CONCORD, NH — For three children attending Camp Spaulding in Penacook this August, activities will include traditional camping activities as well as some not-so-traditional field trips. These children, all of whom have a father who is incarcerated in a New Hampshire State Prison, will spend ten hours over two days in prison with their dads. The camp, the first of its kind in New Hampshire and one of just a few nationwide, is an initiative of the Family Connections Center, a collaborative effort of the Department of Corrections, UNH family studies department and Child and Family Services. "The kids will be mixed in with other campers and will get a lot of your usual camp experiences, but they'll also do activities with their fathers," says Kerry Kazura, associate professor of family studies at UNH, who helped create the Family Connections Center and will be involved in the program at Camp Spaulding of Child and Family Services. Campers will visit their fathers at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men in Concord on August 21 and 23, 2012 for five hours each day. Kristina Toth, Program Manager of the Family Connections Center, says, "The Family Connections Center is excited about collaborating with Camp Spaulding to provide this unique, first of its kind, healthy interaction for incarcerated fathers and their children. The fathers involved are anxiously preparing for this time with their children by working on a skit to perform in front of their kids and taking an additional seminar on child development," Read More. |
