In Pursuit of an Ideal Regard for the Individual Dedicated Staff Learning to Live Together History of Modin Our Founders The Experiment Continues Our Jewish Heritage Beauty of Maine A Deep Regard For the Individual How does a camp express its concern for the individual? By tailoring the program to meet the child's personal needs, not by conveniently forcing him or her into a rigid program schedule. At Modin, we encourage our campers to make choices, take risks and accept new challenges. Often it is wise to let children establish their strengths first in something they already know and feel comfortable doing. With guidance and nurturing, our children are then encouraged to try new things. As the child progresses and achieves, there is growth: mastering skills surpasses simple recreation. Every moment at Camp is a learning situation. We know that as children learn to swim, to climb, to perform, they also learn to persevere, to accept guidance, to make choices, and, in so doing, discover what makes them unique. This is the heart of individual growth.
