September 19, 2014Asking the right questions
How many times have gotten “fine” as a response to a question you asked your kid? At camp we know that the most important thing we can do for kids is LISTEN to them… but sometimes we have to ask the right questions to get them talking. This mommy blogger came up with a list of […]

September 18, 2014Giving Good Praise
At the end of each session at camp, our instructors write letters to the parents of the campers who have shown outstanding dedication at their activity.

What price dedication to learning at camp?
Last night after dinner I was at the canoe dock testing two kids on their 1st class award in canoeing. For those who don’t know about the Arowhon awards, let’s just say that kids work two or three summers on their 1st class award, and that to be that good, you can hold your own […]

Across the Universe
our usual theatrical extravaganza just ended – the Inter Senior play, a musical homage to the Beatles, with great singing and sets…. Many. 1st and 2nd class tests today, two Whitney trips got back, never mind the rain…and speaking of rain, our Survival Trip got back today and reported triumphantly that they stayed completely dry last […]
