College camp offers ‘well-rounded’ experience

Last year, my wife, Gina, told our sons, "I’d really like you to pick one week of summer camp that doesn’t involve a ball or a puck."

Joey (8), Tommy (7) and dad all said the same thing in unison, "Why?" It really seemed like the only reasonable question. I mean, that’s what you do in the summer. You play sports.

"I want you to do one week of camp where you get some culture," she implored. "Wouldn’t you like to do an art or a music camp? Or perhaps a camp at a local college where you aren’t outside all day? You can’t just do sports. You need to be well-rounded!"
