How to engage your child in the college conversation.

Consider enrolling your child in a summer program on a college campus. Educate your child about what the college experience will be like. Familiarity drives away the fear of the unknown.

Following freshman or sophomore year of high school, enroll your child in a sports or arts camp on a college campus. Your child will get the feel of living in a dorm and having a bit more freedom than a sleep away camp environment. They can pursue a passion they may not have time to explore during the school year.

Following sophomore or junior year, is the perfect time to expose your child to a pre-college campus experience. If they are not thinking about college yet, this is a way to get a sense of the college experience without the pressure of the college application process. If they are engaged in the college conversation, it is an opportunity to take a couple of courses and to explore what type of campus and community would be a good fit. Not skipping class, doing their homework, choosing between study and play are just a few other skills they will learn.

Wherever your child is in the college admissions process, it is not too late to enroll for this summer. Give us a call for free expert advice on campus based summer programs and other teen experiences.

THINK SUMMER, AND GIVE YOUR CHILD THE GIFT OF CAMP!

Camp: noun, \kamp\

What is your definition of “CAMP?” For adults who grew up going to traditional summer camp, they think of bunks, woods, campfires, songs and, of course, their lasting friendships. For others they really don’t have a set definition of camp. In 2011, camp can still be a full summer living in cabins, s’mores around the fire and swimming in the lake; but it can also be two weeks of dormitory style living with a combination of academic enrichment classes and sports or hobbies. It can be creative or performing arts with a performance for parents at the end. It can be computer programming and design, or a several week wilderness adventure sleeping in tents and exploring different regions of the US or abroad. It can be in Maine, California, Europe, Tanzania or anywhere in between! As families have evolved, so has camping. Camp has become almost a generic name for any appropriate summer program that fits your child’s interests, meets them where they are and stretches them a little further.

Siblings at Camp – Together or Separate

This is the time of year when parents start thinking about summer camp. If your oldest child has already started going to sleep away camp, then the hard part is over. Right?? Well, not always. How do you handle a situation when the second sibling is ready for sleep away camp? Do you automatically send him/her with their older sibling? For some families, it is a “one for all and all for one” approach. There are many advantages to taking this route. The second child has the comfort of their older sibling. They probably also know some of their siblings friends. Seek out those parents and ask if they also have younger children. My son met the younger brother of one of his brother’s friends and they were able to start camp together and have been inseparable since meeting.

What if their interests are totally different? If your oldest child wants a sports camp and your younger child wants an arts camp, are you doomed? Does family trump individuality? If so, speak to the camp director, many camps can accommodate all your summer camp needs.

Maybe you want your children to have separate experiences. You know your child and your family best. This could be the best thing for both your children.They already have a family connection, but by attending different summer camps they get to enhance their own interests and skills.

Regardless of which route you take, go with your gut. Do your research. Get your advice on camp from a professional to help you find the right choice for the right child.
