Summer Fun

10 Tips to help keep your children busy the rest of the summer

  • Have them help an elderly family member, neighbor, or friend.
  • Some residential camps are still taking enrollment. Some even have partial scholarships for parents like me who can’t afford it. Just ask….you never know!
  • There is a lot of adventure and much to be learned from just reading a book. I have experienced a child’s overall grade point average as well as standardized test scores increase drastically simply by making regular reading a habit.
  • The neighborhood YMCA, YWCA, Park Districts, community center, and some churches have activities and classes for children all summer. Seek them out….you will be pleased.
  • Baseball, soccer, softball, swimming class…some still have openings.
  • Organize a neighborhood clean up campaign.
  • Let your child experiment with the computer-parental controls in place- there is so much to see, hear, and do in the cyber world.
  • Watch movies with a critical eye….conduct movie reviews…give them ratings, include reasons for the ratings, and have your child post them online…they can even conduct research on the directors….interesting!
  • Journaling – it used to be common to keep a journal. Miraculous things happen when a person keeps a journal. It comes with personal power and self-empowerment.
  • Go for a nature walk, in different areas. Watch the variety of bugs, animals, trees, grass, flowers, rock formations, and even the wild flowers and weeds. Look up into the sky and watch the many times God changes his curtains, the clouds. We all need to learn to appreciate His creation.

She reported that the campsite was a great place to visit. She said the counselors were helpful and very caring. Naamee reported that she was made to feel more comfortable talking in public and making new friends. This was her first time engaging in activities such as fishing, rock climbing, canoeing, archery, and other adventurous activities. She seems more confident after her experience at camp Kupugani. Naamee had an absolute ball! In her last letter from camp she states, “I LOVE THIS PLACE.”….And I thank owner and director, Kevin Gordon for his generosity and his patience. 9342_1e78d20d-fa0e-48f3-b36f-9dfb5de80e60.jpg 9342_16249efa-b109-46e0-8972-ee1631cce2ef.jpeg Scholarships Enable Kupugani Campers
    Make a difference in the lives of young girls, donate to Camp Kupugani.    Thanks to some generous contributions towards our scholarship fund, we were able to raise $15,000 to facilitate the attendance of some campers who otherwise could not have afforded camp last year. For these girls, they were able to experience an unforgettable time changing their world.
