Summer FUNdamentals Newsletters

www.bdms.org

July 29, 2010

SPECIAL ACTIVITIES NEXT WEDNESDAY: To celebrate the final week of camp this summer, we are planning some extra special activities next Wednesday, August 4th. More details will be available in our last camp newsletter of the season on Monday, August 2nd. One hint today is that one of them requires that participants wear a bathing suit and bring a towel, even if they don’t normally go swimming!

SURVEY FORMS ON LINE: Summer program survey forms, which were handed out Monday, are still available online at www.bdms.org, by going to the summer program link on the left side of the homepage. Please complete and return it as soon as possible so that we can share with our staff your positive comments as well as any good suggestions you have for improving what we do with the teachers and other activity directors before they also take off for the rest of the summer. As an added incentive to complete the form, everyone who returns one will be entered in a raffle with the prize being your choice of a $100 discount toward next year’s camp or a $50 target gift certificate!

FINAL PERFORMANCES PLANNED: Our wonderful drama, dance and cheerleading groups will take part in their final “performances” of the summer next Thursday, August 5th. As with the last two events, the drama classes will stage their skits beginning at 2 p.m. in our library and the dance and cheerleading classes will demonstrate their latest choreographed moves beginning at 3 p.m. in our gym.

CRAZY CLOTHES FRIDAY!: For a different twist on our usual Friday “dress down” days, students should wear their camp shirts this coming Friday, July 30th, but are encouraged to combine them with crazy, creative hats, and the wildest shorts or pants they can come up with. There will be prizes for the wackiest outfits!

END-OF-CAMP CAMP SHIRTS SALE. If you would like another camp shirt or two, a limited number are available at our front desk at an end-of-camp discount of $7 each.

So, you want to be a CIT? CITs (Counselors in Training) are former campers who are going into 9th or 10th grade.  Most CITs serve as a CIT for two years. Current campers and CITs who are interested in being a CIT for Summer FUNdamentals 2010 should look on our website (bdms.org) in February to download and print an application. Since we can only accommodate a limited number of CITs in camp each two-week session, places will be filled on a first-come, first served basis, once applications are available on the website.   

PLEASE SETTLE ACCOUNTS: Finally, as SumFUN comes to a close, please make sure all outstanding tuition and extension balances are taken care by the end of this week. WEEKLY LATE FEES WILL BE ADDED TO ANY BILLS THAT ARE NOT FULLY PAID BY THE END OF CAMP.

 

July 26, 2010

Welcome to the final two-week session of Summer FUNdamentals!  It’s great to see so many returning campers and a good number of new faces as well. Our mission now is to make this the best possible “send-off” so you’ll all come back again next year as well! To help us make it even more attractive for you to return next year, we have again included our program survey form on the back of this note, as I did at the start of the second session. Please complete and return it as soon as possible so that we can share with our staff your positive comments as well as any good suggestions you have for improving what we do with the teachers and other activity directors before they also take off for the rest of the summer. As an added incentive to complete the form, everyone who returns one will be entered in a raffle with the prize being your choice of a $100 discount toward next year’s camp or a $50 target gift certificate!

CATCH UP ON EARLY NOTES: For a list of summer staff members, details about our camp discipline policy, and other information about the start of camp, please check our website, www.bdms.org, to access newsletters sent out during the first four weeks of camp. CHECK THE WEBSITE ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY WHEN ANOTHER NEWSLETTER WILL BE POSTED. HARD COPIES OF THE NEWSLETTER WON’T BE SENT HOME WITH CAMPERS, BUT A LIMITED NUMBER WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR FRONT DESK. Below are a few additional reminders and some news from last week.

 

ENCORE PERFORMANCES PRAISED!  Kudos and cheers to all of the members of our drama, dance and cheerleading groups, and especially their directors, Scott Tabone, Jeanette and Jessica Perk, and KC Powles, for their second session performances this past Thursday!  The groups are tentatively scheduled to stage their final performances for the summer on Thursday, August 5th.

 

CAMP SHIRTS REQUIRED MONDAY-THURSDAY!  Just a friendly reminder to all of our campers.  SumFUN campers are expected to wear their camp shirts everyday. If you would like another camp shirt or two, a limited number are available at our front desk at an end-of-camp discount of $7 each.

 

CRAZY TOPPINGS…AND BOTTOMS!: For a different twist on our usual Friday “dress down” days, students should wear their camp shirts this coming Friday, July 30th, but are encouraged to combine them with crazy, creative hats, and the wildest shorts or pants they can come up with. There will be prizes for the wackiest outfits!

2ND ROUND CHESS CHAMPS CROWNED: Congratulations to the winners of the “second round” of chess class tournaments, announced last week by instructor Mr. Ernie Johnson. They are: Gr. 4-6 – Matt Nummy, 1st place, Katherine Gravel, 2nd place, and Matt Nemechek, 3rd place; Gr. 7-8 (Beginner Group) – Kayla Arriaga, 1st place, and Kimberly Bello, 2nd place; and Gr. 7-8 (Advanced) – Antonio Harris, 1st place, Will Trieste, 2nd place, and Justin Gartenberg, 3rd place.

 

GR.4-6 DROP-OFF SITE SHIFTED: For those new to our summer program this week, please be aware that because Mount Saint Mary College will be running its own basketball camp in the Kaplan gym through the next two weeks, students in our grade 4-6 group, who are being dropped off between 8:30 and 9 a.m., need to be taken to the Kaplan Annex entrance on the side of the main building. If you arrive after 9 a.m., please take your child directly to their first activity for the day, unless a counselor is in the lobby to escort them.

 

July 19, 2010

      While it may seem premature to be asked this question with half this year’s program still to go, we are very interested in getting your help to make next year’s Summer FUNdamentals even better. To that end, we would appreciate it if you would fill out the survey form on the reverse side of this newsletter. If this Friday will be your child’s last day at camp, please complete and return the form before you leave by dropping it off at our front desk. You can also mail it back to: Summer FUNdamentals,Bishop Dunn Memorial School, 50 Gidney Avenue, Newburgh, NY, 12550.. If you are planning to be here through the third summer session, hold on to the survey form until closer to the end of camp before completing and returning it. AS AN ADDED INCENTIVE TO COMPLETE THE FORM, EVERYONE WHO RETURNS ONE WILL BE ENTERED IN A RAFFLE WITH THE PRIZE BEING YOUR CHOICE OF A $100 DISCOUNT TOWARD NEXT YEAR’S CAMP OR A $50 TARGET GIFT CERTIFICATE!

DRESS UP WINNERS:  While there were no specific categories for this past Friday’s “Christmas in July Dress-up Day,” there were winners in every grade group for general colorfulness and creativity. Selected as winners by their counselors were: Gr. 2-3 – Theodore Friedrich, Victoria Zucco, and Katiana Dubuisson; Gr. 4-6 – Maya Bernsley, Alianna Lightbody, Matt Nummy, Emily Salvatore, and Mia Serrano; Gr. 7-8 – Kayla Arriaga, Kayli Berardinelli, Eddie Muschio, and Kerri O’Halloran.

SHOW YOUR SPORTS SPIRIT: This Friday, July 23rd, instead of wearing camp shirts, students and staff can show where their sports allegiance lies by wearing the shirt, hat or colors of their favorite sports team. Go Mets! Go Yankees! Go Team!

GR.4-6 DROP-OFF SITE SHIFTED: Because Mount Saint Mary College has begun its own sports clinics in the Kaplan gym through the rest of the summer, students in our grade 4-6 group, who are being dropped off between 8:30 and 9 a.m., need to be taken to the Kaplan Annex entrance on the side of the main building. Parents who are bringing their children after 9 a.m. need to take them directly to their first activity for the day. PLEASE WALK THEM TO THEIR ACTIVITY UNLESS A COUNSELOR IS IN THE LOBBY TO ESCORT THEM.

PERFORMANCES THURSDAY: As first announced last week, our drama, dance and cheerleading groups will be performing again for the close of our second two-week session. The performances will be held this Thursday, July 22nd. As we did in our first session, the drama members will perform at 2 p.m. and the dance and cheerleading demonstrations will take place beginning at 3 p.m.

TO TIP OR NOT TO TIP? Every year parents ask us if it is appropriate to tip their child’s counselors.  While tips are not expected, they are certainly appreciated.  All of our counselors are either high school or college students who work all summer and are grateful for your generosity. (For the names of our counselors, see our July 6th newsletter on the Bishop Dunn website at www.bdms.org.)

So, you want to be a CIT? CITs (Counselors in Training) are former campers who are going into 9th or 10th grade.  Most CITs serve as a CIT for two years. Current campers and CITs who are interested in being a CIT for Summer FUNdamentals 2010 should look on our website (bdms.org) in February to download and print an application.   

We do move in rain!  Unless there is thunder and/or lightning, campers will continue to move from one building to another as usual.  You may want to send your child with a rain slicker or waterproof jacket on rainy days.

 

July 15, 2010

In case you hadn’t noticed (all those who have been with us since June 28th,that is), camp is just about half over for the summer! Hopefully your children are all enjoying the experience, but please don’t hesitate to see one of the supervisors, if you need help fixing something that’s not working for you, or if you have a suggestion for improving what we are doing in any way. Speaking of half-way point, Mrs. Judy Greene, who has done a wonderful job working as one of our supervisors the first three weeks of camp, will be ending her “shift” this Friday. Replacing her on Monday will be Miss Brigid Killelea. Mrs. Susan Trieste and Mrs. Jennifer LoPresti will continue to “hold the fort” through the rest of camp as the other two supervisors. One other staff change that you might not have noticed, because the transition was so smooth, has Mrs. Nancy Benfer filling in so ably for our very-hard-to-replace, longtime science fun-and-games instructor, Mr. John Garzione. Mr. Garzione had to take a leave from camp this week and next due to an unexpected scheduling conflict, but will be back on board for session 3. See our July 6th newsletter for a listing of all the other members of our summer staff.

PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T LEAVE CARS RUNNING: We remain very anxious about cars being left running while parents come into school to pick up their children. Theft is one concern, but we are also concerned about a child running out to the car ahead of their parent (or worse, being left in the car) accidentally putting the vehicle into gear. We have also asked people not to park along the curb in front of our main entrance to little avail, which has created more potential hazardous conditions for others trying to drive past the vehicles and not see children walking across to the parking lot.  IF THE SITUATION DOESN’T IMPROVE, WE MAY GO BACK TO BLOCKING OFF THE FRONT ROAD DURING DISMISSAL, AS WE DO DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR!

CHESS CHAMPS NAMED: Congratulations to the winners of the “first round” of our chess class tournaments, announced last week by instructor Mr. Ernie Johnson. They are: Gr. 4-6 – Rachel Irish, 1st place, Roman Pianka, 2nd place, and Clint Enright, 3rd place; Gr. 7-8 – Justin Gartenberg, 1st place, David Atlas, 2nd place, and Will Trieste, 3rd place.

WE NEED PICK-UP REPLACEMENT NOTICES: If you are planning to have someone pick up your child who does not normally do so, please send a note in with your child in the morning identifying the person. If you need to make a change in your pick-up person during the day, call our main office at 569-3494, and identify the person who will be getting your child that day.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY CELEBRATED:  This coming Friday, July 16th, instead of wearing their camp shirts, students and staff are encouraged to “chill out” in Christmas in July clothing or accessories. So come dressed in red or green, wearing Jingle Bell hats or other holiday season finery. There will be prizes for the most colorful and creative Christmas outfits!!

SCHEDULES ARE FINAL: Please be aware that camp schedules cannot be changed for session two.  If you would like to make a change for the third session, or sign your child up for another two weeks, please contact our main office at 569-3494 by Wednesday, July 21st.

PERFORMANCES NEXT THURSDAY: Our drama, dance and cheerleading groups are planning performances for the close of our second two-week session. The performances will be held on Thursday, July 22nd, in the afternoon. As we did in our first session, the drama members will perform at 2 p.m. and the dance and cheerleading demonstrations will take place beginning at 3:00 p.m.

Summer Fundamentals has a permit to operate as required by the Orange County Department of Health.  This camp is required to be inspected twice annually.  Copies of inspection reports are on file and are available for review at the O.C. Dept. of Health, Division of Environmental Health, 124 Main Street, Goshen, NY.

Welcome to Session Two! It’s hard to believe we are already into our second session.  To all of our new campers: Welcome!  To all of our returning campers: Welcome back!!  For a list of summer staff members, details about our camp discipline policy, and other information about the start of camp, please check our website, www.bdms.org, to access newsletters sent out during our opening two-week session. Below are a few additional reminders and some news from last week. (Please check the website for additional newsletters.)

SCHEDULES ARE FINAL: Please be aware that camp schedules cannot be changed for session two.  If you would like to make a change for the third session, or sign your child up for another two weeks, please contact our main office at 569-3494 by Wed., July 21st. 

PERFORMANCES PRAISED!  Congratulations to all of the members of our drama, dance and cheerleading groups, and especially their directors, Scott Tabone, Jeanette Perk, and KC Powles, for their wonderful performances this past Thursday!  The groups are tentatively scheduled to perform again on Thursday, July 22nd.

CAMP SHIRTS REQUIRED MONDAY-THURSDAY!  Just a friendly reminder to all of our campers.  SumFUN campers are expected to wear their camp shirts everyday. The exception will be on any Fridays when special "theme dress-up" days are announced in advance (see below).  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

FRIGID FRIDAY:  Last Friday, campers beat the heat in a “Day at the Beach Dress Up Day.” This coming Friday, July 16th, instead of wearing their camp shirts, students and staff are encouraged to “chill out” in Christmas in July clothing or accessories. So come dressed in red or green, wearing Jingle Bell hats or other holiday season finery. There will be prizes for the most colorful and creative Christmas outfits!!

CELL PHONES, ELECTRONIC GAMES NOT ALLOWED AT CAMP: Cell phones are not allowed at Summer FUNdamentals.  Parents who want their children to have phones for emergency purposes must tell their children to keep phones in bags.  THERE IS TO BE NO CALLING OR TEXT MESSAGING DURING CAMP.  To avoid problems with losing expensive toys, we don’t permit students to use electronic games during camp.

 

 July 6, 2010

OK, now it’s really summer! We had a little taste of hot weather last Monday, but were lucky to have beautifully balmy days the rest of the week. Now it’s back to the blistering heat, with no real relief in sight until Thursday or Friday. Fortunately, we have a fully (almost) air-conditioned building in which to escape from the heat. Since we do have to leave the building at least once a day to go swimming at the Kaplan Center (and would also like to get outside to run around the playground a little, if it’s not too hot), please remember to send sunblock with your child, and an extra cold bottle of water, wouldn’t hurt! About the part of Bishop Dunn that’s not air-conditioned. In case you somehow missed the information earlier, we are having lunches in our gym this summer, because the college’s cafeteria, which is the normal location for our meals, is being renovated. The switch to our gym has actually been quite pleasant in many ways, and the only disadvantage is that it’s not as cool as the rest of the building. Fortunately, the heavy duty fans there have been keeping the air flowing reasonably well, and no one has complained…at least not until this week’s heatwave!

***

THANKS TO STAFF FOR GOOD START: Before our first two-week session comes to a close, we thought you might like to know the names of all the people who have helped get this year’s camp off to such a good start.

July 1, 2010

Those who read our opening newsletter of the summer on our website on June 28, 2010, might be confused seeing this “hard copy” today, since the first note began with the message that all newsletters this summer would be online only and that we would not be handing out any copies in an effort to conserve paper. Since we are still not sure that everyone got that message, it was decided to send one newsletter home each two-week session, prominently including the reminder on it that ADDITIONAL NEWSLETTERS, LISTINGS OF SCHEDULED EVENTS, WEEKLY LUNCH MENUS, AND OTHER SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS CAN BE ACCESSED BY REGULARLY CHECKING THE WEBSITE, WWW.BDMS.ORG. OUR NEXT NEWSLETTER ON TUESDAY, JULY 6TH, CAN BE ACCESSED ONLINE AND ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF COPIES WILL BE AVAILABLE AT OUR FRONT DESK. Below is a short list of reminders and notices for the coming week, and on the back of this page is next week’s lunch menu.

***

CELEBRATE THE FOURTH EARLY: Tomorrow, July 2nd, campers and staff are encouraged to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue, instead of their regular camp shirts. Prizes will be awarded for the most creative, colorful outfits!

EARLY PICK-UP/LATE DROP OFF REMINDER: If campers need to be picked up early, please make sure to come to the front desk NO LATER THAN 3:45 P.M. Otherwise, you will have to wait until everyone is dismissed at 4 p.m. If a child is dropped off late (after 9 a.m.), BE SURE TO ESCORT THE CAMPER INTO THE BUILDING. If campers (grades 4-6) are being dropped off late at the Kaplan Center, they need to be escorted to their morning activity in the building since no one will be inside the lobby at that time to take them to the right place.

PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY ON CAMPUS: We have already had a number of reports of parents speeding through the campus on the way to drop off or pick up their children (including driving the wrong way on the one-way road in front of our main entrance!). Please understand that there a lot of children walking to and from the building at any given time, and unsafe driving can have disastrous consequences!

DON’T LEAVE CARS UNATTENDED: When you do stop to drop off or pick up a child, don’t leave your car open (or with the motor on!!!), but park and lock it. We have not had any problems with things being taken out of cars yet this summer, but certainly don’t want the word to get around that cars are being left open with valuables left on seats for anyone passing by to “grab and go.”

SWITCHING ACTIVITIES FOR SECOND SESSION: If you would like to change any activities that your child is scheduled to be in for the second session, please fill out a change request form at the front lobby desk by next Wednesday, July 7th, at the latest. If your child is not registered for our second or third two-week session, you can still do so by next Wednesday’s deadline.

HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY WEEKEND: Finally, we wanted to remind everyone that there is no camp Monday, July 5th, in celebration of the Independence Day Weekend.

June 28. 2010

Welcome to Summer FUNdamentals 2010!  We ‘re glad to have you here!

Bishop Dunn has gone green In an effort to conserve paper, this summer’s newsletters will again be posted on our website www.bdms.org.  A few paper copies of each newsletter will be made available at the front desk, but checking this site daily will be much more helpful in keeping you up to date on any special activities planned or changes in scheduled events or programs.

 

Camp Procedures and Policies: Please read the following carefully:

Drop off:  All campers who are dropped off between 7:30 - 8:30, should be dropped off at Bishop Dunn.  Between 8:30-8:45, 4th -6th graders should be taken to the Kaplan Center.  All other campers report to BDMS. SPECIAL NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO EARLY DROP-OFF ON THE FIRST DAY OF CAMP (MONDAY, JUNE 28). ALL CAMPERS SHOULD REPORT BETWEEN 8:45 AND 9:00 A.M.

Pick up: All campers are dismissed from Bishop Dunn.  Regular dismissal time begins at 4:00 p.m. and extension rates begin at 4:15.  Children who are not picked up by 4:15, will automatically be placed in our extended care program.

Extended Care: Morning extension begins at 7:30 a.m...Please do not drop off your children prior to 7:30!  All extension children should be dropped off at BDMS.  Afternoon extension is from 4:15-5:30. at Bishop Dunn.**Please note: for any child picked up after 5:30, there will be a flat rate of $5 per child for each 15 minutes.

Late Drop Off: If you drop your child off between 8:50—9:00, please escort your child to his/her first activity.  Any child who is dropped off after 9:00, needs to be  escorted into the building and signed in by a parent or guardian at the front desk of BDMS.

 

Camp Nurse/Medication:  Our camp nurse will be available for consultation or to drop off medication every morning in her office at BDMS from 9:00-9:30.  No medication, including pain relievers, can be given to campers without a doctor’s note.

 

Camp shirts are to be worn everyday!  Just a friendly reminder to all of our campers.  SumFUN campers are expected to wear their camp shirts everyday. The exception will be on any Fridays when special "theme dress-up" days are announced in advance.  Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Cell phones at camp: Cell phones are not allowed at Summer FUNdamentals.  Parents who want their children to have phones for emergency purposes must tell their children to keep phones in bags.  THERE IS TO BE NO CALLING OR TEXT MESSAGING DURING CAMP.  If a camper is ill, upset or needs to double check dismissal plans, s/he needs to approach a counselor, the nurse or a director and an adult will contact the parent.

We do move in rain!  Unless there is thunder and/or lightning, campers will continue to move from one building to another as usual.  You may want to send your child with a rain slicker or waterproof jacket on rainy days.

 

Drive carefully and lock up!  Please, please use caution when dropping off or picking up your child.  Since campers are constantly moving around the campus and need to frequently cross the road, alertness and a slow speed are essential when driving on campus.  Also, remember to lock your car and NEVER leave your car running in front of the building!

 

Camp Discipline Policy It is our belief that a safe camp is a happy camp!  In order to ensure a safe, orderly environment, we have implemented the following discipline policy here at SumFUN.  Please review this policy with your child, so s/he understands what is expected of him/her.

Strike One: If a camper is so distracting or disruptive that a counselor needs to remove him/her from the group; a camp director will be called and the camper will spend the rest of the day with the director.  The parent will be notified at dismissal.

Strike Two: If a camper is removed from the group a second time, the parent will be called and the camper will be asked to leave for the remainder of the day.

Strike Three: In the unlikely event that a camper is removed from the group a third time, the parent will be notified and the camper will be removed from camp for the remainder of the summer.

  

Program Directors: The camp directors welcome you to SumFUN 2010!  The directors are: Mr. DelViscio, Principal; Mrs. LoPresti, Program Coordinator; Mrs. Trieste, Mrs. Greene and  Miss Killelea, Program Directors;  Kelsey Rothert, Camp Nurse.  Do not hesitate to approach any of us with questions or concerns.

 

Summer Fundamentals has a permit to operate as required by the Orange County Department of Health.  This camp is required to be inspected twice annually.  Copies of inspection reports are on file and are available for review at the O.C. Dept. of Health, Division of Environmental Health, 124 Main Street, Goshen, NY.
