Reviews

In Not Just Play, the authors draw our attention to the profound and important ways-from individual to macro systemic benefits-in which camps have benefited clients and their families and advanced professional understanding of the interplay between environment, mental, and physical well-being. * Darrell P. Wheeler, PHD, MPH, ACSW, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Iona College; Former President, National Association of Social Workers * Not Just Play covers an important subject at an important time. The survival of summer camps run by settlement houses and other nonprofit organizations is threatened as costs mount and affordability, particularly for low- and moderate-income families, becomes increasingly challenging. Readers will be impressed with the tremendous impact summer camps have had not only on children but also on the staff whose skills were developed there and whose devotion allowed children to flourish. * Nancy Wackstein, MSW, Director of Community Engagement and Partnerships, Graduate School of Social Service, Fordham University;Former Executive Director, United Neighborhood Houses of New York *
