This room in mainly for the parents on children at the Institute but other parents on campus can use the room, said Aris. The room is called the Green House. The room currently has parenting magazines and brochures on different parenting topics. The camp has eight week sessions. The sessions are for five full day.
Parents can sign the children up for as many they want.
The camp includes swimming lessons, crafts and field trips. Some field trips are Toledo Zoo, Chelsea Jiffy Factory and Kid Kingdom, said Gold. The summer camp is staffed by teachers and EMU students as counselors. Most of the students are majoring in education, according to Gold. The Women's Center is trying to put together a single parent support group, said Heather MacAllister, Director of the Women's Center.
