We intend to teach your child how to be confident in competition, how to learn from others, and how to be prepared for a show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We ask all parents and adults to be mindful of the youth in attendance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children in particular, can be easily distracted by parents, trying to coach their children over the rail, on the sidelines. When parents coach from the sidelines, their child is focused on them.  If a parent remarks, or reaches over the rail, it is a distraction for their child and all the other children in the arena.  Other parents will also have a reaction.  At the camps, we avoid this situation by asking parents to be otherwise occupied when the children are in the arena practicing, until the final showmanship.  We ask parents to not set in the bleachers or stand at the railing.  We do not deprive the parents from watching from afar.  This is an opportunity for your child to grow.  We hope all will respect what the intentions are of the camps, which is for your children to connect with the instructor and learn from them, with no distractions.  Our committees work hard to provide a wonderful and memorable experience for your children, creating a environment that is inviting and will give them lasting connections with their peers.  Opportunities for parents to work along side their children are during the hands on grooming\/fitting segment, and selection, where the parents learn about selection with the children.
