Why You Need Travel Insurance When Visit The USA
Sunday, December 26th, 2010Top 7 Points to Consider When Choosing a Camp for Your Child
Sunday, December 19th, 2010Hopefully your child will be among the 12 million other kids going to camp this summer. The positive benefits kids gain from a camp experience – such as learning to take responsibility for themselves, making new friends, and building self-confidence and esteem – are well-documented and indisputable.
You don’t want to make a mistake when picking a camp, so here are the top 7 things to consider before you sign on the dotted line.
Make sure your child is ready for camp
Kids develop at certain rates. Some kids are ready for camp before others. If your child is mature, gets along well with others, and is comfortable being separated from you, he or she is probably ready for a camp experience. Otherwise, you might consider waiting a year or two.
Include your child in the decision-making process
It’s been proven time and again: The kids who enjoy camp the most are those who’ve been involved in choosing their own camp. When parents pick a camp without consulting their kids, their kids usually don’t like camp as much.
Check references
One of the biggest mistakes parents make when signing up for camp is not checking references. Always ask the camp director for at least three references, and be sure to follow through on making your calls. If you don’t hear glowing reports from the references, look into other camps.
Only pick a camp with activities your child likes
This one’s easy. If your son wants to learn to surf, send him to a surf camp. If your daughter wants to polish her gymnastics skills, look into a gymnastics camp. Don’t send your surfer kid to cooking camp. Don’t send your daughter who’s obsessed with gymnastics to an archery camp.
Meet the director ahead of time
It’s not a good idea to register for camp sight-unseen. There’s too much potential for something bad to happen. The camp might not be as safe as you thought, the counselors might not be as nice, the director might not be as qualified, and the facilities might not be as clean. So meet the director ahead of time, and/or take a tour of the camp, if possible, before the summer starts. You wouldn’t buy a car without a test drive, so don’t sign up for camp without a test-drive, either.
Choose an ACA Accredited camp
Most parents would not send their kids to a non-accredited school, so why would you send them to a non-accredited camp? Picking a summer camp that’s accredited by the American Camp Association is the ONLY way you can be sure the camp meets or exceeds up to 300 best-practice industry standards relating to child safety and program quality, among others. If you don’t choose an accredited camp, watch out.
Find out the camp’s refund policy
What if your child doesn’t like camp? What if they break their arm before camp starts, or even during camp? What if something unexpected happens and you need to drop out? While many camps have no-refund policies, others are more lenient. Make sure you understand the camp’s refund policy in advance and get it in writing. You don’t want to make a finical mistake, especially in this awful economy.
These are the top 7 things to remember when choosing a camp for your child. Summer camp can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a child’s life when you pick the right program.
The Lodging Question Solved With a Destination Wedding Venue
Sunday, December 12th, 2010(c) 2008 Dan Pimentel
Professional Wedding Planners have always known that one of the most important parts of planning a bride and groom’s special day is the lodging of out-of-town guests. With the precision of a ballet, planners must often perform a delicate dance shuffling guests from the hotel to the wedding venue, and then must coordinate their return late in the evening following a gala reception. And when guests are housed an several different hotels located miles from the ceremony venue, it usually requires the use of a fleet of limos or even tour buses to get everyone into the wedding on time.
One way Wedding Planners work around this dilemma is to book the ceremony at “destination” wedding venues. Most of these types of facilities offer a package that includes not only the ceremony venue and reception hall, but also guest accommodations in the same location. When this type of multi-purpose venue is used for a wedding, the travel hassles of moving guests to and from outlying hotels can be eliminated.
When brides think of “destination” wedding sites, those that come to mind are usually located in expensive locales such as Hawaii, the Mexican Rivera or the Caribbean. These far-flung venues – while exciting for the couple to be married, often create logistics and cost problems for guests and family. This is why smart Wedding Planners have learned to look in the bride and groom’s own back yard for venues that can serve all of their needs.
One such “destination” wedding venue that is a classic example of what Wedding Planners look for is Wonder Valley Ranch Resort, a 75-acre Conference Center located in the Sierra Nevada foothills just east of California’s Central Valley.
The resort’s Director of Marketing, Vonda Hutchinson, explains why couples are turning to “destination” venues. “All couples want to be married in a beautiful, serene location,” Hutchinson said, “but they also want easy access for friends and family. Our resort has been well known for several decades as a welcoming facility for businesses to hold retreats and also leisure travelers. It is situated in a quiet little valley near Sequoia National Park, and our peace and quiet is legendary.”
Recently, the Oken family, owners of the resort, realized that the shady grounds under Wonder Valley’s mature Oaks and Sycamores would make a wonderful wedding venue, and their many guest rooms could easily provide the guest accommodations that couples require. The family has since invested in a new Lakeview Wedding Garden for outdoor wedding ceremonies alongside their lake, and a large, flexible Legacy Events Center adjacent to the wedding garden for receptions.
“We’ve had Wedding Planners tell us this is the perfect combination of a peaceful location that offers the lodging and banquet facilities their couples are looking for,” Hutchinson said. “We are close enough to Fresno and Clovis to allow local guests to make a short drive to the ceremony, but have on-site rooms available for the wedding party and their traveling guests.”
With the lodging problem solved by using a “destination” wedding venue that includes guest rooms right on the property, couples and their planners can then focus in on the endless number of smaller details that make each wedding unique.
