What every recreation leader should know.
The best camp songs, games, and fun activities for
kids.
I'm Rena Azevedo Dein and I've put
together my own ultimate collection of the
recreation basics. If I were stranded on a
deserted island (with 50 kids!) these are
the books and tapes I would want to have
with me. With just these few resources I
could build a recreation program that
would entertain, educate, and stimulate
for months on end. This is the best of the
best of everything I know about having fun
with children - camp songs, games, arts
& crafts, science & nature, and
just plain silly activities. And now I
offer them to you.
Don't worry, you don't have to know a
thing about working with a large group of
kids. I've developed recreation leadership
training videos that will show you
step-by-step how to teach that cool camp
song or lead an action-packed game. So
whether you're a recreation novice or
responsible for training others, you'll
find this site especially helpful. I
understand your training time and budgets
are limited. These tools will get you and
your staff up and running quickly.
There's nothing fancy about many of these
items. I've specifically created or
selected them for their rich content and
variety. Please remember, they're intended
as training aids for your staff, not
entertainment for your group. My goal is
to make you "The Star."
I've helped tens of thousands become
better leaders. Parks & Recreation
Departments, YMCA & YWCAs, Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Boys & Girls Clubs,
4-H/Cooperative Extension, Summer Camps,
Churches, Day Care Centers, Schools and
many other youth organizations and
individuals have made Camp Rena an
integral part of their staff training and
resources. Camp Rena products are carried
in such nationally distributed catalogs as
the American Camping Association, Redleaf
Press, and School Age Notes. However, many
items are found only in this collection or
are generally hard to find.
Be sure to visit my FREE
Tips For Leaders section for fun
activities, ideas for staff training,
icebreakers, and recreation for teens.
I hope these resources help bring more
joy, happiness, and success to you, your
staff, and the people you serve.
