Outdoor Exercise to Get Ready for Summer

Posted on by Presmult

Outdoor Exercise for Fun and to Get Your Child Ready for Summer!

Finally, the warmer weather is here and the days are counting down until your child’s stay atCamp Kinder Ring Overnight Summer Camp in upstate NY begins! But don’t wait until then to think about getting into shape and building a strong and healthy body. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention suggests physical activity for an hour a day for kids 6-17. It’s time to go outside and get some of that fresh air and exercise! Pry the children off the couch and away from the phones, tablets, computers and TV’s! Join the fun and bond with your kids by taking walks or riding bikes together. Practicing a particular sport, doing yardwork together or just playing catch, safely and in moderation are fairly painless ways to have fun. All that exercise is great for your body, mind and heart. It’s also time well spent with your children.

Other ideas? You can create adventures in your yard, nearby parks or towns navigating or exploring things you’ve never taken notice of before. There are local maps or books on birds, other wildlife or history to investigate for added fun. Be an example and get them excited about being outdoors. Most likely, they will need your inspiration to go out and play. That’s what the staff at Camp Kinder Ring summer camp are trained to do, but you can reap the rewards by prepping your kids and getting them excited for the summer. If you need any more ideas, take a look at some of ouractivities and see if there is one your child would especially like to focus on.

Make it a priority to set some time aside in your busy week – so you can be active with your children outdoors! As the days get longer take advantage of the sunshine and the benefits that come with spending the time exercising and having great fun with your children!

Summer Camp Creates LEADERS

Posted on by Presmult

Summer Camp Creates Leaders.

Most kids do not even realize it, but their experience at summer camp teaches them valuable leadership skills. Many camps, like Camp Kinder Ring, have group activities that require effort from everyone, not just a single person. But sometimes, it takes one person to bring an entire group of people to success.

Leadership is a quality that is missing in many of today’s youth, and a positive summer camp experience can teach children the important leadership skills they lack! Colleges today are looking for students who get involved in extra-curricular activities and go the extra mile with anything and everything. The same goes for the business world; but unfortunately, many of today’s children are not demonstrating the strong leadership skills that their future professors and employers will be looking for!

Summer camp gives children the chance to expand their horizons and test their abilities in a way while surrounded by their peers in a comforting and supportive environment. This helps campers build confidence – and a child with a healthy sense of self-esteem can take on a leadership role without fearing judgement or failure. Confident children make wonderful adult leaders, and at summer camp, children are able to interact with their peers and take on new challenges without being graded on their effort like they are in school!

Summer camp encourages trial and error, learning from experience, and forces children to step out of their comfort zone and interact with their peers – all of this breeds STRONG LEADERSHIP skills! Leadership is one of those things that is hard to develop in normally passive children, but with the right encouragement and determination, any child can become a LEADER!

Camp Kindering | Perfect Jewish Sleepaway Camp for You

Posted on by Presmult

Summer 2013 has officially come to a close, and now it’s time to put our focus on the 2014 season! While we get your summer paradise up and ready for the coming season, you might want to begin thinking about if Camp Kinder Ring of Hopwell Junction NY is right for you.

Kinder Ring is the perfect combination of everything we love about summer. Caring campers, gorgeous grounds, and awesome activities are just a few things you can expect to see when you enter through our gates. With a wide range of sports such as gaga, volleyball, dance, and soccer, there is never a dull moment in CKR. We also offer activities that are not centered on athletics such as arts and crafts, cooking, and our ropes course/ adventure center. Of course, we can’t forget about the waterfront! We offer many lake front activities on our own Sylvan Lake, in addition to the pool. Believe it or not, these are just a sneak peak at the fun to be had!

All of these activities are just the beginning. Kinder Ring offers something much deeper than just fun in the sun. Our Jewish Culture program teaches campers important Jewish stories while integrating fun yiddish songs and israeli dances. Campers will learn the basic values that guide our religion, and will come away from the summer more in tune with their culture. Every Friday night we celebrate “Shtiller” by gathering around the flagpole for discussion and song in our whites, and eating a traditional Shabbas meal in the dining room. These moments bring our campers together with a feeling of Jewish Community, and help them to understand how Jewish traditions can be a fun part of the week.

Kinder Ring, a sleepaway camp in Dutchess County, NY, is the perfect combination of activities, friendship, and Jewish spirit. Look no further than CKR for the best option for your coming summer!
