SANTA BARBARA NEWS-PRESS • newspress.com Your guide to the best summer camps, classes and activities in Santa Barbara County 2 Summer Camp Guide Santa Barbara News-Press • April 14, 2013 2013 SUMMER CAMP GUIDE Frrom the Editor i the air and that can only mean one coming! While it is a great time to be a kid — ahhhh, to be a kid again — it can be challenging for parents to keep their kids occupied during the summer months. Have no fear, our annual Summer Camp Guide is here! Filled with activities, classes and camps, this guide has something for every interest and skill level. In fact, when putting together this section, I am always amazed by the vast selection of camps kids have these days. Listen to me, I'm starting to sound old. All kidding aside, this is a fun section to work on and it gives me joy knowing that summer camp memories are on the horizon. Parents, grandparents and guardians, we hope this guide makes your life a little easier, so all you have to remember to do this summer is protect your kiddos from the sun (read Sunscreen Demystified on page 21). It is my understanding that camps fill up fast, so don't delay, sign your kids up today! Have a happy and healthy summer!

Longer days and no school mean more hours in the sun for kids and adults alike. It's crucial to protect your skin while you enjoy summer fun. We've all heard the importance of lathering up with sunscreen, but probably skipped out a few times or may not have fully understood when to apply and what SPF to buy. Here is a quick guide to protecting yourself and your loved ones by being sun smart this summer! SP What? SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and represents the sunscreen's ability to block harmful rays. Normally the SPF ranges from 2-50, but newer sunscreens claim up to 100 SPF An SPF of 15 would mean that you could stay in the sun 15 times longer and not burn, than you could if you were not wearing sunscreen. However, it is important to note that SPF protection does not proportionally increase with the SPF number. For example, an SPF of 2 absorbs 50% of ultraviolet radiation, while an SPF 15 absorbs 93% of radiation and an SPF of 34 absorbs 97% of radiation. Choosin9 Your Sunscreen Dermatologists recommend using at least an SPF of 15 year round. If you have fair skin or burn easily you should choose a sunscreen with a high SPF. Keep in mind sunscreens should be reapplied and be sure to follow the directions on the product for reapplication. Gel sunscreens generally sweat off the easiest and should be applied more frequently. To "cover" all your bases, be sure to choose a brand that has broad spectrum coverage. This means that they protect against both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. SPF coverage only refers to blocking UVB rays, there is currently no FDA-approved system to rate blockage of UVA rays. Sunscreen vs. Sunblock There are two major types of sunscreens: chemical and physical. Chemical sunscreen has ingredients that function as filters that lessen ultraviolet radia¬ tion penetration on your skin. Chemical sunscreens are usually colorless, although a thin layer can be viable on your skin. They can contain both UVA and UVB absorbers. Physical sunscreens, more commonly known as sunblocks, contain ingredients such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide that physi¬ cally block ultraviolet radiation. They protect against both UVA and UVB rays. The protection that sun¬ blocks give cannot be quantified in SPF although it is potentially high. Sunblocks are often recommend¬ ed for people with sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation. Waterproof vs. Water Resistant If you participate in outdoor physical or water activi¬ ties, you'll want to acquire a waterproof or water resistant sunscreen. A sunscreen is considered water resistant if it maintains its SPF 40 minutes after being exposed to water and waterproof if it maintains its SPF after 80 minutes. When should you apply Sunscreen? EVERYDAY. Doctors recommend applying sun¬ screen anytime you will be outside longer than 20 minutes. For most of us, that happens during routine activities everyday. Apply about 1 oz of sunscreen to your dry skin 30 minutes before go¬ ing outdoors. You're probably thinking, "Wait, it's cloudy, I don't need to put sunscreen on today." False! 80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays pass through clouds. Heading out for a day at Butterfly or Leadbetter? It's extra important to slather on that SPF when you are around sand—the suns reflective powers increase by 17% on sand. The same goes for snow, except they increase by 80%! Remember to reapply! If you are not getting wet, reapply sun¬ screen approximately every 2 hours. If swimming or sweating heavily, reapply after activity. Many camps are going green! It's becoming less and less popular for camps to use disposable water bottles for campers. Instead, many camps are encouraging campers to bring reusable water bottles.
