SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Types of camps in Alberta DAY CAMPS Day camps operate for periods of one to eight weeks, providing opportunities for children to enjoy a camping experience during the day while sleeping at home. This type of camp may be viewed as an introductory stage to camping at a high comfort level.
RESIDENTIAL CAMPS Residential Camps operate for periods of one to eight weeks, offering many different landscapes and experiences. The activities offered, the style of accommodations, and the camp’s philosophy vary with each camp.
RELIGIOUSLY AFFILIATED CAMPS These camps operate programs as an extension of their community work. In some cases, religious studies form a portion of the program, while in other cases it may simply represent the source of staff commitment and the philosophy of the programs.
AGENCY SPONSORED CAMPS A wide variety of social service and public-
ly funded organizations maintain a camping program as an extension of the service they offer the community.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPS While most camps can accommodate certain special needs, parents of campers with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional needs are advised to investigate those camps which are designated to serve those particular needs.
MUNICIPALITY CAMPS Many municipalities operate a camping program within their recreational program. Typically, these programs are of a day camp nature on sites in the community.
PRIVATE CAMPS The term ‘private’ refers to the ownership of the camp rather than the clientele. The philosophy, staffing, program decisions, and the site development are often closely associated with the owner/operator’s leadership style. - courtesy of the Alberta Camping Association

Psalm 8:3-5 Staff work with the year-round CSB ministries program providing a natural “follow-up” program for the boys. We choose activities that boys like, methods of training that boys respond to, and leaders who can become friends and role models. Camp is also a lot of fun! Our activities are outdoor oriented: shooting, hiking, white water rafting, and many others. We ensure activities are “age appropriate.” Facilities: max 50 campers; 6 cabins; Washhouse with showers and toilets; Kitchen and dining area with qualified cooks who provide great food. For GIRLS contact Alberta Camp Cherith, who use CAMP TEEPEE POLE, providing similar activities.
Our mission is to model a Christian lifestyle in an outdoor setting within a community that promotes outreach, spiritual awareness, personal growth and harmonious living. Children experience friends, fun and a little bit of faith in a safe and caring environment. We offer a blend of traditional camp – swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, campfires and vespers. We also offer NEW programs – orienteering, geo-caching, rockets and overnight camps. Our staff are dedicated and caring. They are thoroughly screened before hiring. They then take part in mandatory training that includes First Aid, CPR and leading small groups. Financial assistance is available through Early Bird Registration and Camperships.

Cochrane, Alberta • Ph: (403) 637-2199 • Website: www.batesbarj.com Nestled in a secluded valley in the foothills of the Rockies, Bates Bar J Ranch is found at the fork of the Little Red Deer River and the Grease Creek, about 64km northwest of Calgary. Jack and Barbara Bates founded Bates Bar J Ranch and children’s camp in 1962. Randy and Kathy Bates and children, Russell and Kristina, now run the ranch. Boys and girls participate in real ranch life featuring horseback riding and care of horses. It is not unusual to see Paints and Quarter horses grazing in the pastures and on the hills. Other activities include hikes, games, survival skills, crafts, dances, campfires and swimming. A full time cook and kitchen staff serves tasty, homestyle meals. Counsellor staff ratio is approximately 1 to 5 campers. Our aims are to promote appreciation of the outdoors, wildlife, animals in general and develop new skills and friendships while having fun.

Goldeye Centre near Nordegg, AB • Ph: (780) 991-4620 • Website: www.acca.coop Summer camp is a time for making new friends and is the place where youth discover their hidden talents. Those who have attended the ACCA Co-operative Youth Leadership Program, (now going into their 53rd year) will tell you that it was one of their most memorable and life-changing experiences. Held at Goldeye Centre near Nordegg, the serene foothills location provides a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains. We aim to develop leadership skills and selfconfidence in youth so they can return to their communities and get involved. Every summer, youth learn how to work in committees, elect their own government and learn how to set up and run a co-operative business. They also develop communication and public speaking skills and expand their knowledge of the agriculture industry and the benefits of membership in co-operatives.

For someone who has never been to Bar Harbour Camp, it is tough to explain why we find it so amazing. At camp you get a chance to laugh, grow and find independence. You can find adventure in a plant-strewn path or a giraffe-shaped tree and at the end of the day, you sit around a campfire with woodsy scents all around to sing and reflect with those friends you connected with all day. Our camp isn’t just about the amazing food or the activities; it’s about the experience and the memories that sustain you from September until next June, when the magic repeats. “Friendships developed will last a lifetime.”

Gearing up for summer camp fun in 2012 BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Summer time offers youngsters a host of fun-filled days packed with recreation, and making the season all the more complete is time spent at summer camp. No matter what kids are interested in, there is likely a local camp that would suit them perfectly. Central Alberta includes all kinds of summer camps, geared towards those with a passion for dance, a penchant for horseback riding or those who want to spend time learning about the Bible while still enjoying a host of recreational opportunities. There are also camps suited to those with a range of sporting sensibilities where swimming, canoeing, wall-climbing and the wonders of the outdoors are explored. Camps can be found in all kinds of attractive settings as well, from locations near Sylvan Lake to the foothills around Rocky Mountain
House and Nordegg. Choosing a camp may seem like an overwhelming venture considering the multitude of choices, but the Alberta Camping Association of Alberta (ACA) provides tools to narrow down the possibilities. For those who would prefer to go the day camp route, there are also plenty of choices. This type of camp may be viewed as an introductory stage to camping at a high comfort level. According to the ACA, there are several key steps to choosing a perfect camp for your child. Explore the information available through the Association’s web site. The not-for-profit organization formed in 1949 and is made up of nearly 200 members. Folks can read about the organization which “has made its mandate an assurance of quality to the public through its program of accreditation and guidelines for operations.” First off, take the time to read about what each camp has to of-

fer. The ACA offers a Camper’s Worksheet that is helpful in making sure both parent and child are satisfied with the camp selection as well. There is also an excellent tab on the web site called ‘find a camp’ which lists areas of interest ranging form baseball, biking and kayaking to cycling, sailing, backpacking and tennis. Those searching for the best camp can check off specific interests and the program finds camps that specialize in those areas. Once you’ve settled on a possible camp choice, it’s a good idea to contact camp offices to ask about session lengths, starting dates and what is included in the fee. Sample questions, according to the ACA, run the gamut from ‘what is your camp’s philosophy’ and ‘what is your ratio of campers to staff’ to ‘what are the ages of your counselors’ and ‘what percentage of campers return every year.’ The ACA recommends that counselors be a minimum age of

17. Parents may also wish to ask about training, rate of staff turnover, and the experience of senior staff. Another question might be ‘what provisions are made for campers with special needs?’ Also, another suggestion generally speaking is to chat with others who have previously attended the camp in question. According to the ACA, once you register with the camp of
your choice you should have regular contact from that point on, receiving “a warm welcome or confirmation package, including confirmation of dates, prices, equipment needed, cancellation policies, and other necessary camp information.” For more helpful tips about all things related to the summer camp experience, check out www. albertacamping.com. editor@reddeerexpress.com

Tips for selecting the right camp for your child BY ELAINE SHAY Commonly, almost all children in most parts of the world experience going to summer camps during their school break. There are lots of available options so selecting a summer camp could seem so tedious. Nevertheless, the ďŹ rst and most important thing to keep in mind and consider is the preference of your camper child. After all, he/she is the one who’s going to the camp so it is only logical that he/she would be the one to choose. However, before ďŹ nally deciding, the parents should give permission and a go signal if the child could go with the summer camp activity that he/she had chosen. Being the parents of the child selecting a summer camp, they should always bear in mind the security and safety of their child. It is important to know where the camp would be held, for how many days, and what the activities would
speciďŹ cally be. Also, always consider if the camp would ďŹ t your child’s personality and would not get him/her into trouble. If you are 100% approving of your child’s choice, then he/she is now ready to go! Now, what exactly are the available choices for your child? First of all, the academic camps are the ďŹ rst most accessible choice for your children especially if the school gives this as a requirement. Science camps are a fun thing to attend to because there are so many interesting experiments and things to learn. Technology and computer camps are the most popular choice among students. Next, if your child is selecting a summer camp based on his/her interests, it is essential to assess what kind of activity he/she would like to engage in to maximize his/ her time and effort. It is important that the child would learn new things and meet new people to hone their personalities. If your child is into music, there

are band camps which teach campers to play various instruments and to develop their singing talent. Furthermore, acting and dancing workshops are also popular among kids. The arts and crafts summer camp lessons are also one of the children’s favourites because here they are able to show their talents in drawing, painting, and making crafty things. They are also given the opportunity to improve on what they believe they are good at. On the other hand, if your child loves sports, a lot of camps offer lessons in different kinds of sports like football, basketball, swimming, and tennis, among others. Add to that, there are also adventure camps that the kids would surely enjoy as they would have fun doing activities that they love. It is like play time on over time, and at the same time, the children would learn something from their experience. - courtesy of ArticleCity.com

Coping with separation anxiety while your child is at camp By Elaine Shay During breaks, it is common for children and teenagers around the world to attend a summer camp to enrich their experience and knowledge in various fields. Depending on your child’s preference, he/she could choose from various activities to join. There are camps which are required as part of the school curriculum. Examples of these are academic camps focusing on advanced or remedial mathematics lessons or computer and technology camps. There are also camps which focus on music, teaching children to play various instruments and techniques in singing. Furthermore, to develop one’s personality, there are dance and acting camps that your kid could join. On the other hand, if your child is more inclined to sports, there are also lots of camps offering this summer program on different kinds of sports. Also, some camps teach children basic and advance martial arts.
Finally, there are special interest camps which basically are for children who would like to enjoy their school break and meet other kids. There are adventure camps wherein coordinators prepare for fun playful activities that the kids could enjoy. A summer camp could be a day camp wherein the child could go home after a spending a day of activities. Alternatively, there are lots of camps which require the kids to go overnight or stay for days away from home. Parents are not allowed to go with the children because this is the time to train them to be independent. However, parents could bring their children to the meeting place before departure and they could also fetch them upon arrival. In situations such as these, parents sometimes feel separation anxiety from their children, especially in the case when it is the first time that they would experience this. Because parents are very much used to their children being at home during the breaks
and on school days, they tend to become lonely as they don’t have their children to have fun with. However, parents must learn how to cope with their separation from the children as they should let their kids have some fun in summer camp. Here, we will enumerate for you the things that you could do to combat the separation anxiety that you feel while your child is in summer camp. Take a look and learn the ways you could do to pass time. • Enroll in a special interest class. While your kid is away learning something new during the break, you too could see this as an opportunity to also address your personal interests. You could try enrolling in cooking classes or yoga courses. Whatever your preference might be, there is an available adult summer class for you. • Go out with your other half. Who says only kids could have fun? While they are away, you could plan on an intimate beach trip or a short getaway for two.

Alternatively, if your spouse is not available, you could always ask your friends to go with you. • Learn a hobby. You could learn how to do cross-stitching, baking, photography or other things that interests you. This is the perfect time because your children won’t be around in a few days so nobody could disturb you. • Read on your piles of books and finish watching your tons of DVDs.

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
City camps offer variety BY MARK WEBER Red Deer Express Although heading a considerable distance away from home for summer camp may be perfectly suitable for many kids, other aren’t quite ready to take that step. That’s where the option of checking out day camps and other camp opportunities right here in Red Deer comes in. These types of camps offer plenty of fun and learning for kids with the comfort factor of knowing that home is nearby. After all, there are a number of things to keep in mind when figuring out if your child is okay with setting off for adventure away from home for a week of fun and new experiences. Are they comfortable in unfamiliar settings? When asked about their interest in leaving the City for summer camp, do they light up or shy away from the subject? Something else to consider is does your son or daughter make new friends easily? Do they have problems speaking up about concerns that may arise? If it turns out that some of these are significant issues, enjoying a camp experience near home may be the best option for
a slice of summer time fun. There is much to explore in Red Deer including a slate of day camps and other kidfocused adventures and activities through the City of Red Deer at the Collicutt Centre, the Kerry Wood Nature Centre, Fort Normandeau and Red Deer College. For one, Artstrek at Red Deer College is geared to youth with a love of theatre. The camps run from July 8-14 and July 15-21, and are designed for those ages 13 to 18. Campers explore all facets of the theatre world from acting and music to movement. For those with a love of music, there is ‘Adventures in Summer Music’ Aug. 13-17 and is aimed at those ages 10 to 15. Each day campers will enjoy full band rehearsals, sectional rehearsals, master classes, music options, presentations and supervised recreational activities. There is also MusiCamp Alberta which runs from July 22 to Aug. 11 and is for those ages 10 and up. For more information about camps and events in Red Deer, call continuing education at RDC at 403-356-4900, the Collicutt Centre at (403) 358-7529, or the Kerry Wood Nature Centre at 403-346-2010. editor@reddeerexpress.com

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Summer camps beneficial to both kids and parents BY FERIAN RIASE
fore sending your kid to a camp. Kids generally do not like to change their way of living and have problems adjusting to the new surroundings, particularly when they are required to stay away from home, even if it is for a very short duration. Though some kids take to the idea of staying away from home easily, but there are some for whom changing their routine might be problematic. In such a case, you should try to send your kid to a camp where some of his/her friends are also going. This will enable your kid to easily settle in the new surroundings, without feeling lost and alone. When picking a camp for your child, there are a few things to bear in mind. All camps must have specific rules regarding health. In the majority of the cases, camps have a doctor or some kind of nurse to act if something happens.
With the summer vacations approaching and the kids becoming restless, many parents start looking for ways to keep their kids busy. This is when a summer camp comes to their rescue. Summer camps allow children to indulge in fun activities like swimming, hiking, horse riding, sailing, etc., and therefore prove to be an ideal solution for such parents. Summer camps are beneficial for both the kids as well as the parents. On the one hand, kids have lots of fun while they learn how to make their own lunch, make their beds, sweep the floor and even do their own laundry. And, on the other hand, parents can relax at home, enjoy their free time and do things they generally cannot do because they do not have the time to do, such as, for example, reading a book, watch a movie, take a nap or even visit a friend. Nowadays, camps focus on a particular area such as language, art, football or science. Language programs are becoming increasingly popular because, apart from having fun, kids can learn a new language and enjoy a beautiful landscape at the same time. You should consider a few important things be-
Of course, if your kid suffers from some disease or illness and requires a special type of medicine, you must let the camp’s main staff know of it on the very first day. Make sure that the camp has specialized personnel with lifesaving techniques and CPR, just in case an accident takes place. Nevertheless, you do not have to worry. The majority of the camps are very safe. If you send your children to a summer camp, you will be sure that they are going to have a very good time, surrounded by many children of their age. It is a good opportunity for them to make new friends and learn to share with others. You will not regret sending your children to a summer camp, and you will want to send them again the next year because it is for sure they will ask to go to it again. -courtesy of ArticleCity.com

SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Keeping kids safe in the sun Throughout the summer there is nothing like getting to play outside in the warm weather. You have all day to play and have lots of adventures, with no school or responsibilities. But nothing can ruin your fun like getting a nasty sunburn. Here are some simple sun safety tips that will keep you having fun in the sun. Wear sunscreen - one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from the sun is to use sunscreen and know how to apply it correctly. You should remember to put on sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outside, it is better if you put it on 30 minutes before going outside. Remember to put sunscreen on any area that is exposed to the sun, especially hands, ears, neck, feet, nose, shoulders and lips. You also need to remember to reapply sunscreen at least every two hours. You should also reapply sunscreen every time after your have been swimming or get sweaty. Waterproof sunscreen is a better choice if you will be around the water, and always use sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
Cover up -- another simple way to protect your skin from the sun is to cover up. Hats and UV protected sunglasses are important to protect your face and eyes from sun damage. Also wearing protective clothing, including clothing with UV protection will also help prevent sun damage. Limit time outside during peak sun hours -- it is also fairly simple to plan not to spend too much time outside during the sunniest hours of the day. The sun is most powerful from around 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During these times it is a good idea to have other fun activities arranged, so you can be sure to get out of the sun for a while and protect yourself from sun damage. Be careful near water and sand -- when you are playing at the beach in the water and on the sand you should be extra careful about sun safety. Both water and sand reflect the sunlight, which can cause more sun damage. Be sure to cover up as much as possible and be careful to reapply your sunscreen often and after you have been in the water.
