  • Called on the Trump Administration
    July 2, 2020 President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: We represent the sponsors, businesses, and industries that recruit, host, and support Exchange Visitor Program participants every year. We are opposed to the inclusion of J-1 visa programs in the June 22 Presidential proclamation suspending some nonimmigrant visas through December 31, 2020. We request that the Administration use the 30-day review required by the proclamation to enable these programs to continue. As part of the Administration’s foreign policy tools, there has always been strong support for people-to-people diplomacy programs. Exchange Visitor Program participants support our economy by enabling year-round American employment in local communities and among families. Without cultural exchange participants, many American host employers will have to cut back services to customers, reducing already diminished revenue, which could lead to lay-offs of American employees. These programs are important to American businesses as many host employers have unique needs, such as being located in rural, low population areas. Families also benefit, for example, from having au pairs who provide live- in childcare and cultural enrichment. Additionally, cultural exchange programs such as Camp Counselor, Intern and Trainee, and Summer Work Travel combined contribute more than $1.2 billion to the American economy each year. By law, these participants do not displace American workers. The impact on the international exchange community from the pandemic alone is projected to result in losses to our economy of more than $233 million and nearly 7,000 American jobs.

  • Communicate, 11:08
    AMERICAN CAMP ASSOCIATION, NEW ENGLAND • NOVEMBER 2008 the COMMUNICATE FINDING CAMP ON eBAY Gaile Schafer, who went to and worked at Camp Wawenock in Maine and sent both of her sons to Camp Pemigewassett in New Hampshire, was at her computer in Ohio one day, browsing eBay. “I don’t know what made me do it in the first place,” she said, “but I typed in ‘Wawenock.’” What began as a whim has since become her own personal challenge to find Wawenock ephemera to give back to the camp for its archive. “Once you have one lucky find, you can’t let it go,” said Gaile. On eBay, the aphorism ‘one person’s trash is another person’s treasure’ comes alive. Taking Gaile’s lead, I went trawling through eBay for merchandise from our accredited camps and came up with plenty of small tokens, including a luggage tag from Pinecliffe; postcards from O-AT-KA, Alford Lake, and New England Music Camp; a yearbook from Fernwood; a staff tank top from Kingsley Pines; a 1921 magazine ad for Luther Gulick Camps for Girls; a 1929 application for Timanous, filled out; and a book called The Camp Fire Girls at Camp Keewaydin; or, Down Paddles, by Hildegard G. Frey. I contacted several of the sellers, and few of them knew anything about the camps from which they’d collected paraphernalia. Herb Oberman, who had posted a 1941 camp photo from Walden, said he had no personal connection there, though he had attended YMCA and Boy Scout camps as a child in Michigan.

Maine has a long tradition of summer camps, many of which are now celebrating their centennial anniversa- ries! We can’t think of a better place in the country for a child to explore; to literally discover the beauty and diverse landscape of Maine, as well as to explore who they are and who they want to become with the backdrop of some of the most idyllic scenery, ripe for human reflection. This directory provides a listing of many of the most respected camps in the industry. Additional information, along with a “find a camp” tool, is available at www.mainecamps.org.

Time spent at a summer camp is fun as well as enriching.

And, to top it all off, they will create lasting bonds of friendship!
