Camp Birchwood’s 

countdown to confidence 

Camp values that 

make a difference 

10. Girls make their own 

decisions. 

Camp engages girls in 

their own decision-making 

process. Yes, without 

mom or dad there, it’s 

up to them to make their 

schedule and live out their 

every day. Sometimes 

they make mistakes. But 

those gentle set-backs 

show them they can persevere 

and face more challenges 

in their future. 

9. Girls DO cool stuff. 

Studies indicate that 

girls tend to base their selfworth 

on their relationships 

rather than “hard skills” or 

actual accomplishments. 

At Birchwood, girls get off 

the roller coaster of “what 

others think” and start DO- 

ING. What they gain is a 

kind of “know how” no 

one can ever take away. 

8. Girls gain those 

indispensable “soft skills.” 

Unlike hard skills that 

are based on the ability to 

perform a task, soft skills 

relate to how well you 

conduct yourself within a 

group. 

At Birchwood, girls develop 

crucial soft skills 

living in a cabin of 10-12 

their peers. In doing so, 

they learn to share, use 

good manners, listen well, 

speak with respect, tolerate 

differences, and come 

together as a team to accomplish 

goals. 

7. An all-female setting is 

all-special 

Our all-female setting 

minimizes distractions and 

invites girls to communicate 

openly and authentically. 

There’s no competition 

about appearance, or 

status, or popularity. Girls 

can let go of “who they 

think they should be to 

impress others” and focus 

instead - on who they truly 

are - unique, valuable, and 

worthwhile individuals capable 

of greatness. 

6. At Birchwood, girls 

stop, look, listen, and 

reflect. 

At Birchwood, our counselors 

incorporate intentional 

learning moments 

into every day. Girls are 

asked to reflect on their efforts 

(big or small) so they 

can appreciate their own 

progress (rather than compare 

it to others). Crystallizing 

their growth turns 

the simplest moment into 

an epic confidence booster. 

5. Social Media takes 

a back seat to soulful 

socializing 

At Birchwood, all the 

gadgets are put away. Girls 

focus on what is happening 

in the moment. Life 

is not measured by selfies. 

It is measured by 

shared laughs, outdoor 

adventures, meaningful 

conversations, challenges 

overcome, and real connections 

made with friends 

in real time. 

4. Time in the outdoors is 

the best time of all 

At Birchwood, girls depart 

the blitz and chaos 

of modern life and enter 

a space where they can 

breathe fresh air, dive into 

cool waters, and sit with 

the earth. A calm simplicity 

weaves itself into 

their everyday experience. 

Stresses dissipate. Their 

world becomes smaller. 

More manageable. Better. 

Happier. Healthier. 

3. Real role models who 

make a real difference 

Sometimes it takes 

someone who isn’t your 

adoring parent to motivate 

and inspire you as you 

grow up. 

At Birchwood, girls are 

surrounded by female role 

models worthy of emulation. 

These college-age 

ladies empower girls to 

celebrate their individuality, 

take on brand new 

challenges, express their 

opinions with respect, and 

appreciate uniqueness in 

others. 

2. Friends really are 

friends forever. 

As girls share their most 

joyful, honest self with one 

another, a binding connection 

is made. At Birchwood 

girls learn what it 

feels like to live kindly 

and respectfully with one 

another. From start to finish, 

they are encouraged to 

care for their own self, and 

for others. The kindred 

connection that is built 

within this setting lasts a 

lifetime. 

1. Resilience and strength 

is learned 

Whether sailing, camping, 

shooting an arrow, or 

making art, every day at 

Birchwood girls are active, 

soulful participants in 

their own lives. The live 

big. They learn handson. 

And they stand taller 

and prouder – and stronger 

- when they go home because 

of it.

“School of Rock” to redefine music education 

Let’s admit it... today’s 

music education is lackluster 

at best, and non-existent 

at worst. 

Thus, “School of Rock” 

decided to redefine music 

education. Our mission is 

to provide performancebased 

music education 

through the lens of modern 

music...you know, the 

tunes kids already rock out 

to on Spotify. 

At the core of School 

of Rock’s philosophy is a 

two-part educational model. 

Students take a weekly 

private lesson with the opportunity 

to have some input 

into their curriculum. 

Our philosophy is, by playing 

tunes the student likes 

to listen to, they’re more 

likely to find practicing 

fun! 

In weekly group band 

rehearsals, students apply 

the skills learned from 

their private lessons. This 

team orientation provides 

accountability and social 

skills development, helping 

the student to develop 

a sense of community and 

purpose. Each season culminates 

in a performance at 

a local rock venue, putting 

the ROCK onstage! 

Our teachers are professional 

musicians who have 

worked in the music industry 

for years. Many of them 

have performed around 

the country, cut albums, 

sold songs to big acts, and 

gig regularly. They bring 

their know-how of the industry 

to their students 

by teaching them the elements 

required to be a true 

pro. Being a real musician 

isn’t just about skill on an 

instrument. Reading chord 

charts, understanding song 

structures, knowing how to 

care for gear, how to book 

a gig, projecting stage presence, 

and much much more 

are often overlooked skills.

WE ROCK THE SUMMER, TOO! 

Rock has open enrollment 

year-round. 

We ROCK the summer, 

too! Outside of our regular 

programming, we also 

feature week-long Summer 

Camps for all ages and 

experience levels. Summer 

2019 features “I Love Rock

Bit Space offers an opportunity to build real things 

Summer camp at Bit 

Space is week-long, project-based 

learning for children 

entering 1st through 

12th grade. Each week, 

we introduce a set of tools, 

techniques, and materials 

to each of three age 

groups. Using the week’s 

theme as a starting point, 

campers work individually, 

in small groups, or as 

a team to create something 

that explores, expresses, 

and expands upon their 

skill and creativity. 

Bit Space is Chicagoland’s 

premier maker lab 

for kids and teens — a 

place where they can learn 

to use real tools to build 

real things. Students work 

with our guides to learn 

how to use hand tools, 

power tools, electronics, 

robotics, 3D printers, laser 

cutters, CNC milling 

machines, computer modeling 

and design software, 

computer game development 

software, virtual reality, 

and new media to 

design and build just about 

anything. We try to live 

up to our goal of inspiring 

and guiding the next generation 

of inventors, entrepreneurs, 

and problem 

solvers by teaching kids 

and teens to be producers 

rather than consumers 

of technology. Our guides 

are experts from the fields 

of architecture, design, engineering, 

and computer 

programming. 

Our youngest campers 

learn to safely and effectively 

use basic hand tools 

and power tools in our 

woodshop, become familiar 

with 2D design software 

and laser cutting, and 

integrate basic circuitry 

and motors into their projects. 

Campers create individual 

projects in a group 

setting. 

Our intermediate campers 

take the next step in 

their “making” journey 

by being introduced to 

programmable electronics 

(Arduino), 3D modeling 

software (Blender), 

3D printing, video game 

development (Unity 3D), 

and video & sound editing 

software. Campers work in 

small groups and collaborate 

to re-imagine the Inter-Act 

Cube every week. 

Our campers entering 

their junior high and high 

school years will determine 

how they will engage 

with the week’s theme and 

choose where and how 

they will make their contribution 

to Friday’s exhibition. 

There are very few 

restrictions as to which 

tools and technologies 

they can use. Higher level 

craftsmanship in physical 

construction, virtual 

reality technology, new 

media, and real coding 

skills are all on the table. 

These campers are paired 

with our most experienced 

maker-educators to maximize 

their potential.

Camp Jorn’s every day camp is an adventure 

For more than 65 years, 

Camp Jorn has provided 

boys and girls the opportunity 

to become part 

of a special community 

focused on character, values, 

self-discovery and 

independence. Camp Jorn 

YMCA is situated on a 

70+ acre peninsula in Wisconsin’s 

Northwoods in 

Manitowish Waters, Wis. 

Camp Jorn YMCA has 

made a commitment to 

ensure a positive and safe 

camping experience for 

each child who attends our 

summer program. Our focus 

on character development 

helps youth to grow 

in the areas of our four 

core values – caring, honesty, 

respect and responsibility. 

Campers range from 

ages 8-17 in age. Camp 

Jorn offers campers the 

opportunity to stay for one 

week or two weeks at a 

time. At Camp Jorn, campers 

will participate in three 

instructional classes per 

day. Other times are dedicated 

to cabin activities. 

The cabin group participates 

in activities such as 

trail rides, tubing, sailing, 

cabin challenges, sports 

and more. Evenings are a 

blast! We have all-camp 

activities such as campfires, 

skits, games such as 

Wells Fargo (think Capture 

the Flag), Granny’s Candy, 

Gold Rush and more. On 

closing night we have our 

Friendship Fire ceremony. 

Teen programs include 

TEVA (13-15 yr. olds) and 

CIT (Counselor in Training 

16+). TEVA offers 

older campers increased 

independence and responsibility, 

with some familiarity 

of traditional summer 

camp. TEVA campers 

reside in Camp Jorn’s Yurt 

Village as a community. 

TEVA campers spend part 

of the day gaining leadership 

skills through an 

array of outdoor skills 

lessons. Cabin activities 

are focused on serviceleadership 

and preparing 

(training) for their wilderness 

trip. Campers also 

get the experience of outdoor 

cooking in TEVA’s 

own outdoor kitchen. Each 

TEVA session includes the 

opportunity to experience 

a wilderness canoe or back 

packing trip. TEVAs will 

leave camp with a greater 

sense of themselves and 

skills to be a leader. CITs 

will work closely with 

members of the counseling 

team and leadership staff 

while going through training. 

Their schedule will 

consist of spending time 

with our day camp and 

resident camp programs 

to gain group management 

and youth development 

skills through experiential 

learning.

Karzen family combines tennis and basketball day camps 

The summer is a great 

time to improve! Our 

camps provide an enthusiastic, 

positive playing 

environment for students 

to practice their technical 

skills, learn how to compete, 

and have fun as they 

do it. With over 70 years 

combined teaching experience, 

Jerry and John Karzen 

return to captain multiple 

tennis and basketball 

offerings for children of all 

ages. (5-18 for tennis, 4-14 

for basketball). Tennis 

campers start in our little 

sprouts program (ages 5-7 

at NSRC), then move on 

to our tennis camp, (ages 

8-13 at NSRC) then to our 

tournament camp (ages 11- 

14), our high school tennis 

(ages 13-18), and finally 

high performance classes. 

Basketball campers start in 

our little dribblers program 

(ages 5-7), and then move 

on to the main camps (ages 

8-14). 

We keep a 4:1 studentto-instructor 

ratio for tennis, 

a 6:1 ratio for basketball, 

and offer flexible 

weekly or daily sign-ups. 

The fun begins June 10th 

and runs through August 

16th. Located at North 

Shore Racquet Club, and 

the New Trier Northfield 

(West) campus, students 

can learn tennis, basketball 

or both! We offer morning 

and afternoon tennis & 

basketball options, as well 

as full day “combo” camps. 

i.e. Basketball 9-12, lunch 

12-1, (campers bring their 

own lunch), Tennis 1-3:30, 

or vice versa. 

Jerry, the tennis director,

Soccer organization provides fun, 

competitive environment for youth 

American Youth Soccer 

Organization (AYSO) 

425 was founded when 

the recreational soccer 

leagues from Glencoe, Kenilworth, 

Northfield and 

Winnetka combined their 

youth soccer programs and 

joined AYSO. 

Today, more than 1,200 

children between the ages 

of 4-14 participate in the 

program. AYSO 425 is one 

of the strongest AYSO regions 

in the country. 

AYSO is celebrating its 

53rd 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 more than 

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. 

As a youth sports organization, 

AYSO 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. 

AYSO 425 teams up 

with international and 

American professional 

soccer trainers to provide 

top notch soccer instruction 

for AYSO’s players 

and expand the programs 

that AYSO 425 

offers. Throughout the 

year AYSO 425 provides 

professional trainers with 

fall and spring training 

programs for all ages, team 

coaching, coaches clinics 

and after-school clinics. 

AYSO’s camps for 2018 

will run between July 16- 

20 and Aug. 13-17. 

If you are interested

Music Theater Works Summer Workshop builds 

confidence on stage, with all students guaranteed parts 

For the past 18 summers, 

children from 8 to 

13 have learned about musical 

theater firsthand at 

Music Theater Works in 

Wilmette. 

“I think it was Hannah 

who convinced me we really 

had a good thing going,” 

recalls general manager 

Bridget McDonough, when 

asked about her favorite 

memories of the company’s 

summer workshop 

programs. “Hannah was a 

sassier, more self-assured 

Nathan Detroit in “Guys 

and Dolls” than any tenyear-old 

little red-haired 

girl had a right to be! 

“I was flabbergasted 

when I found out later 

that on the first day of the 

workshop, Hannah’s mom 

approached our director to 

say her daughter had never 

been on stage before and 

might need a little extra 

coaching and coaxing to 

get over her shyness. Believe 

me, on stage that girl 

was not shy!” 

Performing offers so 

many benefits to young 

people: it builds confidence, 

enhances observational 

and analytical skills, 

fosters teamwork and, 

above all, is a lot of fun. 

At Music Theater Works, 

children get to sing, dance 

and act, in a nurturing and 

fun atmosphere. No experience 

or audition is required, 

and everyone gets 

a part. “Our staff does a 

wonderful job giving each 

of the kids their moment to 

shine, regardless of their 

experience level,” says 

McDonough. 

Young people ages 8 

to 13 learn from professional 

teaching artists to 

prepare a performance of 

a mini-musical. “You’d be 

amazed at what these kids 

accomplish in only six 

days,” McDonough says. 

“I know Hannah’s parents 

were!” 

Five separate one-week 

workshops will be offered 

this summer, based 

on popular musicals. 

Each workshop is Monday 

through Friday from 

9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the 

Music Theater Works rehearsal 

center, 516 4th St. 

in Wilmette. On Saturday, 

students gather for a final 

dress rehearsal at 1 p.m. 

and offer a free public performance 

for family and 

friends at 4 p.m. 

The 2019 schedule is 

“Annie” July 8-13 

“Fiddler on the Roof” 

July 15-20 

“Joseph and the Amazing 

Technicolor Dreamcoat” 

July 22-27 

“Chitty Chitty Bang 

Bang” July 29-August 3 

“42nd Street” August 

5-10 

The fee is $425 per student 

per workshop. Scholarships 

are available based 

on need. 

In addition, a staged 

summer teen production 

of “How to Succeed in 

Business Without Really 

Trying” is offered for ages 

13 to 18 (June 13-29, with 

performance on June 29 

at 7:30 p.m.). Each role 

is individually cast from 

auditions. The production 

features professional costumes, 

sound and lighting. 

Fee is $1,325 per student.

How to pick the right camp for your kid 

Staff Report 

So you’ve decided to send 

your child (or children) to camp? 

Congratulations, but how do 

you pick which one is best? 

Well, it’s a matter of finding a 

balance between finding a comfortable 

place for your child and 

challenging him or her with the 

camp experience. 

For example, let’s say you 

have a girl who’s active, a big 

Chicago Bulls fan and a good 

player on her park district basketball 

team. Basketball camp is 

probably a good place for your 

daughter to spend some of her 

summer to develop her love for 

the game; harness her shooting, 

dribbling, passing and defensive 

skills; make friends with similar 

interests; and remain active during 

her normal team’s offseason. 

This is an example of a camp 

that would be comfortable for 

your daughter and her skill set. 

But let’s also say she’s an 

outdoorswoman-in-training. Although 

she’s not a member of the 

Girl Scouts of the United States 

of America, she likes camping 

and hiking when your family 

vacations at national parks. It 

would be a bit of a challenge to 

send her to a canoeing, kayaking 

and camping summer getaway 

because it would test her homelearned 

skills. 

The key to finding the right 

camp for your child is talking 

with him or her to determine 

what your kid wants to do for the 

summer. You should sit down 

and discuss about both sides’ 

goals for the school break. 

Maybe presenting pamphlets 

from several possible camps — 

ranging from more comfortable 

options in line with your child’s 

interests to camps that would be 

more outside your kid’s comfort 

zone — and hashing out where 

your child stands on the matter 

is best. Having all the possible 

information in front of the whole 

family is key. 

Also, consult with the parents 

of your child’s friends to see if 

it’s possible to send your kid to 

the same camp as theirs. This 

way, you can more easily challenge 

your child with the type of 

camp while keeping a semblance 

of comfort by means of your 

kid’s friends their for support 

and camaraderie. 

There could be another path: 

Perhaps your kid doesn’t want to 

go to camp at all. There’s always 

the old saying that kids might 

be kicking and screaming when 

they show up and camp, but 

when parents come to pick them 

up, they don;t want to leave. 

This adage is nice and all, and 

sometimes it is the case that kids 

end up loving the camp they 

dreaded at the beginning of the 

summer. But it might not be the 

best idea to force your child into 

weeks of a camp he or she really 

doesn’t want to attend. 

Again, family discussion is 

probably the best course here. 

At any rate, just make sure to 

not send you child to any summertime 

retreat called Camp 

Crystal Lake.

SNAP’s maintaining structure in a free environment 

Each summer kids run 

wild and free, but can 

have trouble adjusting 

back to a classroom environment 

when school 

rolls around each fall. 

Additionally, without 

school, kids no longer 

have art classes incorporated 

into their daily 

schedule and the lack of a 

creative outlet can pose a 

real problem to maintaining 

well-rounded development. 

Lastly, a physical 

release is integral to 

keeping kids healthy in 

mind and body. Summer 

camps are great at 

creating structure over 

the summer, but often 

fall short in developing 

classroom discipline and 

providing both a physical 

and creative outlet. 

One type of camp, however, 

holds up in all three 

categories - dance camp! 

This summer, give your 

kids the gift of dance by 

registering for one of 

Studio North Academy of 

the Performing Arts’ various 

summer programs, 

carefully crafted to help 

your child succeed. For 

your littlest ones, there’s 

Flowers, Fairies, and 

Princesses, where teachers 

combine arts and 

dance. Students ages 3 to 

6 will get to explore Ballet, 

Tap and Jazz as well 

as execute daily art projects. 

This camp is offered 

the week of August 12th, 

and you can choose a 

morning or afternoon session. 

On Your Toes Camp 

is a performance-oriented 

program intended for students 

from 7 to 13. In the 

mornings, students will 

take Ballet, Jazz, Modern, 

or Lyrical with a rotating 

set of instructors, allowing 

them to experience 

a variety of dance and 

teaching styles. These 

back-to-back classes 

will help students work 

their ability to focus, a 

skill vital to a successful 

academic year. In the 

afternoon, dancers will 

work on various pieces, 

culminating in a performance 

every Friday! 

In addition to working 

in the beautiful studios, 

dancers will be given 90 

minutes between classes 

and rehearsal to soak in 

the great outdoors; eating 

lunch, playing, and 

often rehearsing their 

“Kids’ Dance” - the ultimate 

creative outlet. You 

can register for On Your 

Toes Camp by the week 

or session (8 weeks)! 

Lastly, for the advanced 

dancer, ages 13 and up, 

SNAP offers week-long 

Intensives that will train 

your child both artistically 

and physically. 

They will study various 

styles of concert dance, 

each providing their own 

unique scope of valuable 

skills. Summer is a great 

time to relax, but is also 

a great opportunity to 

further your child’s artistic 

and physical potential 

keep them sharp for the 

coming year. This summer, 

keep your child’s 

development on track 

with SNAP’s Summer 

Programs!

North Shore Camp 

Expo provides ‘onestop 

shop for families’ 

Eric DeGrechie, Managing Editor 

Since 2015, the North Shore Camp 

Expo has served as the perfect spot for 

those seeking information about all things 

camp. 

“We’ve watched it grow each year in 

popularity,” said Heather Warthen, chief 

events officer of organizer 22nd Century 

Media. “We love being able to offer a 

one-stop shop for families that may be 

searching for the right camp or opportunity 

for their child.” 

For the second straight year, the expo 

will be held at Northbrook Court, 1515 

Lake Cook Road, in the lower level of 

Macy’s Court. The fun runs from 10 a.m.- 

2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23. This event will 

offer camps — both day and overnight 

from across the Midwest region — a 

chance to meet potential camp attendees 

and for local businesses to connect with 

camping families. 

“Attendees will be able to find information 

on both day and overnight camps as 

well as local businesses that target children 

and their families,” Warthen said. 

“We wanted everything to be in one central 

location this year. We also have a 

great variety of camps including sports 

and the arts so there is definitely something 

for every child.” 

The expo is sponsored by Banner Day 

Camp and Lake Forest Academy. A free 

bag is available for the first 200 Camp 

Expo attendees. Free face painting and 

balloon animals runs from 10:30 a.m.- 

1:30 p.m. There will also be a free photo 

booth sponsored by PlayGround Games. 

The event is free to attend. For more

Top-ranked Christian Heritage Academy in Northfield offers 

distinctly Christian summer camps 

For 35 years, CHA has 

integrated faith with academic 

excellence, serving 

thousands of families from 

northern Chicagoland with 

an exemplary Christian 

education for Preschool to 

12th grade. 

Ranked #1 in Illinois. 

CHA’s early education 

programs offer age-appropriate, 

research-based 

learning experiences, 

focused on nurturing a 

child’s faith, curiosity and 

love of learning. Academic 

rigor continues through 

all grades, earning CHA 

the ranking of #1 Best 

Christian High School two 

years in a row by Niche. 

com, an independent ranking 

agency. This rating is 

based on high standardized 

test scores and college 

acceptances, including 

University of Chicago, 

Northwestern University, 

Duke University, University 

of Illinois (Urbana- 

Champaign), Purdue University, 

Wheaton College, 

and Calvin College. 

33 Summer Camps. 

CHA brings this high level 

of excellence to its full 

range of summer camps 

for Preschool-12th grade. 

ATHLETIC CAMPS include 

basketball, volleyball, 

soccer, as well as 

Strength & Conditioning 

camps taught by Tommy 

Christian, one of the nation’s 

top sports performance 

coaches, from the 

Northwestern University 

football team. Arts camps 

include music, drama, 

Broadway and filmmaking. 

Others include American 

Law, Languages, and 

Speech & Parliamentary 

Debate, led by coaches 

who have for years led students 

to national championships. 

STEAM Camps! CHA’s 

Early Education Department 

will offer the popular 

STEAM Summer Camps 

for 3-8 year-olds again. 

This highly creative camp 

offers weeks focusing on 

science experiments, coding, 

robotics, engineering, 

art and more. Camp 

Director Kathy Severson 

states, “As an early education 

professional, I desire 

to see children practice 

literacy, math, science 

and the arts in hands-on, 

high-interest ways. Our 

STEAM camp activities 

integrate research with favorite 

childhood activities 

of old, to create intentional 

learning opportunities that 

will nurture your child’s 

curiosity and build great 

summer memories.” 

“Distinctly Christian.” 

What makes the CHA experience 

unique is that its 

programs are taught by 

qualified teachers who are 

Christian role models in 

faith and life. Shirley Lee 

of Glenview remarked regarding 

her child’s camp 

experience, “It is so rare 

to find a group of individuals 

who care and love 

these kids in such a godly 

manner.” The result of this 

unique approach over the 

course of a student’s life... 

is fully equipped followers 

of Christ who excel in not 

only in academics, arts and 

athletics, but in character, 

leadership and service to 

their community and to the 

world.

Try new things, make new friends, have fun this 

summer with the Glenview Park District 

Put down the technology 

and get ready for a funfilled 

summer at the Glenview 

Park District. It’s 

time for our youngest residents 

to try something different, 

make new friendships, 

gain a new hobby, 

explore the outdoors and 

make wonderful memories 

in the sun. Glenview Park 

District staff members provide 

an environment that 

encourages kids to step 

out of their comfort zone 

and build self-esteem in 

an enjoyable environment. 

The best summer camps 

provide the perfect combination 

of adventure, fun, 

friendship and safety, and 

it’s all right here. 

The Summer Camps 

brochure is a great place 

to start. We encourage 

parents to browse through 

the offerings together with 

their children. What sparks 

their interest? Which ones 

are they curious about? 

Talk about it, then sign

camps feature all the best 

of summer like swimming, 

sports, arts and crafts, theatre, 

counselor-in-training 

programs, theme days, 

outdoor games, farming

physical activities. 

New this year is Camp 

Willowbrook! It’s designed 

for students of 

Glenview/Northbrook 

School District 30 whose 

classroom time ends earlier 

in the season and extends 

later into the summer 

due to the building 

of the new Maple School. 

Campers can also sign up 

for before and after care at 

the Northbrook Park District. 

We’ll have a bus to 

get students from Northbrook 

to Glenview. Summer 

Explorers is another 

new camp which features 

a longer day for ages 5-6. 

These campers spend the 

majority of their day outdoors 

with age appropriate 

activities and themes. 

We will be entering our 

second year of Summer 

Enrichment in partnership 

with Glenview School 

District 34. The Glenview 

Park District is thrilled to 

present these classes once 

again and work with so 

many talented teachers 

from District 34. It’s going 

to be a good time with programs 

like these: Create a 

Character, Hooked on Crochet, 

Math Madness, Outdoor 

Adventures, Tabletop 

Board Gaming and Higher 

Level Basketball Skills. 

Sports-minded kids 

have a lot of opportunities 

here. We offer everything 

from lacrosse to baseball, 

football, volleyball, poms, 

dance, tumbling, cheerleading, 

tennis, golf and 

paddle tennis.

seeking, check out these 

titles: Robotics & Visual 

Programming, Coding & 

Game Design and Camp 

Hollywood for Super Heroes. 

There is no shortage 

of classes for the Young 

Rembrandt. We will be 

teaching little artists to 

draw zoo animals, postersized 

ice cream cones, enchanted 

forests and dragons 

with pastel chalks. 

Sign up for half-day and 

full-day camps ranging in 

length from two to five 

days a week. Among our 

new camp offerings: Summer 

Explorers for ages 5-6 

and Center Studio Dance 

Camp for ages 6-13. Doors 

will open early this year. 

We’ll begin checking 

campers in 10 minutes 

before camp begins each 

day to allow more time for 

camp activities. Hope to 

see you there!

Great tips for an outdoor winter adventure 

StatePoint 

There’s no need to resign 

yourself to the gym all winter 

long. Outdoor adventures 

are the perfect way to 

stay fit and have fun, even 

during the chilliest months 

of the year. 

All it takes to stay comfortable 

is the right gear and 

a bit of preparation. With 

that in mind, check out these 

tips for a great season. 

• Get an Early Start: Remember 

that winter 

means early sunsets. So, 

get your journey started 

early in the morning to 

take advantage of the limited 

sunlight. Plan your 

hike or other outdoor adventure 

carefully, knowing 

how long you expect 

it to take and be sure your 

pack includes a flashlight 

or headlamp. In the event 

you are still on the trail 

as the sun sets, you’ll be 

happy you did. 

• Stretch: Before getting 

started, be sure to give 

your muscles time to 

warm up. To avoid injury, 

it is always important 

to do a dynamic stretch 

workout before embarking 

on a workout, but it 

becomes especially important 

in cold weather. 

• Stay Informed: High-quality 

wearable tech is crucial 

for today’s outdoor enthusiast. 

Seek out a durable 

watch specifically designed 

to help you make 

the most of outdoor sports. 

The WSD-F20AGN from 

Casio, boasts a variety 

of popular outdoors and 

sports apps, including 

ViewRanger, Hole19, Ski 

Tracks, and more. Additional 

features include 

water resistance up to 50 

meters, a digital compass, 

altimeter, barometer and 

an activity tracker. And 

with Wear OS by Google 

technology, you can use 

your timepiece to learn 

about your surroundings 

and support you in the 

things you want to do, for 

a safer, more connected 

journey. 

• Cover Up: You may be 

working up heat but 

you’ll still want to keep 

your head, fingers and 

toes well-protected in 

cold weather temperatures. 

These are the areas 

of the body most vulnerable 

to frost bite. Select 

socks, gloves and a hat 

specifically designed for 

sports that offers moisture 

wicking, comfort and 

warmth. Be aware of the 

signs of frostbite and take 

care to get indoors at the 

earliest sign. 

This winter, don’t shy 

away from the great outdoors. 

A little preparation 

can help you make the 

most of an outdoor adventure.

First aid tips for campers 

Eric DeGrechie, Managing Editor 

Camping can be an especially rewarding 

activity for children and families 

alike, but amidst the fun is serious 

potential for dangerous situations. 

The American Red Cross of Northern 

Illinois understands this firsthand. 

The agency serves more than 9.5 million 

people in northern Illinois. It is 

made up of more than 4,000 volunteers, 

who locally respond to 1,200 

disasters every year and teach more 

than a quarter million people in Chicagoland 

health, safety and disaster 

preparedness skills. 

Whether you’re sending your children 

off to summer camp or heading 

out to the woods for a family camping 

trip, it’s very important to have 

a well-stocked first aid kit in case of 

emergencies. 

First aid kits come in many shapes 

and sizes. The Red Cross suggests 

people should keep a first aid kit in 

their home and car. They also say to 

carry a first aid kit with you or know 

where you can find one. It is also important 

to find out the location of first 

aid kits where you work. 

First aid kits are available for purchase 

at the American Red Cross of 

Northern Illinois headquarters, The 

Rauner Center, 2200 W. Harrison St., 

Chicago, IL 60612. To learn more
