Sunrise Day Camp

You can help children with cancer have a terrific and memorable summer by donating to the 3rd Annual Innamorato Sunrise Day Camp Carnival. The event is May 22nd in Syosset NY.



Proceeds from the carnival will benefit Sunrise Day Camp, the only dedicated day camp in the nation for children with cancer and their siblings. Sunrise is a very special place where children can come free of charge, and enjoy a summer filled with fun, friendship and activities – things often denied them because of their medical condition.

Recognizing the extraordinary financial and emotional demands that a child’s chronic illness can have on a family, Sunrise Day Camp is offered free of charge, and is funded solely by the generosity of others. Sunrise Day Camp and all of its programs are designed to safely meet the children’s social, emotional and recreational needs, while allowing them to enjoy the comforts and security of their own home at night.

Toy Fair 2010 Recap

2009 was a tough year for the toy industry. The new CPSIA regulations, along with a soft economy made it hard for many toy & game manufacturers to stay in business, let alone create new innovative products. However the tone of this Year's American International Toy Fair in NYC was one of optimism and new beginnings.



This year at TF we were very honored to receive the 2009 Game of the Year from Fat Brain Toys. Every year they let the consumers vote on their favorite products. A big thanks to Fat Brain Toys and all of you who voted for us!




One of the coolest aspects of Toy Fair is all the solid relationships we have built over the years with fellow manufacturers, sales reps, and retailers. Our rep group for MI & OH Maggie & Me has been a champion for us since day 1. We've been so grateful to John & Debby for all their hard work, and taking a chance on us when we first started. This year John Boris is retiring after 40 years in the toy industry. We will miss you John!
Retailers Phil and Diane of The Toy House & Baby Too in Jackson, MI have been a huge support for us over the years. They not only share valuable retail wisdom, we also consider them very dear friends. It's always a pleasure to connect with them in NY.

Education Outdoors, Inc. releases new game for Toy Fair 2010 Snipe™ – An Indoor, Outdoor Hide & Seek Game

Snipe™ – An Indoor, Outdoor Hide & Seek Game
Eastport, MI February 2010: Tim Paczesny, founder of Education Outdoors, Inc. has created a new family game called Snipe™. Debuting at the New York International Toy Fair, the new, indoor/outdoor game is a perfect compliment to the popular CAMP™ brand. Paczesny’s passion for the great outdoors sparked his concept based on the beloved campfire legend known as the “Snipe Hunt”.
“I wanted to create a game that would challenge families to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors.” Says Paczseny, “ As a company it’s our obligation to encourage active play, the Snipe game does just that.”




In 2006 Education Outdoors, Inc. released it’s staple CAMP board game to specialty and outdoor retailers. The unique selling proposition of the game was the multi-level playability, where a whole family could play at the same time, (hence the name: “The Game that Grows with You”). The success of the game brought a full line of products, including a 2nd Edition CAMP booster pack, CAMP Activity book, and wooden Travel game.

The Snipe hunt game can be played with two people, two teams or special * single seeker play, and incorporates both indoor/outdoor activity and good old fashion fun. The object of Snipe is Be the first team/person to find the other team/persons snipe and return it to its nest.
After the players have hidden their snipe the other player will try to find it. After a period of time, if the Snipe shave not been discovered, they will chirp and then their eyes will light up.
Each game comes with two snipes, (named Biela and Smartin) and a Snipe nest. The packaging tells the story behind the legendary campfire animals. Keep your eyes peeled for more family oriented toys & games from Education Outdoors, Inc. Visit: www.EducationOutdoors.net for more info
