily activities,<br />
special performances are scheduled<br />
throughout the summer. In<br />
the past, campers have enjoyed<br />
performances by jugglers, magicians,<br />
professional BMX riders,<br />
animal shows, puppet shows, and<br />
yo-yo entertainers.<br />
SPORTS PLUS: (second<br />
through sixth grade) In Sports<br />
Plus, campers participate in a<br />
variety of organized sports and<br />
games. These activities are focused<br />
on skill development and<br />
team building. Arts and craft projects,<br />
regular trips to the beach,<br />
and weekly entertainers are all a<br />
part of the Sports Plus camp experience.<br />
Sports Plus participants<br />
can choose either a three-week or<br />
six-week options.<br />
The Kenilworth Park District<br />
also offers junior golf, basketball<br />
skills, karate, and boys lacrosse<br />
summer camp options.<br />

How your child can benefit from a STEM education<br />
Everyone from teachers to<br />
business owners is talking about<br />
the importance of science, technology,<br />
engineering, and math<br />
(STEM).<br />
But why is everyone so concerned<br />
about these specific fields<br />
of study?<br />
Here are just a few of the benefits<br />
your child could gain from<br />
studying STEM.<br />
1. Solve Real-World Problems<br />
With Creative Solutions<br />
STEM fields encourage spatial<br />
reasoning, if-then thinking,<br />
problem solving, and creativity.<br />
They force students to look at<br />
problems from different angles<br />
and come up with unique solutions.<br />
While reinforcing these behaviors<br />
ultimately strengthens<br />
their performance in math or science<br />
class, it doesn’t stop there.<br />
Life is no cakewalk, and kids<br />
encounter a variety of problems<br />
every day, from homework challenges<br />
to friend drama. By improving<br />
their problem-solving<br />
skills in the STEM classroom,<br />
your child will be better prepared<br />
to tackle all of life’s problems,<br />
big or small.<br />
2. Prepare for Our Evolving<br />
Future<br />
An estimated 1 million STEM<br />
jobs will go unfilled by 2020,<br />
and it’s time to start equipping<br />
our kids with the skills they need<br />
to thrive in our ever-changing<br />
world.<br />
If your child dreams of engineering<br />
innovative bridges or<br />
creating the next cure for cancer,<br />
it’s easy to see how studying science<br />
or math could be integral.<br />
But these aren’t the only students<br />
who need to dive into STEM<br />
studies.<br />
As robotics and automation<br />
continue to change the workforce,<br />
experts suggest that a<br />
basic understanding of science,<br />
technology, engineering, and<br />
math will be necessary for most<br />
jobs. As our information-based<br />
society grows more and more reliant<br />
on technology, students will<br />
need to be prepared.<br />
3. Discover a Passion<br />
STEM fields can appear boring<br />
or difficult for students who<br />
have only encountered them in<br />
traditional learning settings. Yet<br />
with the right instruction, STEM<br />
studies can unlock a whole new<br />
world of possibilities. In fact,<br />
the best STEM instructors connect<br />
science, technology, engineering,<br />
and math principles to<br />
the topics that already interest<br />
students. Making those connections<br />
is often the spark that leads<br />
to students developing a lifelong<br />
passion.<br />
Get started with STEM at iD Tech<br />
At iD Tech summer programs,<br />
students ages 6-18 can learn to<br />
code apps, design video games,<br />

During the month of<br />
March, I often think of<br />
Kermit the Frog and the<br />
song, “It’s Not Easy Being<br />
Green.”<br />
While Kermit is referring<br />
to the color green in<br />
his song, I am reminded of<br />
a state of being. When you<br />
are “green” at something,<br />
it often means that you are<br />
new.<br />
There are many times<br />
in life that we are put in a<br />
new situation, whether it<br />
be changing schools, joining<br />
a sports team or club,<br />
moving to a different location,<br />
starting a new job,<br />
switching careers, etc.<br />
Coming to camp for<br />
the first time may bring<br />
about feelings of being<br />
green. Being new can<br />
seem scary or challenging<br />
at first. You may be wondering<br />
if you will fit in, if<br />
the other campers will like<br />
The Tao of being a camp counselor<br />
you, if the food tastes like<br />
what you eat at home, if<br />
your bed will be comfortable,<br />
and a long list of<br />
other thoughts that may be<br />
crossing your mind in the<br />
days and months leading<br />
up to your first sleep-away<br />
camp experience.<br />
First of all, you should<br />
know that at Towering<br />
Pines, we LOVE having<br />
new campers join us<br />
each summer! It is fun to<br />
welcome boys from new<br />
places that will contribute<br />
to the diverse culture of<br />
geographic locations that<br />
are represented each year.<br />
This will add to a growing<br />
list of connections that you<br />
will make by having friends<br />
from all around the world.<br />
New campers bring a<br />
fresh perspective and energy<br />
that is important to the<br />
life of camp – we THRIVE<br />
because you are a VITAL<br />
New campers bring a fresh perspective<br />
and energy that is important<br />
to the life of camp – we<br />
THRIVE because you are a VI-<br />
TAL part of our camp family!<br />
part of our camp family!<br />
To help you feel comfortable<br />
in your new summer<br />
home, we have several<br />
things in place to make<br />
it easy for you to get in the<br />
groove of camp.<br />
First off, your counselors<br />
will greet you with a<br />
BIG smile and lend a hand<br />
with moving in and settling<br />
into your cabin. They<br />
will explain the routines of<br />
a typical day and will be<br />
ready to answer any questions<br />
you may have.<br />
After that, you will<br />
get to play a ton of FUN<br />
games that will assist you<br />
with learning the names<br />
of the boys in your cabin<br />
and around camp. Because<br />
we are a smaller camp, it<br />
is truly a place “Where<br />
Everybody Knows Your<br />
Name”!<br />
Before selecting your activities,<br />
you will have the<br />
opportunity to take a tour<br />
and see where each takes<br />
place, meet the staff, and<br />
find out all of the cool stuff<br />
you will get to do.<br />
Evenings will offer an<br />
opportunity to do a cabin<br />
activity, be part of our<br />
weekly campfire, or take<br />
part in a workshop of your<br />
choice. The TP kitchen<br />
staff will serve up some<br />
awesome meals that will<br />
provide comfort as you<br />
spend your first few days<br />
at camp. Don’t be surprised<br />
if you ask your Mom when<br />
you return home to cook<br />
a recipe that is something<br />
new you tried at camp!<br />
New can also be exciting!<br />
You will be embarking<br />
on an adventure that<br />
may be different from<br />
what your friends may<br />
choose to do this summer.<br />
Even veteran campers<br />
experience a taste of “being<br />
green” each summer.<br />
They may be in a different<br />
cabin with a new mix of<br />
campers from the year before<br />
or they may decide to<br />
try a new activity or challenge<br />
themselves in an old<br />
one.<br />
The great thing is that<br />
we are there to support<br />
each camper every step of<br />
the way. So, maybe it really<br />
IS easy being green<br />
after all at Towering Pines!<br />
Come see for yourself<br />
and join us for summer<br />
2017 ... we can’t wait to<br />
meet you!<br />

Harand Camp of the Theatre Arts to<br />
celebrate 63rd season in summer 2017<br />
The renowned Harand<br />
Camp of the Theatre Arts,<br />
located on the campus of<br />
Carthage College in Kenosha,<br />
continues with its<br />
63rd Season in Summer<br />
2017. To register, or for<br />
more information, contact<br />
(847) 864-1500, harandcamp@gmail.com<br />
or visit<br />
www.harandcamp.com.<br />
Established in 1955,<br />
Harand Camp was one of<br />
the first co-ed, residential<br />
camps to combine musical<br />
theater with the fun of traditional<br />
camp life. Located<br />
on the beautiful campus<br />
of Carthage College in<br />
Kenosha, Harand offers<br />
performing arts training<br />
for campers ages 7 to 18,<br />
plus sports, activities, and<br />
camp fun in a supportive,<br />
family environment. Sessions<br />
run one, three, or six<br />
weeks and culminate with<br />
large-scale performances<br />
in a 400-seat, state-of-theart<br />
theater.<br />
In preparation for final<br />
shows, campers take daily<br />
classes in singing, dancing,<br />
and acting with occasional<br />
rehearsals in the<br />
evening. Harand Camp adheres<br />
to a non-competitive<br />
philosophy where “no man<br />
is an island” and everyone<br />
is a star. It is the goal for<br />
everyone to develop performance<br />
skills while also<br />
building self-confidence.<br />
During the first threeweek<br />
session (Pageant:<br />
June 18–July 9) campers<br />
perform in a major musical<br />
revue featuring the<br />
entire camp. Each group<br />
stars in two sections of<br />
non-stop singing and dancing<br />
wearing amazing costumes.<br />
During the second<br />
three-week session (Musicals:<br />
July 10–30) each<br />
age group prepares a fulllength<br />
musical with every<br />
camper performing a lead<br />
role and in the ensemble –<br />
ensuring everyone has the<br />
chance to shine.<br />
Campers may also attend<br />
for six weeks (June<br />
18-July 30) or a unique<br />
one-week session (Workshop:<br />
June 18–24) exclusive<br />
to new campers, ages<br />
7-12. This option is perfect<br />
for children who have<br />
never been away from<br />
home and culminates in<br />
a workshop performance<br />
featuring songs, dances<br />
and drama presentations.<br />
Enrollment in the program<br />
is very limited and oneweekers<br />
always have the<br />
option to stay.<br />
In addition to the theatre<br />
program, campers take<br />

Improver camps run all summer long<br />
Big Blue Swim School<br />
is excited to announce the<br />
schedule for this summer’s<br />
Super-Improver Camps.<br />
Each four-day camp runs<br />
Monday through Thursday<br />
and packs a month’s worth<br />
of progress into four consecutive<br />
days with the same<br />
teacher.<br />
“We like to encourage<br />
year-round swimming,”<br />
Big Blue founder Chris<br />
DeJong said. “To do this,<br />
we make our schedule as<br />
parent-friendly as possible.<br />
“Our Super-Improver<br />
Camps are a great way for<br />
families to pick and choose<br />
which weeks they would<br />
like to attend lessons.”<br />
Families are welcome to<br />
sign up for multiple camps<br />
throughout the summer<br />
in addition to attending<br />
weekly lessons with the<br />
same professional teacher<br />

comfort around the water.<br />
Big Blue’s three state-ofthe-art<br />
teaching facilities<br />
in Buffalo Grove, Niles,<br />
and Wilmette (and coming<br />
this summer to Hoffman<br />
Estates) are specifically designed<br />
to make swim lessons<br />
as easy and as fun as<br />
possible for families.<br />
Professional, adult teachers<br />

are welcome to change in<br />
their own individual changing<br />
room and parents may<br />
take advantage of a comfortable<br />
viewing area with<br />
free Wi-Fi or sit pool side<br />

“There’s nothing better<br />
than watching a child have<br />
a break through moment<br />
during a lesson,” DeJong<br />
said.<br />
“Most people don’t realize<br />
how much work goes<br />
into creating moments like<br />
that.”<br />
