Send Your Kid to Camp At APA’s Annual Meeting

Hello mother, hello father, here I am at Camp Granada. Camp is very entertaining, and they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining. . . .
Children participating in APA’s child care program at the 2002 annual meeting are going to camp this year—not Camp Granada, however, but Camp APA. And they won’t have to worry about rain or poison ivy, because only fun can happen at Camp APA.
Camp APA will be operated by the professional child care group known as ACCENT on Children’s Arrangements Inc. Children aged 6 months to 17 years are welcome to participate. Camp APA will be housed at the Loews Hotel.
ACCENT’s trained supervisors are certified in both CPR and pediatric first aid. All staff, which includes teachers and mothers, have completed ACCENT’s specialized training program and have had their references thoroughly checked.
ACCENT on Children’s Arrangements has planned an engaging on-site children’s activity program offering a safe, nurturing, and positive experience geared to the children’s ages. For example, the program on Sunday, May 19, will transport youngsters to a Harry Potter–like world. They will learn magic tricks, make paper wizards who come alive magically, participate in costume parade with their fellow wizards, and have their faces painted while listening to fairy tales.
For an additional fee, children aged 6 and above may also take part in field trips that will introduce them to Philadelphia from a kid’s-eye view:
• Monday, May 20: “City Block of Science” will introduce campers to the Franklin Institute, a museum where kids perform science experiments and see science demonstrations by Benjamin Franklin himself.
• Tuesday, May 21: “Colonial Capers” will transport campers back to colonial times as they visit Franklin Court, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, Elfreth’s Alley, and Fireman’s Hall.
• Wednesday, May 22: “Zoo to Do” will give campers an opportunity to explore the Philadelphia Zoo and enjoy its interactive exhibits.
The deadline for registration is May 6. More information about the program is available by calling (504) 524-0188. ▪
