Ballroom Dance Camp

Category: Kind of Summer Camp – admin – 2:00 am

Seeing a couple dance on a television in any ballroom dancing tune made your heart skip so much more when you see little kids both the beginners, intermediate and advance little kids dancers try to fit their sway with the music.

Ballroom Dance

I was one dance sport fan though I have been really into it for I got busy with my career and family life. Now with my kids, trying to sway to the tunes of any music; I want that dream fulfilled.

The ballroom dance camp that I enrolled my kids teaches the basic steps for the kids two hours per day. It was a day camp. The kids were divided into the beginners, intermediate and advance level groups.

It was in awe seeing the advance level kids composed of kids from 7 to 15 years old show off their skills but still they would like to learn more. I ask my kids both 8 and 10 years old if they might be interested in learning to dance- dance sport or ballroom dancing?

A big yes coupled with clapping hands and smile is enough for me to conclude that I did the right decision. I registered them right away for the summer. The first day was full of introductory activities and getting to know each other. A lecture of the history of ballroom dancing and the great dancers in the history were introduced.

The second day was the start of the formal training. Parents were allowed to monitor their kids through a one-way glass so it was heart wrenching to see my kids for the first time learn how to dance.

All parents including me would say their kids are the best and we are just too glad to see them take formal lessons through ballroom dance camp.

At the end of a two months practice they had a culmination presentation complete with their beautiful costumes. The culmination is the product of a two-month practice and patience of both parents and the kids. I was just glad that I sent them to a dance summer camp. And I will again this year.

Category: Kind of Summer Camp – admin – 2:00 am

We couldn’t blame parents for encouraging sometimes dominating, demanding and choosing a summer camp for us. But can you force your kids to go into a career summer camp? Though, kids also have to consider the lifelong advantages of staying in a camp.

career summer campSummer is usually a time for children to enjoy a day’s long activity in the beach. Or either mastering survival skills in a summer camp or perhaps language immersion in Spain, Italy or France; another summer activity is an adventure trail or travel. Perhaps sky dive or water raft in the Amason River. Some girls perhaps would like to enroll themselves in a art work camps and learn the basics of knitting or crocheting.

But as parents have you ever subtle encourage your children not force to join a career summer camp? Do these kids know that sometimes one summer activity in a career camp has a profound effect on their lives in the near future?

Career Camps sometimes show children what does a certain job, career choices do and how would they go about it. Some professional just got no inkling on what job to look for not until they got an experience on the work itself.

Career Camps will not only showcase and depict real life professional work but also invite guest to talk about their work. Some activities also would require them to experience a little work on a certain job.

Career Camps can also be specialized. There are camps for health care careers and so they will visit home care center and hospitals. Though they will not experience the real responsibility of the job at least they have to know the responsibilities that lie with it. The joys and pain of being a health care worker is laid down for the kids to consider.

Usually junior high schools are encouraged to join these kinds of camps.

Why Send Your Kids to Asthma Summer Camp?

Category: Kind of Summer Camp – admin – 12:45 am

Parents could only look at their children with love, sympathy in their eyes when their children were attack by asthma.


Asthma is a no ordinary respiratory system chronic disease which constricts the airways and they are inflamed. As a person who suffers from such disease for forty years, I know how it feels when such disease attacks. Only people with asthma understand the feeling.

It is an inheritance disease and can be carried for generations to generations. I heard there is no cure for such illness. The medicines you take only controls the symptoms of the disease such as short breaths and coughing.

So kids with these diseases are prohibited to do so many things; to eat all those prohibited foods, like the yummy shrimps, yellow vegetable and fruits and crustaceans like crabs and lobster. All my favorites actually!

I live my life as a sheltered child. Less play. Less involvement. But I do not want my kids to live the kind of life I did. Where in I could play. I could not eat those because after hours of doing so- my asthma would attack.

Thanks for Asthma Summer Camps. These camps helped my child understand his disease. He knows what to eat and not to meat and why? In my time, I did not know the reason why I had to do such things!

In Asthma Summer Camps they were taught on how to take care of themselves. They were taught what they should avoid.

Asthma Summer Camps like Camp Duncan located in Ingleside, Illinois made a difference for some of our family’s kids. Some of my nephews got enrolled there lat year. The kids were just enthusiastic and learning so many things not only about asthma but camping experiences.

Now I am looking for the same camps in our area.
