Green is in.

IndyCar Series uses an ethanol-gasoline mixture as an alternative fuel (a substance that produces less pollution), and early this year, NASCAR announced that their organization will also be making an effort to make their events more environment-friendly.

You can do your part, too. Up for a little DIY project? Here’s a fun one–make your own Earth-friendly Biodiesel using an (insert drum roll here) appleseed processor!

Biodiesel: finished product

Apparently, this kind of fuel substantially decreases your carbon footprints. It’s cheaper, too, so it’s definitely worth a try. View complete instructions here.

Props to the person who shared this information. Just make sure you’ve read all the safety precautions first before starting, fellas.

If you do decide to enroll your son or daughter in any of the camp’s programs, then he/she is surely in for a very enjoyable learning experience! Take a look at what’s in store for your kid:

DRIVING PERIODS
Every camper gets to enjoy quality time behind the wheel everyday! They can drive both the mini-cup cars and the rally off-road rally karts during the week. Daily driving times for each team are rotated. This ensures that everyone gets to experience driving at different times of the day, and that they can participate in other camp activities.

MOTORSPORT ACTIVITIES
There are other racing-related activities that your child can enjoy when he/she is not driving, like racing-technology-based environmental education, wind tunnel & aerodynamics, exploring careers in the racing industry, driver health & wellness driving racing simulator, and many more! So rest assured, every minute of your child in camp is well-spent, even when they aren’t on the track!

CAMP FUN!!
Campers also get to have some non-driving fun by participating in team-building activities. These activities include fishing, swimming, and earning team points for the much-coveted Motorsport Camp Cup. There are also plenty of evening driving activities to participate in!

No need to delay enrolling your child now that you know how much fun he would have while learning about driving and racing. But perhaps you’re a wee bit concerned about your kid’s safety. That’s what we’ll tackle in the next post–the cars that the campers use.

Maybe you’re not too keen on sending your kid to a place you haven’t seen first, or perhaps he/she isn’t ready to be away from home for a long time–or both. But chin up! You both can enroll in the camp’s adult/child Weekend Sampler program. This camp format is not too long that your kid would get homesick, but not too short that the visit is useless–definitely the perfect way to introduce an amateur racer’s love for driving to his child.

In this program you can get a taste of what life is like in camp–you can participate in driving and camp activities (driving lessons, swimming, fishing, etc.) There are highly enjoyable evening activities too, like scavenger hunts and a giant slick-track-slip-n-slide. And is a camp experience complete without the traditional campfire (with smores of, of course!)? Of course not! So it’s great that you will also get to experience that in a Weekend Sampler program.

Wondering what other activities are in store for your child in this super fun racing camp? That is what Zoomer Daily will discuss in the next post. Till then, start psyching up your child for a Motorsport Camp Weekend Sampler!

As soon as your kids are old enough to sit in and operate a vehicle alone, there’s a really cool summer camp you can send them to for a week or two: Camp Motorsport.

In this camp, they will be exposed to the world of competitive driving through several programs. There are several programs available for kids from 9-16 years old. Each program is formatted to cater to the kids’ varying abilities.

For example, The Short Track Try-It program is designed for first-time campers, and for kids (ages 8-11) who might not be ready to be away from home for a full week. Girls and boys enrolled in this program experience the same daily programs and driving activities, but shorter: just 3 (instead of 7) days. Groups are kept small to ensure lots of individualized attention for every kid, and to help younger kids adjust to being in a sleep-away camp.

Girls who feel self-conscious racing with other boys have the option for an all-girls program: Racing Girl Power. Girls from ages 9-16 attending one-week sessions can choose this option if they aren’t comfortable learning to drive with a lot of boys around. Daily recreational activities are still co-ed, but kids enrolled in this program are placed in girls-only teams for driving lessons and activities. However, girls can also register for the regular, co-ed programs if they wish.

For teen campers who are serious about racing can sign up for the Advanced Driver Development Program. Teens enrolled in this course will get leadership trainings, in-depth exploration of a possible motorsports career, and most importantly, advanced driving lessons. These lessons put a strong emphasis on defensive driving—something that is valuable for teens preparing to get their learner’s licenses.

Is there a more perfect way to start your kids’ love for driving than to let them experience the thrill of racing themselves? This camp is the perfect way to show your kids exactly why you are into cars so much.

Not sure about the programs and you want to see how the camp works for yourself? In tomorrow’s post, you can learn the details of the camp’s Adult/Child Sampler Weekends. Stay tuned!
