Camping Out
Continued from Page 48
igan State both run sports
camps. They run a variety of
sports."
The quality of the instruc-
tors is of major importance. A
camp may have a famous ath-
lete or coach attached to it,
but that does not guarantee
quality. Dick Rosenthal, ath-
letic director and varsity boys'
swim coach at Birmingham
Seaholm, also runs a summer
swim-fun camp near Cadillac,
Tanuga Swim Camp. He
counsels parents who con-
sider a big-name camp to
"make sure, number one, that
that sports personality is
there. They want to make
sure that the type of coaching
that is advertised in reality is
actually being given. They
would like to know approx-
imately how many hours a
day are taken aside to do
specifically what they say
they're gonna be doing, and
they want to make sure that
the kid is truly being coach-
ed in a relatively one-to-one
basis, as opposed to 30 or 40
kids to one coach."
Krisniski, who formerly
worked at Orchard Lake St.
Mary's basketball camp, says
they always maintained a
ratio of ten campers for each
counselor. "Some of the other
camps that I know of, talking
to both people who work there
and kids who've gone there,
you've got 30, 40 kids for one
counselor. And to me that's
ridiculous. The kid's paying
$200 for a week of camp —
which most overnight camps
charge. He better get some in-
dividual instruction and he
better get a lot of basketball,
from morning to night. A lot
of places that are overnight
camps keep the kids busy
during the day, but once
nighttime rolls around it's all
free time."
Rosenthal agrees with that
philosophy. At a good camp,
he says, a camper's entire day
will be planned.
Another important factor is
the level of athletes attending
a camp. "If you've got a child
that's at an intermediate
level," says Fischer, "they
would fit in with most camps.
But if you've got somebody
that's pretty serious about
their tennis, maybe been in
programs, taken lessons,
maybe even gotten into some
competitive play, you want to
see that the camp that you
send them to had that
available, had some competi-
tion and some older kids,
some better kids. . . We've had
kids that have been pretty
good players, (who have) gone
to a tennis camp and found
there really wasn't enough
competition."
When asked about girls'
basketball camps, Krisniski
says parents must be more,
careful because there are
fewer camps for girls than
boys. He concludes with ad-
vice which parents of boys
and girls should remember.
"There are some good pro-
grams . . . But you have to in-
vestigate them and talk to
some people you know. I
wouldn't look for the first one
in the newspaper that comes
along and then send my
money in.". ❑
Sports Camp
Check List
To find a good sports
camp:
• Consult a local coach.
• Consider the camp's
facilities.
• Consider the camp's
personnel.
• Decide what level of
competition the child
needs.
• Find out if a 'name'
athlete or coach will ac-
tually be there.
• Ask if the child's time
is fully scheduled.
