Hi Camp Parents!

I can’t wait to see everyone at the reunion on Sunday!! It always reminds me about the power of camp in a child’s life even when we’re far from summer and Greeley, PA.

If you haven’t read it, I wanted to share the article “ A Brain Tonic for Children” by Gretchen Reynolds, that appeared in the New York Times recently.

In September in “Pediatrics”, researchers at the University of Illinois published findings that proved that organized physical activity in 8- and 9-year-olds improved their mental skills.

Camp does many things. In addition to the fun of high energy activity and the friends that come with improving social skills, I believe that a well-organized and supervised camp experience like ours develops a child’s good judgment, problem-solving skills and mental acuity.

The positive impact of camp can last for an instant, a season and for a lifetime.
