THINK OF SEA-GULL.

All girls. New skills. Great fun.

Since 1955, the Schulman family has offered traditional summer camping
in a nurturing, fun-filled environment. Today, that tradition continues in our
creative program designed for girls ages 7-15. fi •

At Camp Sea-Gull, your daughter will learn
new skills in a setting that encourages personal growth, success and life-long
friendships. Our program includes tennis, soccer, sailing, canoeing, sea kayaking
horseback riding, drama, arts and crafts, overnights and much, much more.

We offer two- and four-week sessions, a 3:1 camper-counselor

ratio, a high quality staff and limited enrollment

Family-oriented summer vaca-

activities are certainly not a
new phenomenon — not too
far back folks were motoring to
Michigan's west coast to stay
at Mendelson's, Sleepy Hol-
low, Fiddleman's or the Bilt-
more and the Dells,
Wisconsin-based Nippersink or
to the Concord in the Catskills.
Family camp affords a less
expensive alternative to pricier
trips for the budget conscious.
"For a week, the four of us go
for about $1,000, including
meals," said Hugh Broder. But
price is not the only considera-
tion.

tonville has been extending its
summer camp season for years
with themed family camp
weekends. "We have fall col-
ors, spring, congregational and
family weekends and a New
Year's camp that's longer," said
Family Camp coordinator
Helayne Shaw. "Each session
includes the Shabbat experi-
ence."
"It's really an easy vacation,"
said Ms. Shaw "And every-
thing's included. You're not at
an expensive vacation spot
paying for a $10 hamburger.
And it's close enough to home
and far enough away."
Among Tamarack's more
popular get-aways are the Bub-
bie and Zadie weekends.
"Grandparents and grandchil-
dren get to spend some great
quality time together," said
Ms. Shaw. "We even have
grandparents who come from
all over the country to spend
time with their
Michigan
grandkids, and
vice versa."
