Links to Articles and Videos of Interest

Every so often we scroll through Pemi’s Facebook page to gather in one place all the links to articles and videos that have been posted over the previous months to make for easy binge reading/watching. However you choose to approach the list of links—clicking and absorbing all in one sitting, parcelling them over a few days, or picking and choosing only those that speak to you—we hope you enjoy the content. The links seem to fall into categories…

Slightly ironic, given that you’re connected right now:

• What are the benefits of an unplugged community? – Camp Pemigewassett, 4-minute video
• Why Do Consumers Increasingly Want to Be Less Connected, Not More? – Adweek

Updates on Alumni in the news:

• Jon Bernthal: From Walking Dead to Plain Deadly – NY Times
• Beer is Back in Bridgeport – CT Post
• Pemi Alumni Magazine – News and Notes – Camp Pemigewassett

We all need a little help with parenting now and then:

• How to Help With Homework Without Hovering – PBS Parents
• Want to Keep Your New Middle-Schooler Out of Trouble? Then Let Them Take Risks – The Washington Post

On nature, the environment, and why going to summer camp makes, oh, so much sense:

• This Is Your Brain On Nature – National Geographic
• Identification of Animals and Plants is an Essential Skill Set – The Conversation
• Getting an Education in Saving the Planet at Summer Camp – (with a nod to Pemi at the end!) – Boston Globe
• Guest Voices: On Sending My Kid to Sleep-Away Camp for the First Time – Parenting The Core
• The Benefits of Overnight Camp – Boston Parents Paper

And we’ll end with one of the best feel-good videos ever:

• Who is the Pemi Kid? -Camp Pemigewassett, 4-minute video
