Summer Sleep-Away Camps

Part 2: My classmates and I had similar responses to each other. Most of us believe that it’s important to have a structure schedule. By doing so, it helps the child sleep through the night without any issues. For example, Jennifer Rodriguez, said that she would apply a strict strict schedule and attempting to resolve the issue of why Manny doesn’t like sleeping in his room. Erik Cisneros mentions that she would attempted to have more activities throughout the day so that Manny would be able to sleep. I agree, a child’s day should be productive, that way they understand that they should be using their time correctly and resting at night. Natania Fernandez stated that there shouldn’t be naps involve so that he feels tired during the night

If you’re unsure whether a summer enrichment program is right for your child, here’s are three ways these programs actually prove their value:

Throughout this experience i learned more about myself than i thought possible. But during the volunteer hours that i performed, i completely broke out of my quiet shell. When i started my journey off at a children's sports and adventure camp, it helped me to become a leader, as well as a facilitator. I had to organize, and instruct activities daily. This helped me to become a problem solver as well as a communicator beause of the fact that in dealing with children, youll always run into some delema that youll have to deal with.

You have not yet had to discipline bad behaviors and so the child might see your home more as a vacation of sorts. You may not run into many behavioral issues if you chose to do short-term and/or respite

Are your children upset , tired , or inactive due to 5-6 hours of sleep? In the article “Our kids need more sleep” by Valerie Edre. The author has spoken about children needing more sleep to along in there days. Edre makes it clear that she believes that the less sleep the kids get the less they can succeed in everyday activities as in school, athletics and more. I agree with Edre a lot because of the more sleep kids can get the more academic performance kids can reach and having more sleep can help with more energy for athletic performances.

Their social skills might not be where they should be for their ages. However, summer camp counselors can find the unique qualities and skills of each child and help them learn new social skills they might not learn in their ordinary day-to-day lives. Happy Memories: Your foster child might only stay with you for a short time. Even though officials might have the best of intentions, there are times that the child goes back into a home that is still dysfunctional or becomes that way again. Summer camp gives the child happy memories to focus on during this difficult times.

During the summer I work at a summer camp. I am Head Lifeguard, Head Counselor and Director of Sports. It is a fairly large camp with, on average, 140 campers a year. Ages in the camp range from 5-12 years old. Sometimes we have problems with the kids but most of

The period of time from the end of the school day to bedtime is stressful for a child. The homework and projects for class alone take up most of that time. A child will also want to add in time for a hobby like dance or football. To take that small window of time and add the pressure of traveling to another parents home and making it back before bedtime is creating unwanted anxiety.

Columbia Elementary School Summer Care Program consists of kindergarten through 8th grade. The class I was able to observe was the 6th through 8th grade class. This program is for the students who are out of school for summer vacation. In the classroom I was in, there was about ten students and three teachers.
