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.

CHOICES

Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Programs June 29 to Sept 3 5½ to 11yrs *Children must be eligible to register for Grade 1.*

Mumbledore’s Missing Memories Mumbledore, resident wizard and historian of the Land of Phun, has lost his memory! Without the campers’ help, the secrets of the Land of Phun will be lost forever! Some of your phavourite characters are back for a journey through space, time and imagination to help Mumbledore regain his memories and ensure the Phun times are never phorgotten!

Once upon a time, there was a world without video games and movies. This was a time when adventures were lived and remembered. Through animation, thrilling games, hilarious songs and a little creativity we bring the summer to life for your children. Each week is a new chapter in our story that will navigate us to Mumbledore’s Missing Memories. Join us for one week or the whole summer in “the land of PhuN”! Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Programs are safe, well-supervised, high-quality and affordable daycamp programs delivered in a park setting with plenty of active, imaginative play. Staff is enthusiastic, has current first aid, criminal record checks and has received training in child protection procedures. This unique program receives additional funding to help keep fees low for parents. A little rain…No problem, we have indoor facilities available for poor weather.

Stay Hydrated! 7 Things You Should Know About Hydration Water comprises about 60 per cent of our body and is essential for the good function of internal organs and muscles. Water regulates our body temperature and is also important for healthy skin, hair and nails.

•

• • • • •

How much water is necessary daily is still debated. Many follow the “8 x 8 rule”, i.e. eight, 8-ounce glasses of liquid a day, but some research shows that an adequate daily water intake for men is approximately three litres (about 13 cups) and 2.2 litres (about nine cups) for women.1 Others believe that as long as you are healthy, drinking to your thirst is the best approach. How much you need probably depends of your weight, level of activity and environment (e.g. temperature). Do what works for you, as long as the water used daily by your body is replenished. Common signs of mild dehydration include thirst, sleepiness or tiredness, headache, fast heart rate, irritability, dizziness and dry and cool skin. Too much water in a too short period of time can cause hyponatremia (i.e. level of sodium in the blood is too low) and can have negative impact on your health. This is sometimes a problem in endurance sports. Make sure you drink water throughout the day. Approximately 80 per cent of the water taken in comes from water and beverages, and the rest comes from food (e.g. fruit and vegetables). Try to be mindful of what else can be found in your beverages (e.g. sugar or sodium). Hot or humid weather, altitude, exercises, illness, pregnancy and medications are factors that can lead to dehydration. When you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated! Make sure to plan ahead and, especially in the summer, carry a bottle of water with you.

Ideally you should exercise at an intensity that makes it somewhat difficult to talk to the person next to you. This prevents you from having to measure your pulse or use a heartrate monitor. If you can comfortably talk to the person next to you, you aren’t working hard enough to produce the benefits you need to lose weight. However, if you are breathing so heavily that you cannot carry on a conversation at all, you are exercising too hard and need to cut back a bit. Using this simple technique as a guide will ensure you’re constantly increasing your intensity as your fitness level increases.

FST is assisted stretching that is performed by a Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist. This technique uses modified proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Clients using the FST system isometrically contract their muscles with as little as five per cent and hold for three to four seconds. Fascial Stretch Therapy is based on original research, neuroscience and on emerging new discoveries in fascia. It is a unique, complete and complementary system focusing on the fascia and joint capsule as the key elements in achieving optimal flexibility, strength, performance and pain relief. COMMONWEALTH PLACE Rachel Houle Call 250-475-7630 to book.

In addition to aerobic activity, older adults can benefit from muscle-strengthening activities. Stronger muscles help reduce the risk of falling and improve the ability to perform the routine tasks of daily life.
