Nestor Aparicio  00:00

Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T, A, F, 1570 tassel Baltimore. We’re Baltimore positive. If you’re watching out on the webs, you know we’re here at Pizza John’s and I get all the East Side girls together for cats and for all sorts of love. This weekend, we’re doing candy cane cash giveaways. We have one more day left. We’re gonna be at Costas. Don’t meet me in Dundalk. Meet me at the new location. We’ll be at Timonium on Friday, up at the racetrack. We have a full dance card, lots of stories to be told. We don’t have a lot of repeat folks back on the program. But this girl’s been my friend since our childhood, and I’m gonna I’m gonna blow your mind with the story. By the way, Trish is here from Camp opportunity. I attended her fundraiser a couple months ago. We’ve been putting this together for a couple years and always having Trish on Trish Woodward from Camp opportunity. You go out of the website, find out what they do for kids, and it’s summertime and all that. How are you? It’s always good to see you. Oh, it’s good to see you. I get you on the microphone so I make sure I can hear you. There you go. All right, now, gotcha,

Trish Woodward  00:56

I’m doing great. I’m I’m doing very camp opportunities, doing great. We’re gearing up already for camp.

Nestor Aparicio  01:03

How many years now? Camp opportunity give me a little flyer over there. So this is just some motor types. Put the flyers away. Free. The cat people didn’t give me the flower till they left. So camp

Trish Woodward  01:12

opportunity isn’t our flyer for volunteers. You mean to read it? Sure you can read some

Nestor Aparicio  01:16

of it. Camp opportunity is an overnight summer camp in Harford County, Maryland, for children ages eight to 11 who have experienced abuse or neglect, we hope to break the cycle of abuse by teaching our campers resilience, self, love and essential life skills. Camp opportunities a place where children can connect with nature to heal, grow and create brighter futures. And we can’t do it without the community of volunteers, and that’s what we’re about today. The camps are in July. These are obviously really special kids who need some love. Neat. And this is I hit you every single year, but what? What was the genesis of this? How did this start? Because I always think people say to me, here’s your store board, and we’re positive. Well, I like sports, and I got a radio, and it turned into this and a couple Super Bowl week. It never starts the way you think it’s gonna start. And then even when you start it, you’re like, No, no, it wasn’t that idea was the idea was the person I met before, the person that gave me the guy. Okay, then you, you. How long has camp opportunity been doing this?

Trish Woodward  02:16

Camp has been around since 1985 Wow. It started out of a church in Dundalk, and they their community of parishioners had a consultant come in and do a study to see what was needed in the community. And the consultant went out and came back with three different ideas of what the church could put together for the community, and one of them was a camp for children who have experienced abuse or neglect ages eight to 11, and so that’s where it was born, in Dundalk. They created this church program every summer. We operated our camp program at Camp poshawa Up until about three years ago, and I was hired, I’m coming up on my three year anniversary, and all with the idea of expanding the program beyond one week. Because up until a few years ago, we were only doing one week of camp. I see two weeks here, so we have two weeks now, and we’re actually we’ve we’ve able to partner with Empower for life, who I believe you have coming in, I do. And so we don’t have the funds right now to expand beyond two weeks of camp. So we but we have this campground. We have our license with the Maryland, with Maryland Department of Health, and we have all the the resources, the nurses, the software, all that. So we partner with Empower for life, and said, Hey, if you can pay for it, we can have you come to camp. And, you know, we’ll, we’ll do all the things, you know, mutual camp, yeah. So, yeah, so, so technically we have three weeks of camp, but our program operates two weeks every summer, and so, yeah, so we’re just trying to grow. I’m trying to expand. I’m applying to all the grants. This is Grant season right now.

8

Nestor Aparicio  03:52

What does that mean? Apply for grants. Oh, gosh, there’s so many work that goes into every one of these charities, organizations, let alone, you know, funding and tax this, and paperwork that, and accounting that, I mean, because it’s all got to be on the up and up. I mean, everybody I bring here, and sometimes that’s the hardest part of, well, I love the kids, and I like to work, and I like to get involved, but then there’s just sort of, like the back office, as we say, right? Yeah. And that’s the most important thing. It’s what keeps

Trish Woodward  04:21

it going. Yeah, I get that question. I get the question of, so it’s two weeks every summer, what do you do the rest of the year? Like, oh my goodness, let me tell you.

Nestor Aparicio  04:30

So in every week we get closer to July, and

Trish Woodward  04:32

8

I’m running out of time already. So yeah, no, the kids that are coming or no. So we have returning campers that come. So they stay with our program up to three or four years in a row, depending on their age and grade. And so we have, I believe I have to check with Corey, our camper care specialist, but I think we have about 30 returners coming, which means we have about 30 open spots. So we’re currently in the process of reaching out to social workers and any other child welfare advocate to. Look for new referrals to fill those spots. So that’s kind of where we are with that. And then with me, with grants. Grants are, you know, we don’t our campers. Don’t pay anything. We even pick them up. We provide anything they need. We give their caregivers a packing list. But we’re like, don’t buy anything. Just send them with children. They don’t have a lot. It’s the whole reason nine times out of 10 and nine times out of 10, yes. So, so these are underserved population. The families don’t have a lot of toothbrush, and they come without it sometimes. And so we provide everything. They don’t pay a thing. So fundraising is is really big for organizations like ours, and applying to grants. At grants is like completely, this is

Nestor Aparicio  05:38

not, there’s not an intellectual disability, and this is not necessarily special needs children. These are not children with disabilities in that way. These are children abuse, neglect, that maybe disabilities, mentally, physically, come from that. But you’re, you’re getting graduates here that are going on to, dare I say, normal lives, or hopefully, hopefully,

Trish Woodward  06:02

okay, yeah, hopefully, you know, they’ll take with them that toolbox that we’ve we’ve created and given to them once they leave our program. And so as far as kids with we do have, sometimes children that have developmental disabilities, and because, if you think about that population of kids, they’re easily, easy to abuse and neglect. So, you know, we had a candidate, yeah, yeah. I mean, we had a camper last year. You know, she’s definitely on the spectrum and and because we have that one to one camper to counselor ratio, we were able to give that camper everything they needed while they were with us. But camp, you know, when they come, basically all you need to get your child or child that you know into camp is to go to our website and fill out a referral form. And it’s a very short form.

Nestor Aparicio  06:51

Now, who do you want? Who do you, if somebody’s thinking about this is a child that, who do you want to apply? What works your heart in this thing?

8

Trish Woodward  07:00

All, all of them, anyone that has experienced abuse or neglect, we want them at camp. If they’re ages eight to 11, we want them at camp. And they’re going to come, they are going to do all the fun things you do at summer camp, and they’re going to their lives are going to be changed for good.

Nestor Aparicio  07:14

Well, I can tell Trish Woodward’s here. She’s been my friend for a long time. Camp opportunity happens in July, root in the community. You can learn more at Camp opportunity.org, Dundalk, based, just like the two of us, yes, now we’re from the same you are from Eastwood. You’re not from Colgate. Is that correct?

Trish Woodward  07:31

Right? I grew up in Eastwood, but I went to Colgate. Okay? I knew you

Nestor Aparicio  07:35

8

from Colgate. We were the same play together in 1980

Trish Woodward  07:40

you remember this so much better two or three years

Nestor Aparicio  07:43

two or three, say, three. I was two or three, yeah, so we were in Oliver together, and you know what’s crazy is I referenced the Artful Dodger this morning. Did you see this? Oh, I got to show you this, because it’s crazy. And I in so I was the Artful Dodger in Oliver in 1982 all of the videos of me singing, consider yourself and I do anything are up. You and I are featured together in all of these videos. You were in the cast. You spun the little umbrellas, yes, because we were all supposed to be poor on the streets of London, and I did a very poor London accent as a 13 year old. And I got, I got to find this, because this is the picture that AI made for me. And all the AI pictures are going around. So this is the picture that it made of me. And I said, it looks a little Artful Dodger, doesn’t he looks a little like he’s gonna pick your pocket, doesn’t he? I mean, is that really look like me? Maybe. So anyway, I said it looks a little too Artful Dodger and troublemaker for me. And as it turns out, you thought I was a troubled I was like a big kid who was a troublemaker. You were but you were fun. Well, I mean, I sang on key for the most part. So I’m gonna break your heart here now and for everybody out there listening, and I’m gonna try to find this correspondence, because I’m not really on Instagram much at all, like, almost ever, like, as a human checking mail. I don’t really know how to check the mail, but I just checked it all right. Wow. This fella hit me a little while. I gotta respond. So who was our music director at who played the piano at Oliver? Do you remember Mr.

Trish Woodward  09:29

Henson? Mr. Henson, yes, he also didn’t he go to hollabird? No, that was Mr. Statum. Mr. Statum, so I remember Mr. Henson.

8

Nestor Aparicio  09:38

So Mr. Statum, I’ve had on the show often. Mr. Stadium came over to Costas. Did the show. He did this. Mr. Stadium is wonderful and alive and beautiful, and hung out with us. Did the show. He’s done the show many times. Mr. Stadium is now 86 I believe, I think on St Patrick’s Day or Valentine’s Day, His birthday is coming up, and he did a Christmas event down in Edge mirror. I went that night, came into the show. So whenever I’m with him, I start, start thinking about singing and being in My Fair Lady and being in the fantastics and high school things I did. But my first ever show I was ever in was Oliver with you. I had no idea what I was doing. The assistant principal, Jack Delaney, saw me, said, You’re my dodger. You’re gonna be my dodger. And it’s literally what he did with me, right? He grabbed me. I was there to visit Miss Howe in second grade. I wasn’t even a student. I was in high school, and I came back to visit my elementary school teacher, whom I loved, and he just grabbed me. Said, You got to be my I said, I don’t. Can you sing? Sing something? He’s like, you’re my Dodger, and I guess he thought I looked like a pickpocket, you know. So that’s how I got cast, you know? I mean, I

Trish Woodward  10:49

didn’t know that story. You never shared that with me. I thought you knew him before lick.

Nestor Aparicio  10:55

I was just in the school visiting my English to my second grade reading teacher, whom I just thought of as a mother, literally. And I got caught, and then I got cast. So I wound up getting cast now. Mr. Hinson was a beautiful African American man with a very kind I can hear His voice.

Trish Woodward  11:14

8

I was in his class when John Lennon was killed.

Nestor Aparicio  11:17

Okay, yeah. 1980 Yeah. Well, he in 1976 7770, I’m really gonna tell this story, because I don’t think I’ve told it. We had recorders, remember the little flutes, right? We had xylophones. But Mr. Henson had us sing some real I wish I would have worn my I wore my Bee Gees belt. I would have worn my village people belt. We actually sang YMCA macho man. And there was a song we learned before it became a huge hit, which was the greatest love of all we learned. The 70s male version, not the Whitney Houston, right? 80s version. We sang those songs you have a wicked memory little children in 1976 let the children’s left her remind us, right? Yeah. So Mr. Henson was brutally murdered, yeah, in

Trish Woodward  12:08

84 Yeah. I You’re it’s all coming back to me.

Nestor Aparicio  12:10

Yeah. So Mr. Henson was murdered, and I attended his funeral at a black church in the city on the east side of the city. I was 15 years old, and I think about him, and I think that they ever catch the person that killed him, right? Because he was, he was murdered in his apartment in downtown Baltimore in 1984 I Googled it. So this is where it gets weird for you and me. I saw Statum, and he’s always killing me, right? We’re always at each other, right? So Statum, and I brought up Mr. Henson. He said, I remember him, and I remember he had a tragedy, and we talked about it, and I went looking sometime during Christmas because my wife was away, and it was the middle of night, and I Googled Mr. Henson’s name, and I Googled looking for his funeral. I Googled looking for things, and I found a listing on the third anniversary of his death in the Afro American newspaper that had everything about his life and all of his family members. And because his name was Lemuel, and some of the kids would sing to him, Oh, come. Oh, come, oh, Lemuel, right at Christmas time. You know, we would tease him a little bit. His name was Lemuel Henson, L, E, M, U, E, L. He’s a beautiful man. Been Gone 40 years, taught both of us played the piano. He’s in the video of us singing. He’s playing the piano. You go to YouTube and find it, put Colgate elementary Oliver in my name. It’ll pop right up and you can, you can laugh at me and his family, he had three brothers or sisters, and they all had unique names. One of the names was unique, and I Googled it, and I found his brother in Portland, Oregon, on Instagram, and we have been exchanging emails back and forth since Christmas. Damn. December 21 good. Did you know him? And I said he was my beloved elementary school teacher. You probably made his day. So I gotta, I gotta, I own back. I got an email. He wants to see the video.

And last year was the first year we actually provided swim lessons. You know, it’s a really big deal. Kim’s, when kids come to camp, you know, the and they don’t know how to swim, that that’s very intimidating when you’re looking at a big pool and or you can only stay in the shallow end.

Nestor Aparicio  18:11

And, you know, once you get a mouth full of water, you realize I’m in jeopardy. Yeah.

Trish Woodward  18:15

So, so, yeah, we did. We provided swim lessons. And I mean the joy on these kids faces when they go from the band that’s orange, that means they can only stay in the shallow end, to the purple, which means they can go on the deep end like everybody’s cheering, everybody’s clapping. It’s a big deal. You know, when they pass that swim test, you have to do the swim test.

Nestor Aparicio  18:37

Oh, child welfare has always been at the heart of everything I do. It really, it really is, was your vocation? I got my degree in education. I didn’t work in education always. I worked in private equity, which don’t ask how that happened. It just kind of happened, kind of like you becoming the artful doctor, just in the right place at the right time kind of thing. So, but, you know, I always, I always did other things in the child welfare world and community and and I came back to it. I came back to it.
