Assemblyman Tom Alfano toured the camp and met with counselors , children and parents and listened to how young people are learning to work in groups, lead discussions, participate in social situations and the proper way to eat and interact in gatherings and affairs.
Director of the Etiquette and Protocol Academy Cheryl Lee is the head teacher at the day sessions,which start at 8 a.m. and conclude at 3 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Valley Stream.
At the camp, young people learn how to eat at a formal dinning table, how to communicate with adults in different social settings. “When you enter the camp, you see immediately that the children are having fun and learning something that will help them be even better leaders and business people of tomorrow,” said Assemblyman Alfano. |

“Whether it’s knowing the proper fork to use or how to interact with people in a responsible way, these young people are learning and having a lot of fun at the same time.” During Alfano;s visit he learned how the counselors teach their campers the ins and outs of the program.“It’s clear that camp makes the learning process fun and the children get into the activities and are not only learning the points, but they’re given the chance to put it into action with activities that allow them to demonstrate what they’ve accomplished,” said Alfano. “The skills they learn are a gift that lasts a lifetime,” said Lee. I really want to see more children involved and participating. When children have been exposed to social settings and can be successful in navigating the do’s and don;ts, they build confidence and self-esteem. They can then look at their own personal goals and strive to achieve them successfully.” |

! "Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love -- now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~ Courses can be scheduled at your location and convenience (i.e., After school, weekends); Actual lunch tutorial in formal setting (optional).
