An enjoyable recreational camping
program designed specifically for
children 6-12 with mild to moderate behavior problems.
The campers share to some degree one or more of the
following characteristics: lack of self confidence, fear of
new situations, difficulty following adult expectations,
difficulty getting along with peers, difficulty functioning
within a group.
I°
Activities are geared to a camper's ability to be successful. There
are nature activities, drama and dance activities, projects with
wood, clay, paints, and natural materials. There's a learning center
that encourages the use of language, reading, math, and problem
solving skills through the use of films, cooking, manipulative
objects, games, and a camper newspaper. Plus there's swimming,
boating, canoeing, sailing, fishing, horseback riding, prioneer skills,
and ROPES course activities.
Silverman Village is located at Camp Maas in Northern Oakland
County near Ortonville, Michigan, and is sponsored by Tamarack
Camps.
The staff ratio is 2 to 1 and provides individual attention to each
child. Through small group living experiences and a wide variety of
individual and small group activities, campers are helped to
become:
more positive in their interactions with others ,
more responsive to realistic limits and expectations
more responsible for their behavior
more confident of their ability to be successful
Parents, teachers, psychologists or other professionals can refer a
child to this program. There are two 25 day sessions in the summer.

Scholarships are available.

Splash Your Way
Into Great Shape
D
o you ever hear
yourself say "I'd
like to lose weight,"
or, "I'd like to get in shape,
but I just don't have the will
power"? No one is born with
will power — will power's
real name is self-discipline.
Self discipline is caring about
yourself, your health, and the
people who care about you.
One reason our fitness pro-
grams fail is that we don't
pick an activity that we
enjoy. If you don't like to run,
then don't pick running to
start your program. — You'll
never stick with it. Try to
find something you think
you'll like and set up a
schedule. Remember, to burn
fat, you must be doing some-
thing. Aerobic means utiliz-
ing oxygen for an extended
length of time. To be aerobic,
you need to maintain a con-
sistent heart rate for a
minimum of 12 to 15 min-
utes. There are many ways to
exercise aerobicly, but the
one we are going to focus on
is swimming.
Swimming is one of the
best forms of aerobic exercise
because it involves all the
major muscle groups. The
best way to increase your
aerobic endurance and burn
body fat is to involve as
many muscles as possible at
a steady and moderate inten-
sity. The water offers excel-
lent resistance, so at the
same time you're exercising
aerobically, you're also firm-
ing and toning yourmuscles
and improving your lung
capacity.
You are more buoyant in
the water and the cushioning
effect also puts less stress on
your muscles, joints and li-
gaments. So, whether you're
an accomplished swimmer or
a beginner, the water has
something to offer you. If you
don't have your breathing
and stroke perfected, then
think about taking swimming
lessons. Most pools offer les-
sons for all skill levels.
If you don't want to take
lessons, you can still splash
your way into shape. Try
holding a kickboard (a re-
ctanglar styrofoam board) in
your hands and kicking a few
lengths. Alternate that with
a few lengths of back stroke,
side stroke, breast stroke and
then go back to kicking. The
importnt thing is to keep
moving and keep your heart
rate and breathing consis-
tent.
Before you get in the pool,
take time to warm up and
stretch your body. Raising

the heart rate enough to in-
crease the internal tempera-
ture of the muscles is very
important. It makes the mus-
cles warm enough .to stretch
and prepares them for the
demands the workout will
make of them.
Make sure you take time to
relax the neck and shoulders
by doing easy neck rolls,
being careful not to drop the
head way back. Alternate
lifting and lowering the
shoulders and rolling them
back. Do some easy jogging
or some easy laps and then
take time to stretch the ham-
string (the large muscle in
the back of the leg).
Stand tall, stomach mus-
cles tucked in and shoulders
in line with the hips, and
bring one knee to your chest.
Hold the position and keep
breathing naturally. This is
also a safe and effective
stretch for the lower back.
After stretching the other
leg, stretch the quadricep
(the large muscle in the front
of the leg). Stand in the same
position and bring the heel to
the fanny, keeping the knees
close together.
Again, let the muscles re-
lax, don't force the stretch
and keep breathing natur-
ally. Reach tall to the ceiling,
do a few side stretches and
you're ready to begin your
workout.
If regular swimming does
not appeal to you, try jogging
in the water or water
aerobics. Water aerobics is
just what it sounds like —
aerobics in the water. In most
classes, you don't put your
head under water, so you
don't have to be a swimmer
-to participate. Most classes
include a warm up and
stretch, an aerobic segment, a
cool down and stretch, and a
conditioning segment.
The great thing about
swimming is that it is a
year-round sport. You can
choose the time that fits your
schedule.
