How to Survive Summer Camp - Or Not
2009-06-08 20:46:00 In honor of summertime, one of my Sunday Journal entries published in The St. Petersburg Times… I arrived at summer camp with my sister and an attitude. “Look at the cabins, trees and flowers,” Michele said, full of preteen optimism. A few years older, I knew there was nothing to get excited about. “You think sharing a room with me is bad,” I said. “You’ll be ready to scream after a week with six other girls and no air conditioning. When we go outside for a breath of fresh air, millions of mosquitoes will be there to greet us.” I preferred a performing arts camp in the city where we’d sing, dance, and act for adoring audiences. My mother hoped I would discover something about myself during this weeklong learning experience. I knew better. During our first camp meeting, the counselors outlined policies and procedures.

Here are some Quantum Learning tips that can help every student do better in school. Share them with your son or daughter.S.L.A.N.T.Sit in the front row or middle section of the classroom.

English Summer Camp
2007-08-20 15:10:00 This weekend I agreed to attend the summer camp put on by the chain of schools which I work for. Ten kids came from my school, and a couple hundred came from Oedaes across Korea.These two are Henny and Harry from my school,in the van on the way to camp.At the camp, each foreign teacher (native English speaker like myself) was assigned a group of 10 prebubescent kids to be in charge of 24/7. Thankfully, I wasn't assigned a group of boys. Luckily, nine of my ten girls were awesome: smart, funny, nice and super laid-back. Unfortunately, girl number 10 was psycho. As in that kid is going to end up locked up in a mental ward at some point in her future. For most of the first day she wasn't a problem - she made friends, fit in, seemed to be having fun... Then about an hour and a half after we all went to bed, I was awakened by another one of the girls, who told me that Anna was very sick. She seemed to be genuinely and very seriously ill: thrashing around on the floor, holding her head,...

Syria Summer Camp Fun
2007-08-03 00:15:00 Pro-Syria summer camp starts in Golan. A pro-Syria summer camp for Druse children has started on the Israeli side of the Golan Heights, it was reported on Thursday.

The kids were seen split into small groups where they expressed their dedication to what they called their “homeland.” “Syria will remain free,” they chanted. The children spoke of how they aspired to return to Syria and visit their families. They said their “souls” were connected to Syria.

Well, we had the kids from 9 AM on Friday until about 12 PM on Saturday, so I guess the final day was our longest day.And, oh man, was it a long day. I got back to my house at about noon, took a shower, washing my hair about 8 times to get all the sand out, and went to bed. I felt like I had run a marathon. I got up in time to meet Mayumi and the students from Marianas High School National Honor Society for a cleanup of Micro Beach...but only barely.But enough about my whining.Friday's activities started at American Memorial Park. The students were transported from Hopwood to AMP in a bus provided by Tasi Tours. Again, thank you a million times, Tasi Tours.

Your Child 's First Summer Camp
2007-05-26 00:21:00 When I was four or five years old, I rode with my mother to buy storage trunks for my brothers to use at summer camp. The first time I saw the chests, I broke out in tears. Here were these huge trunks with large locks on the side, which resembled something you would pack if you were leaving home for good! I remember trembling inside at the thought of my brothers packed in those trunks! I really thought my parents were shipping them off to live for good, since they were always into some kind of trouble. My mother figured out what I was thinking, and cleared it up nicely, however I developed a fear of summer camp. Never mastering this fear, I missed out on a fun childhood experience. When we send our children to summer camp, and they seem excited about it at the time, it is shocking to find a tear stained letter from them within a few days.
