music, yoga, "shaving" balloons with
flat sticks, painting a playhouse on the
temple grounds, a petting zoo and the
annual "half off" car wash.
But the animal theme will be preva-
lent throughout the summer said Janie
Starkman, a veteran kindergarten
teacher at Temple Israel who will
direct the summer programs. An avid
book collector, Starkman has 3,500
volumes in her classroom at temple,
and plans to use the animal theme to
teach reading skills.
Weekly themes will include animals
who fly, slither, swim, swing, hop,
crawl, walk and run "and it will be
tied to books daily," Starkman said. In
addition, animals will be tied to the
holidays and Shabbat with the temple
clergy.
Temple Israel has an average of 125
campers each year, plus some specialty
classes: a once-a-week Baby Bunch, a
five-morning parent-toddler program,
and Movin' On Up classes two or three
mornings. They often follow the theme
of the day camp program.
Leib said there have been some
modifications because of the economy.
With more parents working, Rosh
Hashanah coming just two days after

Labor Day, and the nursery school
year not starting until Sept. 13, the
summer programs have been extend-
ed this summer.
The camp has added two Wonder
Weeks, Aug. 9-13 and Aug. 16-20.
Parents can choose either a half-day
or full-day program. Included will be a
joint program with nearby Fleischman
Residence.
"The children will be making flower
arrangements for themselves and for
their `grandfriends' at Fleischman,"
said Leib. "It's giving and gifting flower
arranging." The children visit the
Brown Center during the school year,
but the Fleischman program is the
first time the Early Childhood Center
has done a multi-generational pro-
gram in the summer.
Temple Israel is also offering morn-
ing and afternoon extended-care
options for working families.
Also offered is the annual "half-off"
car wash. "The cost is actually free,"
said Leib, "except you'll need to take
your car to Jax when the kids are done.
They can't reach much above the tires,
but the tires get really clean!"
It's a "half-off" wash because only
half the dirt comes off.

Theater

Summer Impressions
hosts Summer Stock.

N

ew this year at Summer
Impressions Day Camp
will be Summer Stock
Theatre for its Energetic Explorers
ages 6-10.
Summer Impressions Theatre
Camp is a theatrical experience that
includes acting, improvisation and
dance practice in addition to hands-
on experience with the entire show
process, from learning their lines to
performing in front of a crowd.
The S.I. Theatre Camp will be
offered for two one-week sessions
for a nominal fee in Sessions I and II.
Summer Impressions Day Camp,
located in West Bloomfield, is
accredited by the American Camp
Association. It's a specialty day
camp for campers ages 3 through 13.
Located on over five acres, the camp
features an arts and crafts building, a
science center, two in-ground heated
swimming pools, tennis and basket-
ball courts, rock climbing, a

bounce, a camp store, playgrounds, a
fitness and exercise trail, miniature
golf, sports fields, a ga-ga court and
new this year, pickleball.
The Junior Counselors in Training
program also is popular. Jr. CIT's
(ages 11-13) participate in the tra-
ditional camp activities. They meet
for training and developing skills for
leadership as well as participate in
challenging and motivating activi-
ties. As the session goes on, they
spend a portion of each day assisting
counselors and specialty teachers in
an area of personal interest, whether
swimming, art, science, drama or
sports.
This is a mentoring program.
CIT's are never left alone with
groups, but are encouraged to par-
ticipate in and assist our staff to
learn responsibility, teamwork and
a taste of what it would be like to
be a future counselor at Summer
Impressions. L__1
