A probation violation can occur in a number of different ways.
Violations can come from positive urinalysis.
They can come from being out after curfew.
Violations come whenever a special condition or a standard condition of probation are breached.
Special conditions are those conditions that are specifically laid out and are unique to that term of probation. Whereas, standard conditions are those conditions that are standard with every term of probation.
An example of a standard term of probation is not to commit a new criminal offense.
An example of a special term of probation is to complete a drug evaluation and treatment.
What is the legal standard to a probation violation?
In order to violate probation, a probationer must willfully and substantially violate the terms of their probation.
In other words, you can’t accidentally have a probation violation. Also, you can’t violate probation because of an inability to complete an item of probation (despite your best efforts). For example, it’s not a violation of probation to not pay restitution, EVEN WHERE IT IS ORDERED, so long as you don’t have the money to pay it. Consider a guy working full time to support a family and every penny he makes goes to the absolute bare essentials (food, shelter, rent). if that guy didn’t have any money left over to pay restitution costs, then a judge could not find there to be a willful and substantial violation. However, if the same guy had $300 left over every month and he spent it on lottery tickets, then he would have violated because he willfully gambled over paying his restitution.
The state must only prove a probation violation by a preponderance of the evidence.

This month some important Walmart news did not get the attention it deserved. The news wasn't some flashy announcement about virtual reality or about some new service for busy Manhattanites. It was something much more subtle and much more substantive.
It was the hire of Valerie Casey. Google "Valerie Casey" even today and only two listings make mention of her newfound connection with Walmart on the first page of the returned search results. This amount of attention is unjustifiably slight. Let this piece then serve as the hire's coming out party.
Shrewdly, Walmart has made Valerie Casey, formerly of Frog, Ideo, and Pentagram, its new head of design. She will be charged with leading Walmart into the future and ensuring that all its products and services, from websites to employee and consumer apps, will work in cohesion and from a singular experience design point of view.
"What's the big whup?" you might ask.
The big whup is that this announcement clearly shows that Walmart has jumped feet first into the waters of next generation retailing. Under Doug McMillon's bold leadership, Walmart here again is taking one of the most essential steps to long-term success for any legacy bricks-and-mortar retailer—specifically, redefining how it thinks of the word "product."
Instead of doing what many retailers do, like staffing de facto "product" heads within owned brand development, store operations, e-commerce, etc. and then leaving them to collaborate inside complex organizations with competing priorities, Walmart rightly understands that retailing has become so complex that all these aforementioned roles now need their own steward to ensure alignment.
Walmart having a mission to help its customers save money and live better is one thing, but putting that promise into coherent action is another thing entirely. Many retailers take such coordinated action for granted, which is why so many legacy retail experiences feel disjointed across the digital and physical divide. Success rarely is found in the compromise and turf wars of internal politics. The buck needs to stop somewhere.
Prior to e-commerce, before customers had the myriad of options they have today to consume products (via web portals, apps, social media, etc.), retailers were able to differentiate themselves by the products inside their four walls. The strategic practice of product differentiation became so prevalent and such a point of emphasis that it even gave way to the commonly heard parlance of retail being a "merchant-led business."
The growth of e-commerce in the 1990s and 2000s rewrote the playbook though. During this period, Jeff Bezos built Amazon into the "Everything Store." His idea was that as long as he could offer a great selection, convenience and great prices, consumers would gravitate towards Amazon over time. Boy, was he right, and, boy, did they ever gravitate towards Amazon.
Whether customers try to order direct from Amazon or from one of Amazon's many third-party suppliers on its marketplace, it is becoming more and more difficult for a consumer not to find what he or she desires on Amazon. At this point, nearly 50% of all first product searches start on Amazon, indicating that Amazon is settling into the digital and product acquisition-equivalent of the 1980s shopping mall. The products inside a retailers four walls or within a retailers assortment are now, in a way, almost non-differentiating.
Bezos saw that the opportunity in retail was to put the customer first and to think not about the product he or she buys but about the Product he or she really buys—for him, the Product (big "P) of the Amazon brand. The white space in retail was no longer leading with product (small "p"), but leading with the discipline of Product Management, where his Product, or in this case, the Amazon brand, was the magic created at the intersection of great experience design, technology and business. Product was not a pair of khaki pants, a new set of bed sheets or a bar of soap. It was the culmination of a friction-free user experience that delivered on the universal truths of selection, convenience, and low prices and that exceeded consumers' expectations consistently, again and again.
Sadly, many retailers have not grasped this "Product Problem." The greatest Product Manager in history, Jeff Bezos, saw the problem early on, while many merchant princes missed the signals and have even now admitted that they underestimated the impact technology would have on retail. Fortunately, Walmart's recent hire of Casey indicates that there could be light at the end of what has, until now, been a dark tunnel.
Walmart is big. The acquisitions of Jet.com, Bonobos, ModCloth, etc. have only made it bigger and more complex, saying nothing too of the ever-changing demands of consumers and Walmart's ever-expanding interests abroad (see Flipkart). Therefore, it is only right that someone, like Casey, take up the mantle to oversee and to fight for the consumer and to ensure that all Walmart's activities look, feel, and convey the Walmart brand in the simplest, most straightforward way as possible.
The products inside Walmart's stores are immaterial to its future success. What matters is the Product of its brand—its website, its store, its app-based services, etc. Those are the Products that matter. In a future world where the only thing that differentiates a physical from a digital experience is the memory and delight of being somewhere, a Walmart store is the Product or collective set of experiences that will get someone off his or her couch.
A tube of toothpaste just won't cut it anymore.
While the products within Walmart's store or on its website will come and go and ebb and flow, the shroud of the Walmart brand will be what matters. Walmart's store and its digital properties will be the envelopes that carry its brand promise.
The experiment that bears this out has already been run. We need look no further than the history of Amazon and also to the young upstart CEOs like Emily Weiss, Katrina Lake and Adam Goldenberg who are already thriving in this new world. Their collective early success indicates that they get the punchline to the joke of 21st century retail—that the retail of the future won't be merchant led, it will be Product led.
Best of luck, Valerie Casey. A bricks-and-mortar nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

Parenting Podcasts: You Aren’t Alone!
When you follow someone online, you get a glimpse into their life. Suddenly instead of feeling alone, you feel validated in your decisions, and heck you might even learn something along the way!
Parenting podcasts offer this, and can help remind parents that whatever problem they’re facing, they’re not alone.
Listening into shows, or reading people’s stories online, can feel like you’re eavesdropping on their lives. However by being allowed to peak in, you suddenly realise that a lot things about parenting are universal.
We all do a lot of the things the same.
We also do a lot of things differently, and it’s always fascinating to hear how others live their lives, and parent their children.
Whether you agree or disagree, it still makes for a great conversation.
The Parenting View is one of these shows that has just started up, promising to get conversations going about all things parenting.
Maria Foy, creator and host of the podcast The Parenting View, says “A lot of parents can get disillusioned by what they see online, but with a show like this, suddenly you’re exposed to a conversation that is unfiltered.” She also goes on to say “No two people parent the same, and everybody’s life experiences are different – which makes these kind of conversations fascinating. When we stop and listen to others, we learn; and knowledge is power. We can choose what to do with that information however we want“.
As mentioned in our “Podcasts Are The New Black” post, you can listen to a podcast anywhere, anytime. You do not have to sit down in front of a computer to do it.
So you could be doing your laundry, going for a walk, or feeding your baby and still be able to tune in and feel less alone as a parent.
So head on over to Soundcloud and start checking out the podcasts available. If you’re interested, you can check out The Parenting View’s own podcast HERE.
You can check it out, and subscribe to it, on iTunes or on Spotify (coming soon).

Over the past century, Leviton's electrical components have made them a household name. But did you know that they produce an impressive line of fiber optic products as well? From consumables and connectors to fiber enclosures and adapter plates, Leviton fiber optic components are designed for fast, easy terminations and high quality connections. Read on to learn more about Leviton fiber optics, available right here at CableOrganizer.com!
Before you can terminate optical fiber, you've got to get it squeaky clean. For just that reason, you'll find a wide variety of Leviton fiber optic consumables products at CableOrganizer.com. The standard Leviton Consumables Kit comes complete with alcohol pads, polyester wipes, music wire, and lapping film. The Fast-Cure Kit is made up of all the adhesive, accelerator, needles and syringes needed for terminations with Leviton's Fast-Cure connectors. We even carry Leviton's Adhesive Accelerator kit, which contains primer and hardener for use with fiber optic connector adhesives.
Leviton Fan Out Kits are perfect for separating and protecting 250-micron fibers during fan out terminations, and make it easy to route them into 900-micron color-coded buffer tubes. Fan out kits are available in 24" and 36" lengths, for 6-fiber or 12-fiber configurations.
Whether you need to terminate single-mode or multimode fiber, Leviton's FastCAM connectors allow you to make fast, precise field terminations. Using a proven and revolutionary mechanical splice technology, FastCAM connectors eliminate the need for hand polishing, specials tools, and even epoxy! After a cleaved fiber is inserted into a FastCAM connector, the installer simply releases the factory-installed wedge clip, and an instant low-loss connection is formed.
EIA/TIA compliant FastCAM connectors are available in LC, SC or ST styles. They're perfect for any indoor premise or fiber-to-the-subscriber installation, as well as applications that require a fast data network. To make terminations even easier, try Leviton's FastCAM Installation Kit, which includes a fiber stripper, cleaver, and two types of cleaning wipes: dry and alcohol-moistened.
Perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications, Fast-Cure Adhesive Style Connectors from Leviton make it easy to quickly terminate optical fiber for LANs, WANs, point-to-point systems and Cable TV distribution networks. Available for single-mode and multimode fiber, Fast-Cure connectors come in LC, SC and ST styles, and feature precision, pre-radiused zirconia ferrules. Leviton's Fast-Cure adhesive connectors comply with TIA/EIA standards, and their high cable-retention crimp makes them ideal for use with jacketed fiber.
Thread-Lock connectors are a convenient solution for easy field terminations on single-mode and multimode fiber. TIA/EIA compliant Thread-Lock connectors are both removable and reusable, and meet Telecommunications Industry standards for tensile strength and performance. Best suited for indoor use, these Leviton fiber optic connectors don't require crimp tools, epoxies or heat curing, and take about 2 minutes each to install. Thread-Lock connectors have a typical insertion loss of 0.20dB, and come in SC and ST varieties, with duplex clips available.
Ideal for protecting and organizing optical splice fibers, the Leviton DPS Optical Splice Enclosure is designed to complement any 19" or 23" rack mount application. The DPS Optical Splice Enclosure is constructed of rugged aluminum, and features front and rear hinged doors (with an optional key lock) for convenient access to fibers and splice trays.

over the past century, leviton's electrical components have made them a household name. but did you know that they produce an impressive line of fiber optic products as well? from consumables and connectors to fiber enclosures and adapter plates, leviton fiber optic components are designed for fast, easy terminations and high quality connections. read on to learn more about leviton fiber optics, available right here at cableorganizer.com!
before you can terminate optical fiber, you've got to get it squeaky clean. for just that reason, you'll find a wide variety of leviton fiber optic consumables products at cableorganizer.com. the standard leviton consumables kit comes complete with alcohol pads, polyester wipes, music wire, and lapping film. the fast-cure kit is made up of all the adhesive, accelerator, needles and syringes needed for terminations with leviton's fast-cure connectors. we even carry leviton's adhesive accelerator kit, which contains primer and hardener for use with fiber optic connector adhesives.
leviton fan out kits are perfect for separating and protecting 250-micron fibers during fan out terminations, and make it easy to route them into 900-micron color-coded buffer tubes. fan out kits are available in 24" and 36" lengths, for 6-fiber or 12-fiber configurations.
whether you need to terminate single-mode or multimode fiber, leviton's fastcam connectors allow you to make fast, precise field terminations. using a proven and revolutionary mechanical splice technology, fastcam connectors eliminate the need for hand polishing, specials tools, and even epoxy! after a cleaved fiber is inserted into a fastcam connector, the installer simply releases the factory-installed wedge clip, and an instant low-loss connection is formed.
eia/tia compliant fastcam connectors are available in lc, sc or st styles. they're perfect for any indoor premise or fiber-to-the-subscriber installation, as well as applications that require a fast data network. to make terminations even easier, try leviton's fastcam installation kit, which includes a fiber stripper, cleaver, and two types of cleaning wipes: dry and alcohol-moistened.
perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications, fast-cure adhesive style connectors from leviton make it easy to quickly terminate optical fiber for lans, wans, point-to-point systems and cable tv distribution networks. available for single-mode and multimode fiber, fast-cure connectors come in lc, sc and st styles, and feature precision, pre-radiused zirconia ferrules. leviton's fast-cure adhesive connectors comply with tia/eia standards, and their high cable-retention crimp makes them ideal for use with jacketed fiber.
thread-lock connectors are a convenient solution for easy field terminations on single-mode and multimode fiber. tia/eia compliant thread-lock connectors are both removable and reusable, and meet telecommunications industry standards for tensile strength and performance. best suited for indoor use, these leviton fiber optic connectors don't require crimp tools, epoxies or heat curing, and take about 2 minutes each to install. thread-lock connectors have a typical insertion loss of 0.20db, and come in sc and st varieties, with duplex clips available.
ideal for protecting and organizing optical splice fibers, the leviton dps optical splice enclosure is designed to complement any 19" or 23" rack mount application. the dps optical splice enclosure is constructed of rugged aluminum, and features front and rear hinged doors (with an optional key lock) for convenient access to fibers and splice trays. available in 3u, 4u and 6u sizes, this leviton enclosure is nebs gr-63 compliant, and is perfect for use with legacy systems.

University of Utah track and field athlete Lauren McCluskey was found shot dead Monday night in the backseat of a vehicle outside a campus dormitory, according to university police. The suspected shooter was 37-year-old Melvin Rowland, a man McCluskey’s family said she had recently stopped dating. Rowland’s body was found a few hours later at a church; police said he died by suicide.
At a press conference, university police chief Dale Brophy said that McCluskey had filed a police report with them “on Oct. 12 and Oct. 13” about threats from Rowland. There was “some follow-up” and it was assigned to a detective who was “working to build a case against our suspect at that time,” Brophy said. The police chief would not go into further details about what happened with that investigation.
On Monday night, Brophy said that police got a call from a frantic mother saying “something happened to her daughter.” In a statement released by the McCluskey family, McCluskey’s mother said that she was on the phone with her daughter that night when she suddenly heard Lauren McCluskey yell “no no no!” Afraid her daughter was in a car accident, she stayed on the line while her husband called 911. A few minutes later, the family statement said, “a young woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren’s things were on the ground.” It was the last time she spoke with her daughter.
Police officers went to the parking lot and found McCluskey’s body, Brophy said. The university issued an alert and an order for students to “secure-in-place.” It was lifted at 11:46 p.m., according to the university’s website, after police determined that Rowland was no longer on campus. Brophy said that Rowland was picked up by a vehicle and, about 1:15 a.m. he was spotted by Salt Lake City police who ran after him. Rowland got inside the Trinity AME Church, where he killed himself. A retired pastor told the Salt Lake Tribune that, to the best of his knowledge, Rowland didn’t attend the church and he had no idea why he chose that building.
The family of McCluskey, 21, said that their daughter had dated Rowland for about a month. She ended the relationship after she learned about his criminal history.
Lauren was a senior student athlete on the University of Utah track team. She was an outstanding student with a 3.75 GPA majoring in Communication and was excited to graduate in May 2019. She was a 2015 honors graduate of Pullman High School where she was Washington state champion in the high jump and the school record holder in the 100 meter hurdles. She attended Capital Church in Salt Lake City. She loved to sing and had strength and determination. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
Police said the two had been in a “prior relationship,” but wouldn’t comment further. According to Utah Department of Corrections, Rowland was convicted in 2004 of enticing a minor, a second-degree felony, and attempted forcible sexual abuse, a third-degree felony. His last known home, Brophy said, was a halfway house.

Gimme S'more - A School Superintendent's thoughts on education, community, parenting, and more.
What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make him walk more than a mile? It's not a party with paper hats or a case of candy that makes him fat, THAT’S NOT WHAT HIPPOS DO! Nooooo. They, ooze through the gooze without any shoes, they wade through the water till' their lips turn blue, that’s what hippos do!
Just in case you were wondering what makes a hippo smile, right?
Before you jump to the conclusion that I have lost my mind, let me explain. For some, the introductory lines of this blog will ring familiar. They are the lyrics to one of many songs that will echo through acres of forests, hillsides, and riverbanks during the months of June, July and August. These songs will be sung by a passionate army of young children who, along with their mentors and idols, will be participating in a ritual cherished by the inner child in so many of us--SLEEPAWAY CAMP!
It’s February, which means families across the country are securing their spots at one of over 8,400 U.S. sleepaway camps and over 5,600 certified day camps. Have you reserved your spot yet? If not, let me explain why I think you should.
As a parent of three and a former camper, camp counselor, and camp director, I cannot impress upon parents enough the meaningful impact summer camp can have on children. In my parent education classes, I often refer to sleepaway camp as the single most important and impactful experience a parent can provide their child. For most children, sleepaway camp develops the skills and mindsets parents so earnestly want to impart upon their children and does so in ways that we parents are sometimes unable to do. So why am I such a passionate advocate for sleepaway camp?
It’s easy for a parent to forget that our number one responsibility is to prepare our children to LEAVE US. It’s counterintuitive, really. We spend so much of our lives connecting with these little beings that grow up so quickly. We offer them all we have. In them, we place our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Only to have them roll their eyes when we perse our lips for a kiss as they leave the car and say, “Gross, mom. My friends will see. Ugh!” As our kids grow older they need us less. And they should. If you want to measure your success as a parent (and I don’t necessarily recommend that you do), consider how well you are preparing your children to leave you.
Sleepaway camp is the single most important resource that I have found that helps prepare our children for healthy individuation. Individuation is a psychological term (coined by Carl Jung) that describes the process of self-actualization. In basic terms, a child’s individuation begins when he/she starts to see him/herself as separate from the parent. As much as we might not feel comfortable with the idea of our child separating more from us, it is an essential part of the process of a child becoming a healthy adult. At sleepaway camp, our children are given the opportunity to see themselves through a lens separate from their parents. The very nature of spending several days and nights without parents in a safe and controlled environment allows children to expand their view of themselves in relationship to the world around them. Their identities away from us are allowed space to grow.
Of all of the gifts sleepaway camp provides us parents, it’s personal responsibility and independence that are often the most gratifying. After years as a camp counselor and director, the response I most often heard from parents after their children returned from camp was appreciation that their child was helping out more around the house. Parents would comment that they didn’t have to ask their child to take their dishes to the sink, rinse them off, and put them in the dishwasher...it just happened! Parents were shocked to find their child had actually made their bed in the morning.
At most sleepaway camps (and if this is NOT the case for your child’s camp, I would encourage you to find another one), personal responsibility is the cornerstone of daily life. Daily chore charts that require every camper to participate include jobs like: wait the tables in the dining hall, wash dishes, deliver mail, vacuum, collect and empty garbage, etc. At many camps, the kids are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. YES, even toilets. My favorite job to be assigned was “super spatula.” This job entails scraping all of the food off of the plates at mealtime onto one main plate and then transferring the “ORT” (or leftover food morsels) to the “ort bucket,” the contents of which would be fed to the pigs at the camp’s farm.
Our children can be forgiven for thinking that the world they live in is universal. After all, many of our children haven’t had the opportunity to see much of the world during their young years. Sleepaway camp, particularly those that attempt to attract children and staff from different cities, regions, and backgrounds, provide our children with new and unique experiences and the opportunity to navigate and negotiate social situations that involve people who are different from them and the friends they interact with every day. Often, many sleepaway camps will hire staff from one of several international staffing agencies, thus diversifying the experience even more. Camp program staff design clinics, courses, and experiences that are likely to be novel for the campers, thus expanding a camper’s view on what he/she might enjoy or be good at. I have had the good fortune of observing scores of campers find new hobbies, interest, and passions from just one experience at camp. I know campers who have become chefs from having participated in outdoor cooking classes or children who have become veterinarians as a result of attending horse/ranch camp.
With peers: Ask any adult who has spent time as a camper or staff at a summer camp and they will most likely have close friends today that they met at camp, as well as an army of others that may not be as close, but whose sleepaway camp bond keeps them connected for a lifetime. Children learn not only how to build and maintain relationships with peers, but they also learn the VALUE of deep, supportive friendships. Especially as kids get older, I find that they appreciate having a world outside of school where friends “accept them for who they are.” At camp, children are able to let go of so much more of the pressures of “fitting in” and “measuring up” because they are in a new space. Not to mention, most sleepaway camps provide a technology-free environment for children to cultivate friendship the old-fashioned way--through conversation and shared experience--NOT through social media.
With non-parent adults: In an age when the pressures and distractions our children face are only increasing, one of the best defenses against childhood and teen depression, anxiety, and self-harm is a supportive adult outside the family that your child knows they can turn to. In school settings we ensure that each child has at least one adult on campus they know they can talk to, and a camp experience widens the net of available confidantes for our children. As our kids individuate, their bonds with other adults become more important. They will value and look up to role models they trust, and those trusted adults become part of the village that helps raise our children. As a “retired” counselor, I can’t tell you how many now-grown campers still reach out to me for support, advice, or just a friendly and non-judgmental ear. It is a privilege for me to me held in that esteem, but also a helpful relationship for them as they navigate their way through young adulthood. I know the counselors whom I most respected held that role for me and my life is better for it.
With YOU: Before you worry that sending your child off to meet and bond with other adults will diminish your own relationship, fear not. Consider that a child whose parents trust them enough to 1) send them to camp and 2) encourage them to seek mentorship outside the parental relationship feels valued and supported, and will actually respect you more for that freedom. I find that as children grow up, the parents with whom they feel closest are the ones who have learned to loosen the strings appropriately. We want the best for our kids, and helping them grow a network of close adults who can provide advice and support is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. Believe me, they will not forget about you – they will love you for the experience!
When I was a child, my friends and I were free to ride our bikes to the far ends of the earth (or at least that what it felt like) to discover our own adventures. We explored the outdoors with a lightness and whimsy that is often frowned upon today. Even though our neighborhoods are much safer than they have ever been, providing the freedom for children to explore the great outdoors feels too risky a venture for most parents. And even if we did provide that freedom, the draw of technology or the scheduling of numerous sports and activities has our children indoors and/or booked most of the time.
Sleepaway camp is a ticket outdoors without the worry of putting children’s safety at risk.
You don’t need me to remind you of the myriad of benefits being outdoors has on our health and wellbeing. There’s plenty of great research out there to tell you that being outdoors can do wonders to your body, mind, and spirit. However, maybe we all need to be reminded that our children need it, too. Desperately. And if you are like me and live in the middle of massive suburbia with all of its pressure, stress, noise, and competing interests, then we share an even greater need to get out in the great outdoors. Sleepaway camp provides this necessary connection to the natural world for our children.
Below is a graphic published by the American Camp Association that highlights some of the benefits campers, parents, and staff experience from camp.
I imagine that all this sleepaway camp talk has got you wondering a few things. Let me take a stab at answering the most likely questions you may have.
I am also a big supporter of day camps. In fact my own children attend several day camps in our area and love them. There are so many great options with specific sports, music, art or hobby foci. There are also more globally focused camps that try to address the teaching of innovation, adventure, or making skills. Day camps are a gradual entre to sleepaway camp, too. All that said, there is some developmental growth and experience that only sleepaway camp can provide. In my book, including at least one week of sleepaway camp in the summer plans, along with a smattering of day camps and family time is a great recipe for summer growth and respite.
How do I know my child is ready for sleepaway camp?
Begin with day camp experiences at least one year before signing up for sleepaway camp.
If possible, select a sleepaway camp that is near to your home when your child is younger. For those in the Bay Area, there are many options in the Santa Cruz Mountains and surrounding areas.
A one-week session is usually the perfect starting point for a new sleepaway camper.
Start talking about sleepaway camp early. My children hear about my sleepaway camp experiences all the time. Last summer we visited my former sleepaway camp in preparation for one of my children to begin this summer. He has been talking about starting ever since we visited.
Attend a family camp at your favorite sleepaway facility. Most camps properties provide family camp options during the off season. These are great opportunities to acclimate your children to sleepaway camp.
What are indicators of quality?
I’m going likely disappoint a lot of people by not recommending any specific camp. It’s not my job to presuppose a family’s needs and values; I also don’t want to leave any quality program out of my recommendations. That said, there are some great resources out there to help you identify a great camp for your child.
First get recommendations from people you trust. There is no better indicator of quality than the recommendation of friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Second, you want to make sure that the camp you choose is accredited. Accreditation ensures that camps have the proper facility maintenance, staff training and support, safety plans and measures, and philosophical approach. The American Camp Association is the largest accreditation organizations in the U.S., but there are others. To ensure that the camp is a right fit, you can also read online reviews and take a visit. Camps welcome parent visitors to their facilities to discover more; take them up on that welcome.
Sending your child to camp, especially the first time, with a friend is a great way to ease the anxiety that they--or more likely, you--have about being away from home for an extended period. Homesickness is real for many kids, even the most well adjusted and outgoing. Attending with a friend can help create just enough comfort, allowing kids, especially the younger ones, to adjust quickly to being away from home. Often, after the first experience with a friend, the childhood fears dissipate greatly. While attending with a friend is a great strategy, I do recommend providing at least occasional camp options that don’t always include the same group of kids your children hang out with at school or in sports/scouts/church, etc. Having an experience that challenges children to get out of their comfort zones is valuable; attending sleepaway camp with a team and coach they are always with is great, but there is growth in providing experiences with children and staff with whom a camper is unfamiliar.
What if I can’t afford camp?
Many camps offer financial aid and scholarships, as well as discounts. If you are interested in sending your child to sleepaway camp, but worry about the cost, contact the camp you’re interested in attending and ask about financial assistance. Another strategy for managing costs is to get your child excited about sleepaway camp and use earning money toward camp as an incentive or a substitute for expensive gifts at birthday and holiday times. Having a birthday party? Instead of receiving a dozen toys as gifts that will get broken and lost within two weeks, ask folks to donate to your child’s sleepaway camp fund. Many faith-based organizations and local community groups also sponsor summer camp experiences that are low or no cost. If you have the will to send your child to sleepaway camp, there are ways to make it happen.
All this talk about camp makes me nostalgic for my camp days. Nature hikes, horseback rides, all-camp capture the flag, campouts under the stars, the sounds of a dozen hammers pounding leather, S’mores and camp songs by the campfire as fireflies light up the night sky. I’m not sure what can make a hippopotamus smile, but I am sure there’s nothing like belting the song out at the top of my lungs with new and lifelong friends.
If my words have piqued your interest, you might want to sign your child up soon. Spots often fill up in January and February for the summer at most of the best sleepaway camps. Give your camp a call today and feel free to let me know how it goes once the summer wraps up.
What can make a hippopotamus smile? What can make him walk more than a mile? It’s not a tune on the old violin, or listenin’ to the whistlin’ wind. THAT’S NOT WHAT HIPPO'S DO! Noooo. They, ooze through the gooze with batting shoes, they wade through the water till' their lips turn blue, that's what hippos do! Yes, THAT’S what hippos do!

just in case you were wondering what makes a hippo smile, right?
before you jump to the conclusion that i have lost my mind, let me explain. for some, the introductory lines of this blog will ring familiar. they are the lyrics to one of many songs that will echo through acres of forests, hillsides, and riverbanks during the months of june, july and august. these songs will be sung by a passionate army of young children who, along with their mentors and idols, will be participating in a ritual cherished by the inner child in so many of us--sleepaway camp!
it’s february, which means families across the country are securing their spots at one of over 8,400 u.s. sleepaway camps and over 5,600 certified day camps. have you reserved your spot yet? if not, let me explain why i think you should.
as a parent of three and a former camper, camp counselor, and camp director, i cannot impress upon parents enough the meaningful impact summer camp can have on children. in my parent education classes, i often refer to sleepaway camp as the single most important and impactful experience a parent can provide their child. for most children, sleepaway camp develops the skills and mindsets parents so earnestly want to impart upon their children and does so in ways that we parents are sometimes unable to do. so why am i such a passionate advocate for sleepaway camp?
it’s easy for a parent to forget that our number one responsibility is to prepare our children to leave us. it’s counterintuitive, really. we spend so much of our lives connecting with these little beings that grow up so quickly. we offer them all we have. in them, we place our hopes, dreams, and aspirations. only to have them roll their eyes when we perse our lips for a kiss as they leave the car and say, “gross, mom. my friends will see. ugh!” as our kids grow older they need us less. and they should. if you want to measure your success as a parent (and i don’t necessarily recommend that you do), consider how well you are preparing your children to leave you.
sleepaway camp is the single most important resource that i have found that helps prepare our children for healthy individuation. individuation is a psychological term (coined by carl jung) that describes the process of self-actualization. in basic terms, a child’s individuation begins when he/she starts to see him/herself as separate from the parent. as much as we might not feel comfortable with the idea of our child separating more from us, it is an essential part of the process of a child becoming a healthy adult. at sleepaway camp, our children are given the opportunity to see themselves through a lens separate from their parents. the very nature of spending several days and nights without parents in a safe and controlled environment allows children to expand their view of themselves in relationship to the world around them. their identities away from us are allowed space to grow.
of all of the gifts sleepaway camp provides us parents, it’s personal responsibility and independence that are often the most gratifying. after years as a camp counselor and director, the response i most often heard from parents after their children returned from camp was appreciation that their child was helping out more around the house. parents would comment that they didn’t have to ask their child to take their dishes to the sink, rinse them off, and put them in the dishwasher...it just happened! parents were shocked to find their child had actually made their bed in the morning.
at most sleepaway camps (and if this is not the case for your child’s camp, i would encourage you to find another one), personal responsibility is the cornerstone of daily life. daily chore charts that require every camper to participate include jobs like: wait the tables in the dining hall, wash dishes, deliver mail, vacuum, collect and empty garbage, etc. at many camps, the kids are responsible for cleaning their own bathrooms. yes, even toilets. my favorite job to be assigned was “super spatula.” this job entails scraping all of the food off of the plates at mealtime onto one main plate and then transferring the “ort” (or leftover food morsels) to the “ort bucket,” the contents of which would be fed to the pigs at the camp’s farm.
our children can be forgiven for thinking that the world they live in is universal. after all, many of our children haven’t had the opportunity to see much of the world during their young years. sleepaway camp, particularly those that attempt to attract children and staff from different cities, regions, and backgrounds, provide our children with new and unique experiences and the opportunity to navigate and negotiate social situations that involve people who are different from them and the friends they interact with every day. often, many sleepaway camps will hire staff from one of several international staffing agencies, thus diversifying the experience even more. camp program staff design clinics, courses, and experiences that are likely to be novel for the campers, thus expanding a camper’s view on what he/she might enjoy or be good at. i have had the good fortune of observing scores of campers find new hobbies, interest, and passions from just one experience at camp. i know campers who have become chefs from having participated in outdoor cooking classes or children who have become veterinarians as a result of attending horse/ranch camp.
with peers: ask any adult who has spent time as a camper or staff at a summer camp and they will most likely have close friends today that they met at camp, as well as an army of others that may not be as close, but whose sleepaway camp bond keeps them connected for a lifetime. children learn not only how to build and maintain relationships with peers, but they also learn the value of deep, supportive friendships. especially as kids get older, i find that they appreciate having a world outside of school where friends “accept them for who they are.” at camp, children are able to let go of so much more of the pressures of “fitting in” and “measuring up” because they are in a new space. not to mention, most sleepaway camps provide a technology-free environment for children to cultivate friendship the old-fashioned way--through conversation and shared experience--not through social media.
with non-parent adults: in an age when the pressures and distractions our children face are only increasing, one of the best defenses against childhood and teen depression, anxiety, and self-harm is a supportive adult outside the family that your child knows they can turn to. in school settings we ensure that each child has at least one adult on campus they know they can talk to, and a camp experience widens the net of available confidantes for our children. as our kids individuate, their bonds with other adults become more important. they will value and look up to role models they trust, and those trusted adults become part of the village that helps raise our children. as a “retired” counselor, i can’t tell you how many now-grown campers still reach out to me for support, advice, or just a friendly and non-judgmental ear. it is a privilege for me to me held in that esteem, but also a helpful relationship for them as they navigate their way through young adulthood. i know the counselors whom i most respected held that role for me and my life is better for it.
with you: before you worry that sending your child off to meet and bond with other adults will diminish your own relationship, fear not. consider that a child whose parents trust them enough to 1) send them to camp and 2) encourage them to seek mentorship outside the parental relationship feels valued and supported, and will actually respect you more for that freedom. i find that as children grow up, the parents with whom they feel closest are the ones who have learned to loosen the strings appropriately. we want the best for our kids, and helping them grow a network of close adults who can provide advice and support is one of the greatest gifts we can give them. believe me, they will not forget about you – they will love you for the experience!
when i was a child, my friends and i were free to ride our bikes to the far ends of the earth (or at least that what it felt like) to discover our own adventures. we explored the outdoors with a lightness and whimsy that is often frowned upon today. even though our neighborhoods are much safer than they have ever been, providing the freedom for children to explore the great outdoors feels too risky a venture for most parents. and even if we did provide that freedom, the draw of technology or the scheduling of numerous sports and activities has our children indoors and/or booked most of the time.
sleepaway camp is a ticket outdoors without the worry of putting children’s safety at risk.
you don’t need me to remind you of the myriad of benefits being outdoors has on our health and wellbeing. there’s plenty of great research out there to tell you that being outdoors can do wonders to your body, mind, and spirit. however, maybe we all need to be reminded that our children need it, too. desperately. and if you are like me and live in the middle of massive suburbia with all of its pressure, stress, noise, and competing interests, then we share an even greater need to get out in the great outdoors. sleepaway camp provides this necessary connection to the natural world for our children.
below is a graphic published by the american camp association that highlights some of the benefits campers, parents, and staff experience from camp.
i imagine that all this sleepaway camp talk has got you wondering a few things. let me take a stab at answering the most likely questions you may have.
i am also a big supporter of day camps. in fact my own children attend several day camps in our area and love them. there are so many great options with specific sports, music, art or hobby foci. there are also more globally focused camps that try to address the teaching of innovation, adventure, or making skills. day camps are a gradual entre to sleepaway camp, too. all that said, there is some developmental growth and experience that only sleepaway camp can provide. in my book, including at least one week of sleepaway camp in the summer plans, along with a smattering of day camps and family time is a great recipe for summer growth and respite.
how do i know my child is ready for sleepaway camp?
begin with day camp experiences at least one year before signing up for sleepaway camp.
if possible, select a sleepaway camp that is near to your home when your child is younger. for those in the bay area, there are many options in the santa cruz mountains and surrounding areas.
a one-week session is usually the perfect starting point for a new sleepaway camper.
start talking about sleepaway camp early. my children hear about my sleepaway camp experiences all the time. last summer we visited my former sleepaway camp in preparation for one of my children to begin this summer. he has been talking about starting ever since we visited.
attend a family camp at your favorite sleepaway facility. most camps properties provide family camp options during the off season. these are great opportunities to acclimate your children to sleepaway camp.
what are indicators of quality?
i’m going likely disappoint a lot of people by not recommending any specific camp. it’s not my job to presuppose a family’s needs and values; i also don’t want to leave any quality program out of my recommendations. that said, there are some great resources out there to help you identify a great camp for your child.
first get recommendations from people you trust. there is no better indicator of quality than the recommendation of friends, neighbors, and colleagues. second, you want to make sure that the camp you choose is accredited. accreditation ensures that camps have the proper facility maintenance, staff training and support, safety plans and measures, and philosophical approach. the american camp association is the largest accreditation organizations in the u.s., but there are others. to ensure that the camp is a right fit, you can also read online reviews and take a visit. camps welcome parent visitors to their facilities to discover more; take them up on that welcome.
sending your child to camp, especially the first time, with a friend is a great way to ease the anxiety that they--or more likely, you--have about being away from home for an extended period. homesickness is real for many kids, even the most well adjusted and outgoing. attending with a friend can help create just enough comfort, allowing kids, especially the younger ones, to adjust quickly to being away from home. often, after the first experience with a friend, the childhood fears dissipate greatly. while attending with a friend is a great strategy, i do recommend providing at least occasional camp options that don’t always include the same group of kids your children hang out with at school or in sports/scouts/church, etc. having an experience that challenges children to get out of their comfort zones is valuable; attending sleepaway camp with a team and coach they are always with is great, but there is growth in providing experiences with children and staff with whom a camper is unfamiliar.
what if i can’t afford camp?
many camps offer financial aid and scholarships, as well as discounts. if you are interested in sending your child to sleepaway camp, but worry about the cost, contact the camp you’re interested in attending and ask about financial assistance. another strategy for managing costs is to get your child excited about sleepaway camp and use earning money toward camp as an incentive or a substitute for expensive gifts at birthday and holiday times. having a birthday party? instead of receiving a dozen toys as gifts that will get broken and lost within two weeks, ask folks to donate to your child’s sleepaway camp fund. many faith-based organizations and local community groups also sponsor summer camp experiences that are low or no cost. if you have the will to send your child to sleepaway camp, there are ways to make it happen.

This title is a comprehensive account of the key aspects of medical leadership. A highly accessible, text book-style resource, it explores how the medical profession has evolved in tandem with administrative and structural aspects of the NHS. Assuming leadership roles at all stages of their training and career is a progressively vital component of the definition of a good doctor. This book will provide invaluable support and guidance to anyone engaged in leadership within the NHS, but particularly to junior doctors in the primary and secondary care arenas taking on leadership roles for the first time.
An introduction to medical leadership and engagement: a perspective on this text. A historical perspective on medical leadership. Doctors and managers: differing perspectives. Roles and models of leadership. Medical leadership competency approaches. Why does it matter? Medical engagement and organisational performance. Medical leadership and primary care. Appraisal and revalidation. Practical examples of initiatives to enhance leadership capacity. Medical leadership and engagement: towards cultural acceptance and the future.
Peter Spurgeon was Director of the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham prior to joining Warwick Medical School (WMS). At WMS he was originally based in the Institute of Clinical Leadership, which ran programmes in medical leadership for undergraduate and postgraduate doctors. The Institute also offered development programmes for newly qualified doctors and developed a Certificate and Masters programme in Medical Leadership.Peter was Project Director for five years on the Enhancing Engagement in Medical Leadership project, run jointly by the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. This project produced the Medical Leadership Competency Framework (MLCF), now endorsed by the General Medical Council as part of undergraduate and postgraduate training. It also formed the basis of a modified Clinical Leadership Competency Framework for all clinical professionals and ultimately the Leadership Framework for all NHS staff groups.The project also produced the Medical Engagement Scale (MES), which provides a metric of the level of engagement of the medical workforce in the wider goals of the organisation. Peter has overseen the subsequent use of this measure to its current position of an international comparative database of some 7000 doctors. The sustained link between levels of medical engagement and organisational performance has seen increasing attention given to both assessment and development of enhanced engagement.Peter is now a Recognised Researcher in the Social Science and Systems in Health Unit of the Division of Health Sciences at WMS.
John Clark is is an Honorary Associate Professor within the University of Warwick Medical School and was involved in the design and delivery of a new Masters in Medical Leadership. He is also an Adjunct Professor in Clinical Leadership, Curtin University, Western Australia and an Associate Editor of The International Journal of Clinical Leadership. John was previously a Senior Fellow in Leadership Development at The King’s Fund where he engaged in strategies to enhance medical and clinical engagement in the NHS, building on his international research and consultancy on doctors' leadership.
