Sunshine Parenting show

Summary: <br> “Everything good in my life is because of camp.”<br><br> Daniella Garran<br> Daniella Garran calls herself a camp “cultist” because she loves camp that much. Daniella has been at <a href="https://www.capecodseacamps.com/" target="_blank">Cape Code Sea Camps</a> since 1984 as both a camper and a counselor, and she now serves as an assistant director. In her role at CCSC now, Daniella schedules over 400 campers and oversees the teen leadership program.<br> Daniella loves summer camp so much, she even wrote a book called <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hello-Mother-Father-Celebrating-Summer/dp/0764346458/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495665895&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=daniella+garran" target="_blank">Hello Mother, Hello Father: Celebrating Summer Camp</a>! The book is a beautiful, hard cover, coffee-table style book that covers the history of summer camps in the United States. For the book, she interviewed campers, staff, and alumni from many different American summer camps. I first connected with Daniella when she was writing the book, and she ended up interviewing alumni from my camp, who are quoted in the book.<br> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hello-Mother-Father-Celebrating-Summer/dp/0764346458/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495667145&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=hello+mother+hello+father+celebrating+summer+camp&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=sunshineparen-20&amp;linkId=e3bd1070f272b16784297e6aae43bef8" target="_blank"></a><br> In Episode 10, I interview Daniella about her experiences at camp, what she learned as a camp counselor, and how she is able to use those skills as a 7th grade teacher. We also talk about why she recommends camp counseling as a great summer job and what she wants to tell parents who think an internship is a better idea than being a camp counselor!<br> Related:<br><br> <a href="http://sunshine-parenting.com/2017/05/16/camp-counselor-best-summer-job/" target="_blank">Why Being a Camp Counselor is the Best Summer Job</a><br> <br> “Everything good in my life is because of camp.”<br><br> Daniella Garran<br> Daniella Garran calls herself a camp “cultist” because she loves camp that much.
