Interlochen National Music Camp
She was also the director of the CIT (Counselor-in-Training) program at the National Music Camp at Interlochen Center for the Arts for many years. Hartwig first came to Interlochen in 1944 at the request of director Joe Maddy to help set up the counselor training course. From 1944 to 1982, she trained more than 1,000 young men and women to "tend" to the elementary and junior high school boys and girls attending Interlochen. Hartwig noted of the counseling work: "It's demanding work, requires close attention, but it's fulfilling, adds to a person's lifetime sense of responsibility -- which sense is shown by their being in the course." She was also the co-author of the Camp Counselor Training Workbook, the Children ARE Human series, and Camping Leadership.

Famous quotes containing the words national, music and/or camp:
“Mr. Christian, it is about time for many people to begin to come to the White House to discuss different phases of the coal strike. When anybody comes, if his special problem concerns the state, refer him to the governor of Pennsylvania. If his problem has a national phase, refer him to the United States Coal Commission. In no event bring him to me.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Nearly all the bands are mustered out of service; ours therefore is a novelty. We marched a few miles yesterday on a road where troops have not before marched. It was funny to see the children. I saw our boys running after the music in many a group of clean, bright-looking, excited little fellows.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The triumphs of peace have been in some proximity to war. Whilst the hand was still familiar with the sword-hilt, whilst the habits of the camp were still visible in the port and complexion of the gentleman, his intellectual power culminated; the compression and tension of these stern conditions is a training for the finest and softest arts, and can rarely be compensated in tranquil times, except by some analogous vigor drawn from occupations as hardy as war.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
