It's only the start of the second week of summer camp and I just had a call from a mom asking how quickly she can get her daughter into Camp. Mom reports that the daughter is "driving her crazy with her moans of 'I'm bored!' This mom and daughter are not alone in this situation.
All across the US boys and girls are at home - creating "the sounds of summer" - the click, click of endless cell phone texting; the beep and blasts of video games; the droning of the TV; the whirring of the refrigerator as it opens and closes all day long; the requests to be driven here and there; the whines of 'I have nothing to do';...
We have the solution.
Replace those sounds with those of the splash of a canoe paddle as it dips into the lake; the ping of an arrow as it finds it target; the cheers as the ball whizzes into the goal; the yells of encouragement as a fellow campers scales the climbing tower; the shouts of joy just before the campers plunge into the cool lake waters; the greetings of new found friends;... YES! these are the summer sounds we all wish for! They can be found at CAMP.
It is not too late to enroll for summer camp! Spread the word and let's all enjoy the sounds of summer! www.campspeersymca.org
