This book was released on 1984 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Camping Association's (ACA) Camp Standards Program assists camp administrators in providing a quality camp experience and assists the public in selecting camps that meet standards accepted by the industry and recognized by the government. ACA Camp Standards represent desirable practices basic to quality programs. Accredited camps and approved sites have voluntarily invited ACA-trained teams to verify their compliance with the Standards in all operational areas. Core standards cover site, administration, personnel, program, and health care, while selected program standards apply to aquatic activities, trip-camping, horseback riding, and travel activities. Each standard is in the form of a yes/no question, accompanied by an interpretation of terminology and intent, and information on additional resources. The document includes a glossary and describes the ACA, Standards content, history of Standards development, and procedures for accreditation and reaccreditation. Appendices contain sample checklists and agreement forms, health and medical forms, plans, objectives and implementation outlines, and information concerning lifeguarding ratios, foreign equivalents of aquatic certifications, and the physical soundness of riding horses. The accompanying "Basic Standards Course Participant Workbook" can serve as a study guide for camp directors seeking accreditation. (SV)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful and powerful look at the magic of summer camp—and why it is so important for children to be away from home . . . if only for a little while. In an age when it’s the rare child who walks to school on his own, the thought of sending your “little ones” off to sleep-away camp can be overwhelming—for you and for them. But parents’ first instinct—to shelter their offspring above all else—is actually depriving kids of the major developmental milestones that occur through letting them go—and watching them come back transformed. In Homesick and Happy, renowned child psychologist Michael Thompson, PhD, shares a strong argument for, and a vital guide to, this brief loosening of ties. A great champion of summer camp, he explains how camp ushers your children into a thrilling world offering an environment that most of us at home cannot: an electronics-free zone, a multigenerational community, meaningful daily rituals like group meals and cabin clean-up, and a place where time simply slows down. In the buggy woods, icy swims, campfire sing-alongs, and daring adventures, children have emotionally significant and character-building experiences; they often grow in ways that surprise even themselves; they make lifelong memories and cherished friends. Thompson shows how children who are away from their parents can be both homesick and happy, scared and successful, anxious and exuberant. When kids go to camp—for a week, a month, or the whole summer—they can experience some of the greatest maturation of their lives, and return more independent, strong, and healthy.
