Summer Camp Reading Can't Post

Summer is the hot season . . . the hot sun beats down . . . time to apply sun screen and don a broad-brimmed hat.

Summer beaches fill up with sun bathers thirsty for warming rays, lying on large colorful towels and blankets — and then — into the water for a cooling swim, splashing around, playing on plastic mattresses.

It's so great, if your camp has a beach, and campers and staff can chill out during free swim, a break from the hectic fun of activities and play.

Hot, hot summer — it’s time to lounge about and indulge in summer magazines and books that the media likes to call — Best of Summer Reading — or Best of Summer Fiction.

Here is Summer Camp Reading, the July 2007 MySummerCamp.com Newsletter, via desktop computer or on the beach with a laptop . . . a great source of information for all readers.
  1. Greg Cronin, Camp Scholar and Virginia resident, offers up a dynamic vision of the April massacre at Virginia Tech and the post-traumatic stress faced by its students returning to summer camp.

  2. Day Camp specialist Lynda Fishman provides her first article for the Newsletter with a well-researched piece on child obesity, offering suggestions for healthy improvements.

  3. The monthly ACA article comes courtesy of Ed Schirick, a summer camp insurance specialist, in an insightful commentary on how experienced and motivated staff provides the front line of risk management.

  4. Barbara Gilmour, Creator of Tanner's Manners, imparts her knowledge on social skills and etiquette, and their application to a happy and well-functioning camp setting — her premiere Camp Scholar and Newsletter article.
Enjoy the July 2007 MySummerCamps.com Newsletter whether you're in your camp office or on the beach — summer reading at its best!
