ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED Wyonegonic Camps

April 2007 Dear Friends, Children need nature to develop their sense of wonder; they need nature for opportunities for creative play; they need nature to better their mental, physical and spiritual health. Have you read, “The Last Child in the Woods,” by Richard Loev? I suggest his book as a MUST read for parents, educators, camp directors, city planners, medical personnel . . . His writing is filled with anecdotes and compelling research. He tells a story that is both scary and bright with hope. Some say the story he tells is as important as Rachel Carson’s book, “Silent Spring.” Kids are not going outside to play anymore. Research shows that children average 25 minutes a week outside. Loev says that we are raising a generation of nature deprived children. He calls the problem NDD, Nature Deprived Disorder and sites many reasons for this deprivation. Children do not get out because there is the fear factor of stranger/danger. Parents are scared and children sense their anxiety. The author suggests that the press is responsible for building up this fear and exaggerating many of these isolated stories. He also blames the legal community who place restrictions on our abilities to engage in feeling close to nature. In our own homes there is the seductive distraction of flat screens and video games. A growing number of our youth have obesity issues, and it is too much effort for these children to go outside and exercise. As a consequence children are not finding that “special place” in the woods, or stream, or canyon where they can wonder and wander. They are not finding a place where they can play. They are missing a spot where they can return when they need “time out” in a safe place outdoors. They need a place that is a refreshing change from electronics, homework and family and friends. Those of us who are adults probably return to our favorite place when the stress builds or things get tough. If not literally, the memories are there. Such memories have a calming effect. Our children need favorite places too for similar reasons. Do you remember such a place at Wyonegonic? Perhaps it was in the Pine Grove where you could lay on your back and watch the clouds pass by in imaginary shapes, or was it the huge rock at Freeman’s Point where you sat to witness the sun disappear behind the Western Wilderness? Maybe it was the creek in Junior Camp where you tried to catch tiny frogs? Maybe it was on the docks at night as you confirmed with a friend, shooting stars that zipped across the sky? Perhaps it was on canoe trips as you stared at the dwindling embers and let your mind drift? At Wyonegonic, we can immerse our campers and staff in ALL their senses every day in our outdoor classroom.. It is a place where we actually feel the wind in our sails on Moose Pond or in our hair on conquered mountain tops – not just learn about the scientific properties of wind in a classroom. We believe outdoor living is a necessity for nurturing children. We believe that nature is one of our greatest teachers. We believe Wyonegonic can replenish campers’ “nature needs” through experiences in the outdoors. Richard Loev reports good news too. He looks at the bright side of the issue because there are examples of creative steps being taken by city planners and educators. He sites that “green” change must evolve in the next forty years in order to save the mental health of our children. Institutions like schools, camps, nature centers and scouts will help lead the way and we will be more dependent on these institutions than ever. We need more than talk and learning about global warming; we need creative thinking and action. Loev predicts there will be so much change in the next few decades that your children, kids now in elementary school, will be majoring in classes that do not even exist today in the college curriculum. Loev states it is an opportunity for all of us to work together regardless of religion, politics, education or age. Nature needs our children to be the next stewards of the earth. As adults, we need to take them by the hand and get them outside to experience and learn about the power of nature. The next time you have a nice day and family time, pack up a picnic and head outdoors with your children to get their feet wet in the stream!
