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.
