Kids In Trouble An Adventure In Education Campbell Loughmiller 9781546577195 Books Reviews
I was one of those kids many, many years ago. Campbell Loughmiller was like a father to me and the other kids. We miss him so much and the world has lost a great man who asked for nothing. Read the book.
Campbell Loughmiller was the first man to use group work and wilderness camping as a therapeutic tool for troubled youth. He pioneered his way in most of what he did, and can put a good word on the how and why.
This is a very well-written book explaining concepts and ideas that stand today. The program he outlines is in use in many camps, and his ideas have been taken into schools and organizations throughout the nation.
For anyone interested in making a difference in young lives, and especially for those working with troubled youth.
Loughmiller saw education as part of group life rather than as a separate entity done at a set station at a set time in a walled room. He was incredulous that anyone might deem a sterile, enclosed room where a child was removed form all the world of experience, including having his lips sealed and having to virtually sit in a strait-jacket, as being a superior learning environment. In this work Loughmiller outlines how anything that can be taught in a classroom can be better taught in the experiential classroom of daily camp living. Follow-up research at camp showed that kids who came to camp, almost universally failing in school, after being at camp 1-3 years with no "formal schooling", returned to age-appropriate school placement levels and succeeded in school.
The book talks about how and why he came up with camp for emotionally disturbed boys with behavior problems. About what they do there to help the boys. Since I am trying to get my son into the camp, it helped me to know what to expect ect..The camp today is called, "Ohio Wilderness Camp for Boys" for ages up to 16. However, I was expecting a book that talked a little more on what I could do to work with him on some of the stuff at home before he goes. I miss understood what the book was about when I purchased. Was helpful to beable to read on what kind of things to be expecting once he arrives there.
