Camp Birchwood’s countdown to confidence 

Camp values that make 

a difference 

No. 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. 

No. 9. Girls do cool stuff 

Studies indicate that girls tend to 

base their self-worth on their relationships 

rather than “hard skills” 

or actual accomplishments. At 

Birchwood, girls get off the roller 

coaster of “what others think” and 

start doing. What they gain is a 

kind of “know how” no one can 

ever take away. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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. 

No. 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 hands-on. And they stand 

taller and prouder – and stronger 

- when they go home because of it.

Try new things, make new friends, have fun this 

summer with the Glenview Park District 

Put down the technology and 

get ready for a fun-filled 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 up and get ready 

for an exciting experience. Day 

camps feature all the best of 

summer like swimming, sports, 

arts and crafts, theatre, counselor-in-training 

programs, theme 

days, outdoor games, farming 

and plenty of mental and 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. 

If it’s technology they’re 

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, 

poster-sized ice cream cones, enchanted 

forests and dragons with 

pastel chalks. 

Sign up for half-day and fullday 

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!

scratch. From the recipe 

reading home chef to the 

gastronomy obsessed

is sure to satisfy any 

foodie’s curiosity and palate. 

The cost is $350 and 

space is limited to just 16 

students. 

Cooking camps are offered 

all summer (June 

10-August 23)—and on 

every school holiday, including 

spring and winter 

breaks. 

“At Taste Buds Kitchen, 

we bring people together 

to create memories 

around cooking together 

– regardless of age or 

skill level,” said Kitchen 

Owner, Amanda Marijanovic.

mommy and me class or 

a weekly cooking class in 

our kitchen or at a partner 

school, we engage and 

delight budding chefs age 

2-99 with experiences that 

are creative, unique and

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, WI. 

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. 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 service-leadership 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. 

Camp Jorn does provide scholarships 

to campers as we never want anyone to 

miss out on camp. 

You won’t want to miss out on a summer 

at Camp Jorn.

How to supplement 

classroom learning at home 

StatePoint Media 

While school provides 

children with a wealth of 

knowledge, parents are 

often looking for ways to 

support a wider range of 

development at home. 

Consider the following 

ideas to engage children 

outside the classroom. 

After-School Activities 

Enrolling your children 

in a range of after-school 

activities can help identify 

where their talents 

and interests lie. It’s also a 

great opportunity for kids 

to learn new things, build 

new skills in a less formal 

setting than the classroom. 

Interactive Technology 

Kids love technology, 

so use that to your advantage 

to get them excited 

about learning. Featuring 

a curriculum designed 

by a team of educational 

experts, LeapStart 3D is 

a device for kids that can 

help them explore reading, 

counting, problem solving 

and more through fun 

activities with 3D-like animations 

that can be played 

again and again. 

With this tool from 

LeapFrog, kids ages 2-7 

can engage with real 

books, games, stories, 

learn-to-read activities, 

creative challenges, problem-solving 

puzzles, math 

mazes and more. 

Historical Figure Day 

Combine artistic creativity 

with educational 

facts and host a historical 

figure day. Invite your 

children and their friends 

to role play by creating 

costumes and dressing up 

as their favorite characters 

from the past. 

Banner Preschool Summer 

Camp offers engaging activities 

Serving the North Shore community 

for over four decades, Banner 

continues to educate during the most 

developmental years of one’s life: 

childhood. 

According to Owner/Executive 

Director Alex Lipscomb, she and her 

team go beyond preparing children 

for kindergarten; they prepare them 

for life. 

“At Banner, our philosophy is to 

educate and strengthen the young 

child by establishing a healthy foundation 

so that their lives may be full of 

optimal achievement and happiness,” 

Lipscomb said. 

In Fall 2018, Banner Preschool 

moved to a new location at Am Yisrael 

in Northfield across from New 

Trier West. This beautiful space allows 

natural light into classrooms and easy 

access to outdoor spaces for exploration 

and play. 

“Banner Bunch Summer Camp” is 

returning for Summer 2019, running 

from June 17 through August 16 from 

9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 

“Our perspective is to provide 

some balance for the modern child 

by remaining tech and media-free and 

spending as much time outdoors as 

possible. Banner campers and parents 

wait all year for Banner Camp to return,” 

Lipscomb said. 

Campers will experience engaging 

activities such as nature walks, gardening, 

games, obstacle courses, cooking, 

baking and music. 

Banner certified teachers and veteran 

counselors create a personal 

connection with each and every 

child. This individualized camp experience 

encourages children to explore 

their world and engage in creative 

play and learning. 

“Our children learn by doing,” Lipscomb 

said. “At Banner, your child 

has time to grow, ask questions, be curious, 

make choices, explore, experiment, 

discover and be.” 

Banner Bunch is for children ages 

3- 6 with options for 2, 3, and 5 attendance. 

These campers must be potty 

trained. “Bitty” Bunch meets T/Th 

for children 2 ½ + and/or not yet potty 

trained. 

“Bridge” camp returns from June 3 

to June 14 from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. Monday-Friday 

for children ages 2- 6; potty 

trained not mandatory. Before Care 

available from 8 to 9 a.m. and After 

Care from 1 to 4 p.m. Parents can pick 

and choose their days. 

Registration for Banner’s Preschool 

Summer Camp is open now. Information
