Raising Three Savvy Ladies

Why We are Going Back to Oasis Day Camp Next Summer

My girls loved Oasis Day Camp this summer.  They loved it so much that I took advantage of the Returning Camper Early Bird Discount so that they would be ready to go again for the 2013 summer season.

We went to the Oasis Day Camp in Dobbs Ferry, NY.  This Westchester location resided at Mercy College overlooking the Hudson River.  Our summer schedules had us starting camp at the end of the summer.  I was a little apprehensive as to how they would do being the new girls after camp had been going on for weeks.  No worrying needed here!  Pick up on the first day was happy smiles and non-stop talking in the car about the friends they had made and how much fun they had.

The girls enjoyed the daily activities – swimming on site, sports, drama and a Talent Show.  It was important to me to go to a camp that offered swimming lessons too.  They participate in the American Red Cross swim program.  By the end of the time, it was obvious to me that the girls were building their confidence in the water and they were becoming stronger swimmers.

In addition to the activities, trips and fun events like International Day, Oasis Day Camp also had caring counselors who took the time to learn all about my children.  They felt comfortable, safe and were eager to get up early each day to get to camp on time. I am happy that they were role models for my girls.

 

When our time at camp was coming to an end, the girls wanted to keep the fun going so I signed them up for the  Extension Week.  Each day, they went swimming and took a field trip to places such as Cranberry Lake, American Museum of Natural History and fishing in Central Park. As an educator, I know how important it is to expose your child to many different types of experiences and Oasis did just that.

So, Oasis Day Camp gets a two thumbs up in our book.  Although we attended the Dobbs Ferry location, there are many Oasis sites in the Tri-State area as well as Massachusettes.  Long Island, Central Park, Brooklyn, Queens and NJ are some of the locations that you can choose.

Oasis is all about the children and I cannot wait to send my children back for the 2013 Camp Season!

Visit the Oasis website for more information.

 

I received a discounted pricing for the two weeks that my girls attended camp.  All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

    Sounds like a great camp setting. I wish the camp I went to as a kid offered swimming lessons. Instead they just did a skills test to see if you could go out to the deeper area of the lake or not…. but didn’t do anything to help people build up their skills.

    When I was growing up, my day camp did not have swimming onsite, and we had to ride in a van, to the local pool. I love how your daughter is all smiles, and looks like she is having a blast! Thank you for sharing!

    How fun! I never went to day camp growing up (well, I went to theater camp, but that is different) so I didn’t realize they did all those activities. It looks like they did just as much as a sleep away camp. Your girls look like they are having a blast!

    I love all my memories of day camp when I was young. Sounds like your girls made some very happy memories of their own this summer! So neat that they incorporated all those field trips, too!

So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macy So happy to kick off the holiday season with @macys and Santa! Last night, we took the train into the city to preview #Macys #Santaland I have to say it was quite magical. Although my youngest was 12, Santa was able to connect to her and put us all in the holiday spirit. 

I believe. I believe….

My mom also came with us. We started talking and I think it was almost 40 years ago that she took us to visit Santa at Macys. I was so happy to visit Santa with her and my youngest for a three generation experience.

Don’t forget to check out the beautiful window displays as you enjoy all of #NYC during the holidays!

#ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but #ad Mental health isn’t talked about enough, but 1 in 5 adults suffer from mental illness and disorders today. 

Let’s reduce the stigma by opening up the conversation in the classroom and at home.
As a teacher and a mom of 3, I know how important it is to be there and be a good listener.

Conversations are super important. It’s never too early (or too late) to have these conversations with your students or your own children.

Operation Conversation is a check-in on kids’ mental health. When we start simple habits of conversations, we can learn about concerns or problems our students are dealing with, help them problem solve, and build their confidence for life’s difficult moments. 

Teachers can help to destigmatize mental health starting in their own classrooms by talking to their students about mental health using a free deck of conversation starter cards. Parents can also use these cards to support good conversations while at home. I know as a mom, I can use all the help I can get. 

#Giveaway Alert! 
I have 5 decks of Conversation Starter Decks of cards to give away to 5 lucky winners to help you get the conversation flowing! 

To enter:
1. Comment on this post as to why you would love the conversation starter deck of cards. 
 2. Follow @OnOurSleevesOfficial
3. Follow me @SavvyMomNY  I will pick the winners after 10pm on 11/22

Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest Took a little trip upstate 💚 Visiting my oldest and touring her sister on first college visit. Maybe it’s a sign that they should be together. Totally bittersweet and we went to visit Binghamton in October 2019 and only made it to two more before March 2020. I’m only thinking of bright skies ahead for the both of them filled with amazing memories and wonderful opportunities 💚

New York state has so many wonderful places to be New York state has so many wonderful places to be a part of . From the bright lights of NYC, to quiet places of respite in its parks and wooded areas. Time to walk, hike and reflect. Being active and busy is something that I hope my teens learn from and something we can do together to enjoy all the beauty and nature it has to offer while keeping NY tobacco free. Did you know that our oldest generation of smokers are now dying? After them, you have me and a very large group of people who do not smoke at all. So, who’s next? Instead of taking cigarettes off the shelves, the tobacco industry views today’s teens as tomorrow’s customers, using menthol-flavored products to attract and addict kids – and it’s working. More than half (54%) of youth who smoke (ages 12-17 years) use menthol cigarettes. making it easier for kids to start and harder for them to quit. Menthol is not JUST a flavor, it attracts and addicts kids As a teen mom, I am sharing this so we can all take action! Learn more about the impact of Big Tobacco’s manipulative tactics on our communities and how you can take action to help end this injustice. Let’s keep our kids enjoying the wonderful things our state has to offer. Link in bio #NotJustMenthol #TobaccoFreeNYS #ad @tobaccofreenys
