Dave Muller Hopes to Have Positive Impact On Young Girls by Building SelfEsteem
By KIM KINTER
Specially Written for The Westfield Leader and The Times
WESTFIELD — Dave Muller is trying to make a difference in the life of preadolescent girls again this summer.
The family director of the Westfield Y is organizing two, oneweek overnight camps for girls in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades aimed at building their selfesteem. He organized the camp for the first time last year, but only six girls registered.
He said he was later told by parents that they had wanted to register their daughters, but found out too late about the camp and had already made other summer plans.
Undiscouraged and determined to make it work, Mr. Muller is trying again this year.
The camp, called Lilith named after a figure in Hebrew mythology who was said to be Adam’s first wife and who some deem as the first feminist will offer nearly a full week of self esteem building activities that Mr. Muller hopes will help young girls through the often tough middle school grades.
Mr. Muller first started thinking about the camp when he helped out several years ago in the afterschool program at the Y with a group of fourth grade girls. While working with them, he interceded a letter some of the participants had written about another girl. Mr. Muller described the correspondence as the “meanest letter you can imagine.”
From the experience Mr. Muller developed a voluntary “team building” program for the fourth grade girls in which they had to write something nice about other girls and also about themselves. He found that what they wrote nice about themselves was superficial, such as about nice hair and clothes.
It was later, while relating the Y experience at a Washington Rock Girl Scout meeting, the idea of an overnight camp that centered on building self esteem in young girls was born.
Originally, Mr. Muller was supported in his idea by a number of women including Jennifer Johnson, formerly with the Washington Rock Girl Scout Council, Jamie Farnam, a former aquatics director at the Westfield Y, and now at the Scotch Plains Y and Sue Goldberg, who just recently left the Westfield Y for a position with the Red Bank Y.
Although they are no longer able to help, Mr. Muller said that at least a half dozen other women have stepped forward and have promised to lend a hand during the summer.
He still is looking for female volunteers, however, to assist throughout the week and help on one or several days with specific activities.
The summer camp will be held at Fairview Lake Camp, a YMCA facil ity located near Newton in Sussex
County. A camp for fifth and sixth grade girls will be held Monday through Saturday, August 712, and a second camp for third and fourth grade girls will be held Monday through Friday, August 1418.
A maximum of 20 girls will be able to attend each camp.
Although all the details have not been worked out yet, Mr. Muller is estimating the cost of the camp will be “a little over $400.”
Registration for Lilith this year also will coincide with the signup for all of the Westfield Y camps on Saturday, March 11.
Last year, Mr. Muller pointed out, details about the camp were not worked out until after the Y camp registration and after signups for numerous other camps and many girls had already made plans.
He is planning many of the same activities that he had on tap for last summer.
For starters, for overall support for the campers, the girls’ parents or
followed through in everyday life. Although there will be regular camp activities such as water sports and arts and crafts and possibly one overnight away from the main camp, the participants mainly will concentrate on a number of activities aimed at building their selfesteem.
One area that Mr. Muller and the staff will concentrate on throughout the week on is making girls aware of how their culture determines how they view themselves. “Culture is mean to girls,” he said. The girls will view slides of magazines and other material and talk about how that affects how they view themselves.
Another area of concentration will be “changing what a hope chest means,” he said. Girls will be encouraged to write in journals and will be given a year’s subscriptions to two magazines New Moon and
Blue Jean, both of which are alternative publications to the mainstream beautybased magazines that many middle school girls start reading.
Spay Day Scheduled In Effort to Reduce Pet Overpopulation
WESTFIELD – The sixth anniversary of Spay Day USA, a national campaign to help reduce companion animal overpopulation, will take place on Tuesday, February 29, according to Lynn Castaldo of We Care Pet Care, a local pet sitting service based in Westfield.
Created by the Doris Day Animal Foundation (DDAF), the program has resulted in more than 350,000 animals having been altered since its inception in 1995.
Spay Day USA 2000 is being sponsored by Litter Maid and PETsMART Charities. Both organizations have furnished prizes for Spay Day USA’s “Every Spay/ Neuter Counts!” contest, designed to encourage participants to report their spay/ neuter numbers to DDAF.
For more information please call DDAF at (202) 5461761 or ddaf@ ddal. org, or We Care Pet Care at (908) 9281748 or WeCarePetCare@ aol. Com.
families will be asked to write a letter to their daughter at the beginning of the week addressing, among other things, why they’re glad their child is a girl and naming something that the families respect about the child.
The families also will be asked to attend a meeting at the end of the week to discuss what the girls have experienced and so there will be a followup and support after the camp concludes.
Adult female volunteers assigned to each of the girls who will have some contact with the participants during the week also will “track” the girls for one year, making sure that what they experienced at camp is
Girls during the week also will be asked to work on a service project.
At the camp, there are various bridges in various states of disrepair and the need for several to be constructed.
Mr. Muller said he and the staff will help the girls make a bridge. The bridge, he said, will be an important focus of the week and he hopes symbolic to the girls.
At the closing of the week and during a ceremony, the girls will be situated on one side of the bridge and, in a symbolic gesture, the girls will walk across the bridge to their parents waiting on the other side to signify how the girls are returning to them changed individuals.
