¡HOLA!
American Camp Association facilita la labor
a las familias hispanoparlantes interesadas
en la experiencia de los campamentos para
sus hijos
5 de abril de 2005, INDIANAPOLIS, IN—Para
hacer a los padres hispanoparlantes más
fácil y cómoda la labor de
encontrar información sobre la experiencia
del campamento para sus hijos, American
Camp Association (ACA) lanza un sitio en
la Red dedicado a la familia y de fácil
navegación, y un folleto en español.
El sitio matriz, www.CampParents.org,
en español forma parte de las iniciativas
de concienciación de ACA, diseñadas
para presentar los beneficios de los campamentos
a nuevas familias. Además, se ha
creado un folleto nuevo, Destinación
CAMPAMENTO, para que los campamentos y las
oficinas locales de ACA lo usen como parte
de sus programas de acercamiento a las familias.
El sitio en la Red para las familias ofrece
consejo profesional de autoridades destacadas
en el campo del desarrollo infantil y de
expertos en campamentos de ACA. Fundada
en 1910 y diseñada para garantizar
la calidad de los programas de campamento
en todo el país, American Camp Association
es la única organización educativa,
acreditadora y sin fines lucrativos del
país que cuenta con más de
7.000 profesionales de campamentos. Como
autoridad destacada en el desarrollo infantil,
ACA trabaja para conservar, promocionar
y mejorar la experiencia de campamento en
más de 2.400 campamentos en Estados
Unidos.
"En ACA, pensamos que 'los campamentos
ofrecen a los niños muchísimos
beneficios'. Y queremos que "muchísimos
niños" disfruten de la experiencia
y la aventura de ir a un campamento. Este
nuevo sitio en español en la Red
facilita a padres y niños de origen
hispano el acceso a la información
y los recursos disponibles", afirma
Harriet Gamble, directora de comunicaciones
de ACA.
"Los campamentos son una tradición
americana y las mejores tradiciones son
inclusivas y ofrecen diversidad. Estamos
comprometidos", declara Peg Smith,
directora ejecutiva de ACA, "a proporcionar
a todos los niños la oportunidad
de aprender lecciones importantes sobre
la comunidad, la confianza en sí
mismos, el descubrimiento, el desarrollo
de la personalidad y destrezas, y la vida
sana, lecciones que sólo se aprenden
en los campamentos".
Los padres hispanoparlantes pueden ahora
acceder a información profesional
sobre los beneficios de los campamentos
y sobre los campamentos acreditados por
ACA, haciendo click en el enlace "Español".
El sitio ofrece información sobre
temas tales como:
cómo ubicar y elegir un campamento
que sea apropiado para su hijo de una
base de datos de más de 2.400 campamentos
de verano, de día y especializados.
Las instrucciones para el uso de esta
parte del sitio están en español,
pero las funciones de búsqueda
en la base de datos están en inglés.
cómo determinar si un niño
está listo para ir a un campamento.

de los padres"; "El momento
preciso, el campamento adecuado";

nostalgia"; "Cómo aprovechar
al máximo una visita al campamento";
