Summer Camps

DID YOU KNOW? It is District of Saanich Policy that children under 10 years of age must be signed in and out of daycamp programs by an authorized caregiver.

Saanich has everything you need to have the best summer yet...

Skills Development and Learning – with an Emphasis on Fun! Kids just want to have fun, and they should! They learn and grow through play. Creative arts, the challenge of games, sports and outdoor activities, opportunities for self-expression and exploration are vital to their development. The value of play to a child’s growth is the foundation of all our camp services. THE FIRST DAY

CHOICES

Locations – more than a dozen locations around Saanich Specialities - geared to your child’s interests and skills Ages – preschool, school age, preteen and youth programs Flexibility – full days or half days plus varied start and finish times (extended care starts as early as 7:30am and ends as late as at 5:00pm)

You may need to stay for a few extra minutes on the first day so our staff can ensure your child is signed in and we have all of the required information from you. Please feel free to stay until your child is comfortably settled and we have answered any questions you may have.

YOUR COMMUNITY – YOUR PROGRAMS

Saanich summer camps are your programs. We actively encourage your input and support. If you have questions about a camp, or information about how we can make sure your child’s stay at camp is successful, please call us. The programmer of the camp is happy to hear from you and help with any questions or concerns. We want your child to have an excellent camp experience.

LEADERSHIP & REPUTATION

Our summer camps are known for their excellent reputation, and our camp leaders are chosen for their experience, abilities and dedication. Our staff team is committed to ensuring a safe and fun day camp experience for your child.

AGES & GROUPS

Each camp has a specific age range for which the activities are appropriate. Registration of children outside the given age range of a camp may not be possible.

WHAT TO BRING

For full-day camps, your child needs to bring a knapsack packed with a healthy lunch and two snacks, water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, swimsuit, towel and a change of clothes. Use of vending machines is not permitted during camp hours. Depending on the camp, additional items may be required. You will receive information about this on the first day of camp. Please remember to label all your child’s belongings! Please leave electronic devices at home (iPods, gaming devices, etc.)

72 hours notice is required for a full refund. We understand that withdrawals will happen but we require the 72 hours notice to attempt to fill the spot. *See page 40 for complete refund policy details.

General Daycamps 5½-8yrs “Try a variety of activities”. Our famous Saanich General Camps include great weekly themes, out-trips, games, sports, crafts, swimming, indoor and outdoor activities and most importantly amazing, well trained and enthusiastic leaders. Join us for a week or a whole summer of fun, fun and more fun. Camps run all Summer long from 9:00am-4:00pm. Extended Camp available.

SAFE PLACES FOR KIDS

Your child’s safety is our priority! Children are fully supervised throughout the day and our facilities are checked daily for safety. Our leaders have current first aid, police information checks and have received training in child protection procedures, leadership, diversity and cultural awareness. Parents are required to complete and submit a participant information form for each child with emergency contact information and authorized pick-up information. It is the District of Saanich’s policy that children must be signedin and signed-out of daycamp programs by an authorized caregiver.

Weight Loss the Healthy Way If your goal is to reach a healthy body weight then adapt these gradual and small changes into your lifestyle to reach your weight management goals in a safe manner. Did you know that: • In order to lose one pound of body fat you need to expend 3500 calories. You can achieve this by various methods such as increasing your physical activity by 500 calories per day or decreasing your daily food intake by 500 calories per day. • One pound of fat = 3500 Calories • A realistic weight loss is about½ lb per week • Increase physical activity by 500 Calories per day X 7 days = 3500 Calories expenditure • Decrease your food intake by 500 Calories per day X 7 days = 3500 Calories reduction The other option would be the combination of the two: • Increase your daily physical activity by 250 Calories and reduce your daily Calorie intake from food and beverages by 250 Calories = total of 500 Calories expenditure and reduction. Examples of what you can do to burn: • 250 calories : brisk walk for 50 minutes • moderate effort on rowing machine for 50 minutes • fast pace on a stair climber for 35 minutes • 420 calories : circuit training class for 1 hour For more info see our Fitness Matters E- Newsletter Saanichrec/schedules/FitnessMatters
