summer camp activities, from canoeing and archery to arts and crafts, hiking and wilderness
skills. Others are specialized for interests such
as basketball, horsesback riding or even sailing,
if youre willing to travel.
Some kids want a very specific focus and some
want a more broad experience, says Josh Foley,
summer camp director at Black Rock.
Residential camp might not be the best for every child, especially if theyve never been away
from mom and dad overnight before. If thats the
case, a night or two at grandmas house might be
a good trial run, Smith and Foley suggest.
Some kids are just not open to that or theyre
not ready for that, Foley says. In that case, a day
camp might be a better thing.

Landis was even more surprised when the boy refused to
accept payment for his services.
He told her that he wanted to be
a good neighbor. His hard work
was a gift.
You dont see many young
people who do work for free,
just to be helpful, says Landis.
I thought it was just wonderful.
