Summer selection

It’s the last week of summer camp, but two weeks until school starts. The panic begins. Really, we are lucky because we have great neighbors (and good jobs with good benefits, like time off) that it all will work out.
Though, as I reviewed the recently published Journal News’ Rockland late-summer tradition, the annual Back to School tabloid magazine, I thought the theme — inclusive ideas and diverse programs beyond one-size-fits-all — really summed up my kids’ summer experience.
My kids got to partake in a variety of camp experiences, all in (or two minutes from) Rockland. They were different, because, well, the kids are different.
We had: traditional summer sleepover camp, rustic cabins, lake swimming and even bear alerts, in Harriman State Park.
We had “theater” camp housed at a local middle school. They even put on their own play at the end. Yes, a musical.
We tried skateboarding camp in western Ramapo (yes, skateboarding camp.) This kid, of course, is already angling for sailing camp next year.
Now, we have gymnastics camp. And, we had the wonderful opportunity to join strings camp in the Nyack district (we have some great offerings in all our school districts.)
Now, I think we need a week of less structure (Camp Mommy) before the school routine sets in. That is, until I start hearing, “Mom, I’m bored!”
When does the school bus arrive?
