It's 10:00 AM. One kid's crying over a melted popsicle, another is shouting about the remote, and you're already wondering if it's too soon for a second coffee. Sound familiar?In this episode, Dr. Becky dives into the chaotic, sticky, emotionally charged season that is summer parenting—and why it often feels so much harder than we imagined. We unpack the myth of the “magical summer,” the invisible jobs no one trained you for (Camp Director, Sibling Referee, Snack Machine, anyone?), and why you're not doing it wrong… you're just doing a lot.You'll learn practical shifts—like how to anchor instead of fix, how to respond to snack-time meltdowns with steadiness, and why “I'm bored” isn't a crisis but a chance to build resilience. Plus: why it's okay to not create magic, and how presence beats perfection every time.You're not failing summer. You're just parenting in it. And you deserve support that feels good inside.Get the Good Inside App by Dr. Becky: https://bit.ly/4fSxbzkFollow Dr. Becky on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbeckyatgoodinsideSign up for our weekly email, Good Insider: https://www.goodinside.com/newsletterFor a full transcript of the episode, go to goodinside.com/podcast.As parents, the mental load is real—to-do lists, doctor's appointments, sports practices, work events, birthday parties… Should I keep going?

The Hands-on-House in Lancaster offers a world of imagination and exploration for children of all ages. This year is the 25th anniversary. The mission of the museum is to learn through play according to Megan Stoltzfus, Lead Educator and Camp Director at the museum. “All of our exhibits are hands on. We have classes and with our classes, all of its hands on education. And we also have a special educational room called the Play Lab, where we have lots of hands-on activities, play based and some sensory things as well, “said Stolzfus. For children, play based education is extremely important for children as they learn through discovering things for themselves. The museum also offers STEM courses for children to help them succeed in the future. “The best way to develop skills is through that hands on that play based learning play, because learning is also important, because it helps kids to basically pretend to be what they're going to be as adults as well. So, it gives them a really good preparation for their future ahead, “said Stolzfus. There are many exhibits that offer educational opportunities. A fan favorite at the museum is the heating and HVAC exhibit. Patti Van Brederode, Art and Museum Director, the construction site exhibit is also popular among the visitors. “It has to do with how air flows and the kids get to put in these giant tubes that we have on the wall with an H back system in them. They can put there clear these tubes and they can put colorful handkerchiefs in there and see which way they go. And they can change the direction and flow of the air and change the way the handkerchiefs fly around. And that is, I think, one of the most fun things, “said Brederode. Patti also teaches art classes at the museum. “So, my kiddos come in, I teach one week is one lesson, so and I teach on Tuesdays and Wednesdays twice each day and I get to do the fun stuff with kids. We get to make a mess, and their caregivers don't have to worry about cleaning it up too much. We only tidy in class and so I'm there for both the kids and the caregiver so the caregivers get a minute to relax and play with their kiddos that they bring along. We do things that you wouldn't necessarily do at home, but I also send and give information so that each family can also expand upon that play at home because, you know, play is actually children's work. And so we what I get to do is I get to show kids what they are capable of, “said Brederode.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're new, and it's hard out there and it's like, how do I retain? I would say conduct an experience audit, see what the experience is like. Ultimately retaining is recruiting because students are looking for people in places that give them confidence and clarity about their experience and trajectory. The experience that you're offering can give them more confidence and clarity. If you can retain, you'll find it much, much easier to recruit. -Special Guest: Donnie Keele, Media and Learning Lead at UltracampYour Hosts:Beth Allison, Camp Consultant - Go Camp ProGabrielle Raill, Camp Director - Camp Ouareau-Thanks to our sponsors…UltraCampImagine camp registration software that actually gives you MORE time for what you love - CAMP!

Dr. Matt Davis welcomes Jon Bladine, Director of Longview Camp in Arcade, New York, as his guest on this episode of On Mission. Jon discusses how the Lord guided him to camp ministry, the skills that have been beneficial, and those he had to acquire, as well as the challenge of revitalizing a struggling ministry. Out of college, Jon had plans to be a missionary pilot; his journey may resonate with those who have undergone training for a specific purpose only to be guided in a different direction by God. Dr. Davis and Jon swap memories of Northland in Dunbar, WI, where Jon grew up, and of various camp ministries Jon has been a part of. You will be encouraged by Jon's passion and testimony of God's hand in their lives through the camp ministry, and admonished to never second guess what God has done in a place where little fruit is visible. Ministry's value is eternal because it is about people.

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis discusses how we can discern God's will, direction, or calling for our life.Many people today ask: “What should I look for in a spouse? What career field should I pursue? Should I go into ministry or business?” At times, believers may be paralyzed by the abundance of opportunities before them and in turn, never end up making a decision at all. In this episode, Jonny articulates that when we are already walking in holiness, God's Spirit primarily directs us through our desires, our gifting, the input of others in our life, and even the needs we see around us.The Lord is our Shepherd, He doesn't lead us down paths of obscurity, He leads us in such a way that we can honor Him, be used by Him, and enjoy the life He has given to us under the sun.To pre-order Jonny's forthcoming book entitled, “Consider the Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace In The Character of God” visit https://amzn.to/3zU9XJOJonny Ardavanis is the Lead Pastor at Stonebridge Bible Church in Franklin, TN and the President of Dial In Ministries.
