Executive Director Lauren Brandt Schloss Featured in NY Family

This month, Usdan's Executive Director Lauren Brandt Schloss was featured in a NY Family article titled "Why Summer Camp is for All: Experts Share Their Camp Tips."

The article highlighted quotes from partner camps, including Usdan, responding to the question "Why send a child to summer camp?" Key takeaways across summer camp directors were that summer camp provides an opportunity to:

• be social
• be independent
• be creative
• try new things
• be outside

Lauren contributed that, “Summer offers children a chance to think outside the box. At camp, children get a chance to be part of a different world and a community of people that matter to them. At camp, children get to rebalance their relationships with others as well as with the natural world. At camp, children can imagine things to be different than the way they are now.”
