We are at the Tri-State Camp Conference this week in Atlantic City. You can BET that we are learning and sharing; all towards enhancing and improving the Camp Towanda program.

The directors of camp towanda just returned from a 4 day meeting of discussions regarding enhancing the involvement, attention and care our staff has with the campers and directors. Communication is important; it fortifies trust and comfort which translates into taking on healthy challenges, appropriately going out of one’s comfort zone as well as fun, friendship and positive experiences.  This is what Camp Towanda is about.  Next stop, the American Camp Association’s Camp Conference

Stephanie & Mitch viewed RACE TO NOWHERE, a documentary that emphasizes the “over the top” demands, push and pressures our society has perhaps inadvertently instilled in the current generation.

Although a good point and certainly a “hopeful” reality check that it is okay for kids to be kids and that they do not have to have lived their life to the ultimate fullest before they even grow up and can just have simple experiences; we can’t say that we 100% agree with all of it.

For instance, some homework is good…. Certainly not 5 hours a night; but a regular homework assignment or review provides the opportunity to enhance one’s sense of discipline, responsibility and focus.

We certainly recommend that parents watch this documentary; if nothing else, hopeful it creates positive awareness.

At camp, we all live in this great community, are on the same page, not chasing our tails, not hiding behind a keyboard or plugged in. We interact face-to-face, play, learn, respect and appreciate the time we have.

Such an opportunity! Such a privilege! Camp Towanda is continuing education; but not stuff you can learn in a classroom or by hanging at home.
