CB*s Handle
By Cary Bernstein
Director of Youth Services
There are only two and a
half months left until summer
day camp begins and the camp
committee and I are busily
putting together all of the
plans to make this the best
summer ever for Camp Mac-
cabee. We are all very excited
about being on the site of the
new facility. With the con
struction of our own camp
pavilion we will be all set to go
on June 23 when the first ses
sion is scheduled to begin. One
of the factors that makes our
summer program so unique is
our dedication to hiring the
finest quality counselors and
specialists in the city. I am
assembling an excellent team
of workers who are prepared
to make sure that your camper
has an exciting and enriching
camp experience.
In addition to our regular
staff, I have hired the follow
ing specialists: Millie Camp
bell, the JOG aquatics director,
will be supervising our camp
water front program. Millie
formerly was assistant aqua
tics director at the Harris
YMCA and has instructed
swimming for many years in
the Charlotte area. Our camp
sports specialist is Pauline
Tulson. Pauline has worked for
the JCC in past summers and
brings to us her extensive
knowledge of sports and fit
ness programs for children. In
addition to being an excellent
tennis instructor, Pauline has
worked in several of our Char
lotte area schools both design
ing and implementing athletic
programs for children. David
Heustess will return for his se
cond summer as the camp
creative movement and dance
instructor. David, who is cur
rently studying demce at Cen
tral Piedmont Community
College, has been teaching
creative movement classes at
the JCC for preschoolers and
we are looking forward to con
tinuing to work with him
throughout the summer. I am
still interviewing candidates
for both drama and nature
crafts.
Class Update
I am putting together a
series of workshops and
samplers, scheduled to begin
when the new facility opens.
We plan to have a limited
number of programs for
children for the building open
ing and a full slate of classes
to be offered in the fall.
College Students
I am still in the process of
collecting names for a mailing
list of college students. If you
are in college (or are the
parents of coUege students)
please send me your home and
college address.
