Release your kids’ inner innovator at Galileo Summer Camps<br />
While it’s their 19th<br />

thrilled to be heading into<br />
their fifth year in the Chicagoland<br />
area. Galileo<br />
engages every kid with an<br />

prouder of our talented, professional<br />
staff, so many of<br />
whom return each and every<br />
year. Galileo has been the<br />
winner of 37 “best camp”<br />
awards and 96 percent of<br />
parents would recommend<br />
Galileo to a friend.<br />
“Not only is our son<br />
gaining incredibly valuable<br />
skills in risk-taking, grit,<br />
collaboration and innovation<br />
but he comes home every<br />
single day with a huge<br />
smile on his face and so<br />
much to share! Thank you!”<br />

Feel the performer’s<br />
spirit at Music<br />
Theater Works<br />
On five Mondays this<br />
summer, a group of young<br />
people will gather, and<br />
they will share a single<br />
thought: “Five days to<br />
showtime.”<br />
At the Music Theater<br />
Works Summer Workshops,<br />
performers ages<br />
8 to 13 gather for a week<br />
of rehearsals, singing,<br />
dancing and acting in<br />
preparation for a musical<br />
performance on Saturday<br />
fortheir friends and family.<br />
Each week is a separate<br />
session, and this year the<br />
shows include “The Wizard<br />
of Oz” (July 6-11),<br />
“Seussical” (July 13-18),<br />
“Legally Blonde” (July<br />
20-25), “Guys and Dolls”<br />
(July 27- Aug. 1) and<br />
“Cinderella” (Aug. 3-8).<br />
Putting together a show<br />
in five days makes for an<br />
exciting week, as all are<br />
assigned parts, learn their<br />
songs and practice their<br />
dances until everything is<br />
ready for the big show. It’s<br />
a lot of work, but that has<br />
never seemed to bother the<br />
workshop participants —<br />
they’re having too much<br />
fun.<br />
For many kids, the<br />
workshops give them their<br />
first taste of performing<br />
in musical theater. Many<br />
have gone in as absolute<br />
beginners and emerged as<br />
enthusiastic performers,<br />
eager for their next challenge.<br />
After last year’s workshops,<br />
one mother wrote<br />
to us that her daughter<br />
“was completely taken by<br />
her experiences in camp<br />
last summer. It unlocked a<br />
beautiful part of her and it<br />
has allowed her to blossom<br />
like nothing else she’s ever<br />
experienced. Truly lifechanging.”<br />
Workshop manager<br />
Anya Plotkin is a big fan<br />
of the workshops’ “tagteam”<br />
casting style, in<br />
which everyone is guaranteed<br />
a part.<br />
“Of course, we all want<br />
to be the star of the show!<br />
In our program, each and<br />
every student has an equal<br />
solo. All our kids get their<br />
chance to shine, regardless<br />
of prior experience,”<br />
Plotkin said. “When we do<br />
‘Annie,’ we may have seven<br />
Annies and four Daddy<br />
Warbucks and six Miss<br />
Hannigans! The kids learn<br />
that being part of a team is<br />
a vital element to a great<br />
performance.”<br />
But Plotkin is convinced<br />
the most important part of<br />
the program is how it fosters<br />
self-confidence in the<br />
young performers.<br />
“The rehearsal room is a<br />
safe place for all our kids<br />
to explore who they are,<br />
without fear of censure or<br />
discouragement,” Plotkin<br />
said. “As they grow as<br />
performers, they also grow<br />
as people. They step into<br />
someone else’s shoes, they<br />
make new best friends,<br />
they learn things they never<br />
thought possible before,<br />
we open them up to new<br />
experiences and new ways<br />
of thinking.”<br />
“We help our students<br />
every day, through a love<br />
of music, dance, acting,<br />
and each other,” Plotkin<br />
added.<br />

to encourage play, inspire<br />
creativity, pique curiosity<br />
and promote collaboration.<br />
Each day of camp is assigned<br />

Gow offers rich<br />
opportunities for<br />
dyslexic students<br />
The Gow School is a college-prep<br />
boarding school<br />
for students, grades 6-12,<br />
with dyslexia and similar<br />
language-based learning<br />
disabilities. Focusing on<br />
small class sizes, 3 to 7 students<br />
per class, and a low<br />
four-to-one student to faculty<br />
ratio, The Gow School<br />
offers a multisensory approach<br />
to teaching that enables<br />
dyslexic students to<br />
thrive. The Gow community<br />
has a sense of belonging,<br />
of equality, and of connection<br />
born on common trials<br />
and shared triumph.<br />
Gow has a start fast, finish<br />
strong mentality and<br />
students typically start to<br />
see progress soon after<br />
they step foot in our classrooms.<br />
Progress typically<br />
comes quickly, soon after<br />
they invest themselves<br />
in the program. At the<br />
school’s core is a structured<br />
program designed to<br />
help students navigate the<br />
academic day and a daily<br />
schedule designed to keep<br />
students busy. Between<br />
a packed class schedule,<br />
after-school sports, study<br />
hall and Saturday classes,<br />
there is little unprogrammed<br />
time.<br />
The School is settled on<br />
a 120-acre campus which<br />
gives our students plenty<br />
of room to learn and play.<br />
Boarding school life does<br />
not always allow lots of<br />
free time, but it has plenty<br />
of room for fun. Students<br />
are so involved – playing<br />
sports, going on trips and<br />
hanging out with each other<br />
– that they get the most<br />
out of the rich residential<br />
experience.<br />
In July, the School’s coed<br />
summer program is five<br />
weeks of learning and fun<br />
for ages 8 to 16. The Gow<br />
School summer program is<br />
for students who have been<br />
experiencing academic difficulties,<br />
or have been diagnosed<br />
with dyslexia or<br />
specific learning disabilities.<br />
The summer program<br />
runs from the end of June<br />
to early August with morning<br />
academics, afternoon<br />
fun and games and weekend<br />
adventures. The Gow<br />
School summer program<br />
gives students academic<br />
tools and self-confidence<br />
they can take with them<br />
wherever they go; to the<br />
classroom and beyond.<br />
By combining a structured<br />
program and environment<br />
with flexibility,<br />
individualization and room<br />
for fun, Gow provides a<br />
rich school experience that<br />
is precisely what dyslexic<br />
students need to learn and<br />
to enjoy learning.<br />

Countryside Day School offers<br />
‘awe-inspiring’ camp experience<br />
Countryside Day<br />
School, a renowned institution<br />
in Northbrook for<br />
more than 50 years, continues<br />
to fill a niche in the<br />
educational market by providing<br />
students 16 months<br />
through eighth grade with<br />
an unique learning experience<br />
that emphasizes not<br />
only rigorous academic<br />
studies but also the development<br />
of critical character<br />
skills essential for success<br />
not just in school, but<br />
more importantly in life.<br />
Countryside is committed<br />
to working in partnership<br />
with parents to help young<br />
people become more than<br />
great students but also exceptional<br />
adults.<br />
Summer can be an excellent<br />
time to find out<br />
more about this world<br />
class school. Camps are<br />
offered for students 3–12<br />
years old at two-week intervals<br />
beginning June 15<br />
and are taught by Countryside’s<br />
highly experienced<br />
and dedicated faculty.<br />
Camps for children 3–6<br />
years blend classroom experience<br />
with themes like<br />
the science of cooking,<br />
study of safari animals, or<br />
fundamental reading intensive<br />
with outdoor play<br />
and daily swimming in<br />
their backyard pool.<br />
For students 6–12 years<br />
old, camp themes including<br />
writing and performing<br />
a children’s opera,<br />
Master Chef Junior, coding<br />
and gaming with Code<br />
Ninjas in Glenview, and<br />
Pinewood Derby — also<br />
with outdoor play and<br />
swimming. These programs<br />
are all small group<br />
experiences, not mixed in<br />
with hundreds of campers.<br />
Faculty at Countryside<br />
understand education in a<br />
broader and deeper context<br />
than conventional schools.<br />
They see school as an internship<br />
to adulthood in<br />
which students develop a<br />
strong sense of agency and<br />
empathy. Countryside students<br />
feel a deep responsibility<br />
to make a contribution.<br />
This is accomplished<br />
in classes that are “microsocieties”<br />
designed to emulate<br />
real life, with mixed<br />
ages, the expectation to<br />
take initiative, permission<br />
to follow interests which<br />
develops deep concentration<br />
and an intrinsic love<br />
of learning, and room to<br />
learn that failing is necessary<br />
in order to accomplish<br />
great things.<br />
This great work is<br />
also accomplished with<br />
uniquely strong one-to-one<br />
student-teacher relationships<br />
where teachers do<br />
more than offer academic<br />
content but also serve as<br />
mentors to their students.<br />
Teachers’ knowledge of<br />
each individual student is<br />
one of the most treasured<br />
aspects of the Countryside<br />
experience by both<br />
students and parents alike.<br />
It is also what makes the<br />
role of teaching so inspiring<br />
that Countryside Day<br />
enjoys very little teacher<br />
turnover.<br />
The final piece of the<br />
Countryside success strategy<br />
is a close working relationship<br />
with parents in<br />
which faculty share observations<br />
of their students,<br />
seek information from<br />
parents about what they<br />
see at home, and make<br />
recommendations regarding<br />
parenting based on the<br />
expert, collective experience<br />
of master teachers.<br />
The CDS faculty is keenly<br />
aware of the changes in<br />
culture that are impacting<br />
children and families and<br />
how these changes are affecting<br />
the development of<br />
young people.<br />
Countryside’s website,<br />
countrysideday.org, is a<br />
great place to start your<br />
research, but families say,<br />
without exception, that<br />
it is a visit to the classrooms<br />
themselves that reveal<br />
the unparalleled and<br />
awe-inspiring educational<br />
experience. Parents are<br />
encouraged to schedule a<br />
personalized tour anytime.<br />

Soccer organization provides fun, competitive environment for youth<br />
American Youth Soccer Organization<br />
(AYSO) 425 was<br />
founded when the recreational<br />
soccer leagues from Glencoe,<br />
Kenilworth, Northfield and<br />
Winnetka combined their youth<br />
soccer programs and joined<br />
AYSO.<br />
Today, more than 1,200 children<br />
between the ages of 4-14<br />
participate in the program.<br />
AYSO 425 is one of the strongest<br />
AYSO regions in the country.<br />
AYSO is celebrating its 53rd<br />
year as the largest youth soccer<br />
organization in the USA. AYSO<br />
was established in the Los Angeles<br />
area in 1964 with nine<br />
teams. It was the dream of a<br />
group of devoted soccer enthusiasts<br />
who started the organization<br />
in a garage. Today, AYSO<br />
has 50,000 teams and more than<br />
500,000 players nation-wide. Its<br />
goal is to provide world-class<br />
youth soccer programs that enrich<br />
children’s lives.<br />
AYSO is supported by<br />
125,000 volunteers. Parents<br />
donate their time as coaches,<br />
referees, team parents, administrators<br />
and sponsors. Along with<br />
being a volunteer-run organization,<br />
AYSO is a partnership of<br />
the area parks departments,<br />
schools and the community.<br />
As a youth sports organization,<br />
AYSO recognizes the importance<br />
of providing a safe<br />
and healthy atmosphere for<br />
children. Over the years, AYSO<br />
has created many valuable programs<br />
and concepts. Most notably,<br />
AYSO revolutionized youth<br />
sports with its Everyone Plays<br />
and Balanced Teams philosophies.<br />
In AYSO, each child who registers<br />
is guaranteed to play at<br />
least half of every game. AYSO<br />
recognizes that games are more<br />
fun when the teams are evenly<br />
matched, so teams are balanced<br />
teams based on each player’s<br />
skill level and the overall ability<br />
of the team.<br />
AYSO 425 teams up with international<br />
and American professional<br />
soccer trainers to provide<br />
top notch soccer instruction<br />
for AYSO’s players and expand<br />
the pro-grams that AYSO 425<br />
offers. Throughout the year<br />
AYSO 425 provides professional<br />
trainers with fall and spring<br />
training programs for all ages,<br />
team coaching, coaches clinics<br />
and after-school clinics.<br />
AYSO’s camps for 2020 will<br />
run between July 13-18 and<br />
Aug. 17-21.<br />

Glenview Park District<br />
offers variety of fun<br />
camp experiences<br />
Make new friendships, lifetime memories,<br />
find a new sport or take in all the wonders<br />
of nature this summer at Glenview<br />
Park District camps. Journey through our<br />
camp brochure which offers something<br />
for every child age 3-17 with the perfect<br />
combination of fun, friendship, adventure<br />
and safety.<br />
Even children as young as two will benefit<br />
from socializing prior to preschool in<br />
a setting with mom or dad in You Are My<br />
Sunshine (YAMS) day camp. Slightly<br />
older kids will enjoy scavenger hunts and<br />
other games on special theme days like<br />
Olympics Day, Water Day, Carnival Day<br />
and more. Our eight week camps offer the<br />
best that summer offers like swimming,<br />
sports, arts and crafts, theatre, dance,<br />
Minecraft, claymation, outdoor games<br />
and farming.<br />
Glenview Park District staff provide<br />
an environment that encourages kids to<br />
step out of their comfort zone and build<br />
self-esteem. After the eight-week session<br />
ends on July 31, the fun keeps going for<br />
one more week with Summer Extension<br />
Camp. Seven to 12-year-olds had this option<br />
last year, but this year, we are opening<br />
it up to younger residents. It’s now<br />
available for children ages 5-12 with optional<br />
before and after care.<br />
Another new camp this year is Camp<br />
Glenview at Crowley Park for ages 11-14.<br />
It includes several field trips each week<br />
throughout the summer. Although the duration<br />
of camp is eight weeks, participants<br />
can sign up week to week. So, you pick<br />
the weeks you want to attend.<br />
We are entering our third year of Summer<br />
Enrichment Programs in partnership<br />
with Glenview School District 34. These<br />
talented teachers are excited as ever to offer<br />

The Glenview Park District offers flexibility.<br />
Sign up for full or half day camps<br />
ranging from two to five days a week. We<br />
also have an “in-between” option for parents<br />
who say, “My child isn’t quite ready<br />
for full day, but could handle more than a<br />
half-day camp.” The Young Adventurers<br />
Camp for 5-6 year olds runs from 9 a.m.-<br />
2 p.m. They experience field trips once a<br />
week and will not visit the outdoor pools.<br />
We want to remind parents that early<br />
bird registration is the best way to go. Not<br />
only are the fees reduced, but families can<br />
also register with a deposit and pay in a<br />
series of installments. Those who register<br />
after March 15 must pay the regular fee<br />
and pay in full at time of registration.<br />
So, put down the technology and experience<br />
summer camp at the Glenview<br />
Park District. Sign up today and save.<br />

Kids become explorers and creators at Noggin Builders camps<br />
How do you build a dunk tank?<br />
What can cooking teach us about<br />
chemistry? What kinds of challenges<br />
would you create if you<br />
made an escape room? These<br />
are just a few of the questions<br />
kids explore in Noggin Builders<br />
camps, where they dive into<br />
different STEM-related themes<br />
each week and follow their curiosity<br />
along new pathways.<br />
At Noggin Builders, we have a<br />
blast creating and experimenting<br />
in classes all year round—but<br />
summer is the time to really dig<br />
in and have fun. Kids collaborate<br />
with each other on projects, and<br />
new friendships are forged while<br />
they’re inventing and learning.<br />
There’s no better way to sharpen<br />
problem-solving and creative<br />
thinking skills while school’s<br />
out.<br />
Whether your kids are in preschool,<br />
elementary school, or<br />
middle school, Noggin Builders<br />
has a place for them to explore<br />
and grow this summer.<br />
Pre-K<br />
Curious kids ages 3 to 5 years<br />
find learning opportunities everywhere<br />
with fun, hands-on<br />
STEM activities. Young campers<br />
will explore how science intersects<br />
with other subjects, from<br />
Da Vinci’s art to Dr. Seuss to dinosaurs.<br />
Pre-K camps run by the<br />
week from May 26 to Aug. 28,<br />
with 3, 4, or 5-day per week options<br />
available (9 a.m.-12 p.m.).<br />

areas of STEM with weekly<br />
themes including Engineering<br />

Green Science, Junior Gadget<br />
Design, LEGO Adventures<br />
and more. Camps run Monday<br />

from June 8 to Aug. 14. Half-day<br />
(9 a.m.-12 p.m.) and full-day (9<br />
a.m.-4 p.m.) options are available.<br />
Entering grades 3-5<br />
Campers enhance their STEM<br />
skills and creative problem solving<br />
as they use their innovation<br />
in Crazy Contraptions, Cool<br />
Chemistry, DIY Circuits, Escape<br />
Room Engineers, Science in the<br />
Kitchen and Camp Invention.<br />
Camps run Monday through Friday,<br />
by the week, from June 8 to<br />

Entering grades 6-8<br />
Turn middle-schoolers’ ingenuity<br />
into action at Maker Camp,<br />

other equipment to design and<br />
build their own creations. Maker<br />

It’s time to rock with Glenbrook’s School of Rock<br />
Get in ahead of the rush to<br />
secure your spot at School of<br />
Rock — Glenbrook, opening<br />
spring 2020. School of<br />
Rock is the world’s leading<br />
performance-based music<br />
school, dedicated to helping<br />
students of all ages and levels<br />
reach their potential both<br />
on and off stage.<br />
We teach drums, guitar,<br />
bass, keyboards, voice and<br />
develop songwriters. Our<br />
students attend both private<br />
lessons and group rehearsals.<br />
The team dynamic creates<br />
a supportive, inclusive<br />
and motivating environment<br />
where kids feel inspired<br />
to excel. We have<br />
programs for ages 4 to 99<br />
that will challenge and inspire<br />
every step of the way!<br />
As we like to say, we put on<br />
shows to teach music. We<br />
do not teach music to put on<br />
shows.<br />
School of Rock — Glenbrook<br />
is brought to you by<br />
the team that owns and operates<br />
the company’s highest-performing<br />
school in<br />
Oak Park.<br />
Summer Camp is a great<br />
introduction to the School<br />
of Rock method and community.<br />
Our camps are<br />
highly immersive and insanely<br />
fun. We offer our full<br />
slate of regular programming<br />
and special workshops<br />
all year long, but<br />
summer also means camp<br />
time. Here is what is on the<br />
slate at School of Rock —<br />
Glenbrook for 2020:<br />
Rock ‘N’ Roll Boot Camp<br />
(June 15-June 19, July 27-<br />
July 31)<br />
Come in with a choice<br />
of instrument and we will<br />
get you started learning the<br />
basics and actually playing<br />
songs with others right<br />
away. No experience necessary<br />
— all it takes is the<br />
desire to rock. Rock ‘n’ Roll<br />
make-overs and a photoshoot<br />
are included. Open to<br />
voice, keys, guitar, bass and<br />
drums. This session culminates<br />
in a gig at our in-house<br />
venue.<br />
Beginner, all instruments,<br />
ages 8 to 13, full day: 9<br />
a.m.-3 p.m.<br />
Rock Rookies Boot Camp<br />
(July 6-July 10)<br />
Rookies is an early music<br />
learner’s program where<br />
students will learn songs by<br />
bands like Queen and Imagine<br />
Dragons to gain fundamental<br />
instrument learning<br />
on appropriately-sized<br />
gear, and learn the basics of<br />
ear training, rhythm, pitch,<br />
song structure, teamwork<br />
and close listening. We use<br />
a house backline of guitars,<br />
bass, drums, keyboards, and<br />
mics so instrument ownership<br />
is not necessary. This<br />
session culminates in a<br />
showcase for families.<br />
Beginner, all instruments,<br />
ages 6 and 7, half day: 9<br />
a.m.-12 p.m.<br />
With the Beatles! Camp<br />
(7/13 - 7/17)<br />
Do you love everything<br />
about John, Paul, George,<br />
and Ringo? So do we. Our<br />
song selection will be customized<br />
to the playing level<br />
of the students and will be<br />
drawn from all of the Beatles’<br />
albums. Ear Training<br />
will be covered and learning<br />
how to build a chord<br />
with voices. We will provide<br />
a great introduction to<br />
the melodies, structure, and<br />
musicianship that made up<br />
this very special band. This<br />
session culminates in a gig<br />
at our in-house venue.<br />
Advanced beginner and<br />
up (please ask), ages 10 and<br />
up, full day: 9 a.m.-3 p.m.<br />
Green Day (8/10 - 8/14)<br />
In honor of this long-time<br />
band that has carried the<br />
punk torch for new generations,<br />
we have designed<br />
a camp that will not only<br />
satisfy your urge to play<br />
hard, fast, melodic poppunk<br />
songs but also to unpack<br />
the band’s approach<br />
to songwriting. Understand<br />
what inspires them, drives<br />
their music and keeps their<br />
songs fresh and relevant.<br />
This session culminates in a<br />
performance at our in-house<br />
venue.<br />
Advanced beginner and<br />
up (please ask), ages 10 and<br />
up, full day: 9 a.m.-3 p.m.<br />

Banner Day Camp ‘has it all’ in the North Shore<br />
Banner Day Camp is<br />
proud to offer the North<br />
Shore’s premier day camp<br />
experience and is so excited<br />
to celebrate its 56th<br />
summer in 2020. When<br />
camp was opened in 1964,<br />
Banner’s desire was to<br />
build a community centered<br />
on compassion, kindness<br />
and joy. This remains<br />
our desire. Over the years<br />
Banner has become home<br />
to so many campers; a<br />
place where they are nurtured,<br />
accepted and a part<br />
of an amazing camp community.<br />
The growth our campers<br />
make socially and emotionally<br />
is life changing.<br />
There is nothing more important<br />
during their formative<br />
years of life than to<br />
give them a place where<br />
they develop deep and<br />
genuine self-confidence<br />
by learning and mastering<br />
new skills, become<br />
increasingly independent,<br />
increase resiliency, practice<br />
empathy and grow in<br />
social skills like friendship,<br />
sportsmanship and<br />
teamwork – all while having<br />
fun.<br />
The facilities and activities<br />
at Banner are second<br />
to none. The wide variety<br />
of activities at camp provide<br />
unique opportunities<br />
for campers to experience<br />
new things. From adventure<br />
activities like the high<br />
ropes course, bungee trampoline<br />
and bumper boats<br />
to swimming in our pool<br />
complex or at our lake,<br />
Banner has it all.<br />
Our team is dedicated to<br />
creating a fun, growthful<br />
summer and an experience<br />
that will be cherished for<br />
a lifetime. Our leadership<br />
Five cool ideas for summer self-improvement<br />
Any time of year makes<br />
a fine time to learn a new<br />
skill, take up an old hobby<br />
or set a goal. Here are five<br />
cool ideas to try:<br />
• Start coding: Whether<br />
you want to switch careers<br />
and become a software<br />
or web developer<br />
or simply take up a new<br />
hobby, learning to code<br />
can open up a world<br />
of possibilities, while<br />
keeping your mind active<br />
and vital. And these<br />
days, free online tutorials<br />
available in dozens<br />
of programming languages,<br />
can help you get<br />
started without any tools<br />
required but time and<br />
dedication.<br />
• Learn to play piano:<br />
Learning a musical instrument<br />
can improve<br />
focus, enhance memory<br />
and reduce stress. For<br />
a fast-track to playing<br />
songs skillfully, check<br />
out the Casio CT-X700,<br />
which features a Step-<br />
Up Lesson system to<br />
easily learn songs from<br />
the keyboard’s builtin<br />
library. The display<br />
shows proper fingering<br />
and notation, and a sixtrack<br />
recorder allows<br />
you to quickly capture<br />
your inspiration.<br />
• Set a reading goal: You<br />
don’t have to be a student<br />
to complete a reading<br />
challenge. Whether<br />
it’s to read 5 non-fiction<br />
books over the course of<br />
a month or get through<br />
that classic tome that’s<br />
been sitting on your<br />
bookshelf for years, give<br />
yourself a reading goal<br />
to achieve.<br />
• Get outdoors: Spending<br />
time exercising in nature<br />
has powerful physical<br />
and mental health<br />
benefits. Give yourself<br />
the motivation needed<br />
to get outdoors with a<br />
wearable device, such as<br />
the WSD F30 Pro Trek<br />
Smart Outdoor Watch,<br />
which includes a builtin<br />
compass, altimeter<br />
and barometer, as well<br />
as a slew of fitness and<br />
nature apps designed to<br />
promote wellness and<br />
help you better appreciate<br />
your surroundings.<br />
• Start saving: If you don’t<br />
have a savings account,<br />
think about opening<br />
one. Make it painless<br />
by having the fund draw<br />
automated monthly payments<br />
from your checking<br />
account. Then sit<br />
back and watch your<br />
savings grow.<br />
Looking for some motivation<br />
for change and<br />
growth? Self-improvement<br />
comes in all shapes<br />
and sizes. Consider devoting<br />
some time to something<br />
new.<br />
team – made up of teachers,<br />
school administrators<br />
and camp professionals<br />
– provide unsurpassed supervision<br />
while developing<br />
partnership with the<br />
parents and the providing<br />
the very best care of the<br />
campers. Banner’s amazing<br />
camp staff undergo extensive<br />
training allowing<br />
them to lead groups and<br />
specialty areas with enthusiasm<br />
and skill.<br />
We encourage you to<br />
visit camp and see for<br />
yourself! Banner’s office<br />

How your family can protect<br />
songbirds around your house and garden<br />
Songbirds are not only<br />
beautiful, they are a vital<br />
component of the ecosystems<br />
they inhabit. If you<br />
have a garden, you may<br />
have observed this in action.<br />
Unfortunately, millions<br />
of wild birds are killed annually<br />
colliding with windows<br />
in the U.S. alone.<br />
But your family can take<br />
action to prevent it from<br />
happening on your own<br />
property. Here’s how:<br />
• Make windows visible<br />
to birds: Special decals<br />
that reflect ultraviolet<br />
sunlight to your home’s<br />
windows, particularly<br />
those windows that are<br />
highly reflective of open<br />
sky, have been proven to<br />
substantially reduce the<br />
likelihood of bird strikes.<br />
Those from WindowAlert<br />
feature patterns that give<br />
the appearance of slightly<br />
frosted translucent glass,<br />
but glow like a stoplight<br />
for birds, and the brand<br />
also makes a high-tech<br />
liquid called WindowAlert<br />
UV Liquid, which can be<br />
applied between decals for<br />
greater protection. More<br />
information can be found<br />
at windowalert.com.<br />
• Be mindful of birdfeeder<br />
placement: Birdfeeders<br />
are a lovely way<br />
to attract beautiful birds<br />
to your yard, while giving<br />
them a place to rest and<br />
refuel. Remember though,<br />
bird strikes tend to occur<br />
near bird feeders, as feeding<br />
birds are easily frightened<br />
and are apt to take<br />
wild, evasive flight. To<br />
avoid this from happening,<br />
be sure to use window decals,<br />
as well as to position<br />
feeders closer than three<br />
feet or farther than 30 feet<br />
from windows. Surprisingly,<br />
the safest placement<br />
is attached to the window<br />
itself. Assess the birdfeeders<br />
in your yard and make<br />
changes as needed.<br />
• Consider other hazards:<br />
Other ways you can<br />
protect birds on your property<br />
include gardening organically,<br />
keeping pet cats<br />
indoors or in an enclosure<br />
and growing native plant<br />
and flower species suited<br />
to pollinating birds.<br />
“With a few small home<br />
updates this season, your<br />
family can save the lives<br />
of wild birds and be better<br />
stewards of the environment,”<br />
said Spencer<br />
Schock, founder of WindowAlert.<br />
Fun ways to develop your children’s interests<br />
The games children play<br />
can inform the way they<br />
see the world. Here are<br />
some fun ways to make<br />
playtime an opportunity<br />
to help young kids explore<br />
new ideas and develop<br />
their interests:<br />
• Art: Dedicate a little<br />
corner of a room to kidfriendly<br />
arts and crafts<br />
projects. Stock the space<br />
with finger paints, watercolors,<br />
play-dough, crayons<br />
and construction paper<br />
to encourage kids to refine<br />
their skills and gain a<br />
deeper appreciation for art.<br />
Have kids draw and paint<br />
from their imagination or<br />
take them on trips to a local<br />
park to capture what<br />
they see.<br />
• Food: Inspire kids’ interest<br />
in the culinary world<br />
with fun toys that let them<br />
be the chef. With the Leap-<br />
Frog Smart Sizzlin’ BBQ<br />
Grill, for example, little<br />
grill masters can pretend<br />
to grill by placing eight<br />
different play food items<br />
on an interactive skewer.<br />
Utensil hooks keep the<br />
tongs and spatula at the<br />
ready to serve steak, fish,<br />
green peppers and more.<br />
The smart grill recognizes<br />
the food’s name and color<br />
and knows if the heat is<br />
too high. Kids can twist<br />
the skewer to count along<br />
with the grill, then turn<br />
the temperature dial from<br />
1 to 10. With sizzling and<br />
cooking sounds, as well as<br />
safety messages, grilling<br />
suggestions, melodies and<br />
phrases, this interactive<br />
grill is a fun way to get<br />
kids interested in cooking<br />
and food.<br />
• Sports: You don’t have<br />
to enroll kids in a formal,<br />
competitive team to spark<br />
an interest in sports. Instead,<br />
get the ball rolling<br />
by going outside to catch,<br />
kick and dribble. Having<br />
an opportunity to practice<br />
sports in a fun, pressurefree<br />
environment will help<br />
kids develop athletic skills<br />
on their own time, while<br />
building their confidence<br />
and opening the door for<br />
a deeper interest in the future.<br />
• Music: It’s never too<br />
early to develop a sense<br />
of rhythm and gain knowledge<br />
of musical genres and<br />
instruments. New toys like<br />
the Learn & Groove Dancing<br />
Panda will inspire kids<br />
to get up and move. The<br />
panda shakes, dances and<br />
spins around to the music<br />
and his guitar lights up<br />
with shapes, letters and<br />
numbers. Kids can play<br />
Freeze Dance and other<br />
games, press the musical<br />
instrument buttons on the<br />
panda’s light-up shoes to<br />
hear a saxophone, trumpet,<br />
drum and guitar, or press<br />
the whammy-bar music<br />
button to select from dozens<br />
of different tunes. The<br />
same line of toys also features<br />
the Learn & Groove<br />
Shakin’ Colors Maracas.<br />
One maraca includes colorful<br />
shaker beads and the<br />
other features a light-up<br />
dome that changes colors<br />
and plays maraca sound<br />
effects. Little ones can<br />
add rattling sounds to the<br />
songs that play, count from<br />
1-10 with every shake,<br />
and press the six light-up<br />
buttons to hear color and<br />
instrument names. Switching<br />
between English and<br />
Spanish mode lets kids explore<br />
all of the content in<br />
both languages.<br />
Young children are absorbing<br />
everything they<br />
see and hear, so be sure to<br />
introduce them to a range<br />
of hobbies through games,<br />
toys and activities.
