Camp-wide rules and expectations have been developed in order to foster a safe and positive camp environment. All campers, volunteers, and staff are to be courteous and respectful; use appropriate language at all times; support and appreciate each other; solve problems in a fair and honest manner; include others in activities; and play without bullying or teasing others. Parents/guardians are asked to review the following rules and guidelines with their camper(s):
traffic-cone Recognize the rules for all games and activities user-group Encourage others and show good sportsmanship hand-heart Stay hands-free face-relieved Participate and have a positive attitude recycle Ensure a safe and clean environment face-smile-hearts Care and be kind to one another repeat Take turns and play fair If a camper struggles with the rules, staff will have a one-on-one discussion to explain why the rules are in place. If the behaviour continues, the parent/guardian will be notified at sign-out and asked to review the rules with their camper at home. If the behaviour persists, a meeting with senior staff, the parent/ guardian, and the camper will be arranged to discuss how staff can best support the camper moving forward. If a camper becomes aggressive or physically violent, the Day Camp Supervisor will remove the camper from the program immediately. A parent/guardian or emergency contact will be called to pick-up the camper and a meeting will be arranged with senior staff to further discuss the situation/options. For more information regarding the Behaviour Management Procedure, please contact Emma at eclench@tiny.ca.
bus Special Activities and Day Trips Each week, we select trips and activities that combine adventure and fun with educational opportunities. When off-site, campers are provided with high-visibility pinnies to increase recognition. Our staff continue to conduct their regular headcounts to ensure that all campers are accounted for at all times. When on buses, they strategically space out to supervise and interact with all children, and continue programming on the bus with engaging activities, songs, and games. All About Camp • Page 15
backpack What to Bring to Camp strawberry Allergy-aware lunch and at least four snacks
battery-slash Campers must leave all electronic devices at home
Each camp day consists of a morning snack break, lunch, and an afternoon snack break. Peanuts, peanut butter, tree nuts and all food containing nut by-products are not permitted at camp. Families will be notified if any other food allergy is present at camp so that they can avoid sending their campers with that ingredient. Please consider the environment when packing camp lunches; reusable containers are preferred.
boot Outdoor footwear
droplet Re-fillable water bottle Many campers find themselves drinking more water at camp than they do at school. This is due to the increased amount of physical activity throughout the day.
message-check Family Communications On the Thursday before each week of camp, families will receive a Welcome to Camp email which will contain important program specific information, as well as the Camp Newsletter, which outlines the activities for the week. You are encouraged to review the schedule carefully in order to be aware of important reminders, theme days, and other special features.
Closed-toed outdoor footwear appropriate for the weather and activities must be worn (i.e. running shoes for regular use, outdoor boots for rainy weather). Sandals may be packed for use during water activities.
shirt Appropriate clothing Wear “play” clothes. A hat, sunscreen, and extra clothing (i.e. extra pair of socks) will be required for use throughout the day. Occasionally, campers will participate in water activities and should pack a bathing suit, towel, and sandals.
umbrella Rain gear In rain, appropriate outdoor gear will be required as camp programming continues outdoors.
Please ensure that we have the most up-to-date phone number and/or email address when registering so that we can reach you. During sign-out, Assistant Supervisors will share information with parents and/or guardians regarding their child’s camp experience, development, attitude, and overall participation in the day camp program.
strawberry Breakfast Program A good day starts with a healthy breakfast and we know how busy mornings can be. Cereal, yogurt, granola bars, and seasonal fruit is offered to campers until 8:45am each morning. We are able to offer this completely free to our campers through generous sponsorships.
Page 16 • All About Camp
book-sparkles Camp Philosophies Provide a safe, stimulating, child-centered summer camp experience by playing, laughing, and enjoying nature. We do this by: • conducting routine head-counts and ensuring age appropriate staff to camper ratios (Ages 4-5, 1:5; Ages 6-8, 1:8; Ages 9-11, 1:10; Mixed Ages, 1:10); • focusing on nature-based play and delivering all camps in municipally owned parks and green spaces; and • reducing travel and offering on-site programs that encourage healthy, active living.
Deliver a variety of recreational, social, and ‘green’ activities, ensuring there is something of interest for everyone. We do this by: • providing campers with elements of choice throughout the day;
Empower children and youth, and support their physical and mental health by providing them with opportunities to face challenges and be successful. We do this by: • planning activities which allow for scaffolding; where campers learn a skill or start a project their first day at camp and build upon that progress throughout the week; • encouraging peer-to-peer support and engagement, and allowing campers with special interests to take the lead in certain games and activities; and • asking that all electronic/hand-held devices be kept at home to ensure campers are engaged in activities and focused on having fun in the moment with peers and staff.
Encourage and nurture personal growth by showing recognition, acceptance, and kindness. We do this by:
• offering a variety of sport activities, group games, and free and nature-based play, and crafts;
• teaching our staff to motivate children and youth and encourage them to move beyond supervising to mentoring and coaching;
• integrating green initiatives in weekly projects and highlighting the importance of protecting our planet.
• implementing a Camper Recognition Program that focuses on both individual and group successes; and
Challenge staff in achieving the highest standard in positive, meaningful interactions with every single camper. We do this by:
• training all staff on inclusion-based approaches, focusing on how to create a supportive and inclusive environment.
• continuously reviewing, formally evaluating, and revising camp programming and structure throughout the summer. By utilizing appropriate assessment tools across various aspects of day camp operations, the township strives to consistently enhance the experience for campers, families and staff; and • providing staff with a minimum of five comprehensive training days, which include rehearsing emergency scenarios and protocols, leadership training, team building, and learning new songs and games.

trophy-star Camper Recognition At the start of each week, the camp group will come together during morning circle to develop a Camp Culture. Campers and staff will brainstorm different rules and expectations to achieve throughout the week, establishing the “culture” at camp for the week. The purpose of developing a Camp Culture is to help campers feel a sense of belonging and community while at camp. The group will collectively come up with rules, expectations and goals that surround five guiding principles: friendship, participation, environmentally friendly, creativity, and respect.
As campers successfully demonstrate Camp Culture throughout the week, the group will be awarded a corresponding puzzle piece. A special camp celebration will be held at the end of the camp week if the group earns all puzzle pieces. Page 18 • All About Camp
umbrella-beach Beach Days Beach days are the best, which is why each camp group will visit the beach once every week. This means campers will have their chance at enjoying the beauty of Tiny beaches every week they spend with us. Alongside regular programming, campers will have the opportunity for free-time in the water and on shore. Accompanied by our on-staff lifeguard, a designated section of the beach, marked with cones and buoys, ensures a dedicated and safe environment. In addition, all staff are briefed on waterfront best practices. On beach days, we encourage parents to send campers in their bathing suits. Personal flotation devices (PFDs) are welcomed and, if provided, must be worn during water activities.
people-pants Counselor in Training Volunteers The Counselor in Training (CIT) and Counselor in Training Plus (CIT Plus) programs run in conjunction with the Summer Day Camp program. They provide youth with opportunities to contribute to the community while developing leadership skills in a fun, safe and social environment.
CITs enhance the camp experience by being role models and friends to campers. They help shy campers break out of their shells, challenge active campers to master skills and talents and encourage everyone to develop meaningful friendships. They greet campers, run games, assist campers with their belongings, help facilitate friendships and much more! On the first week of the summer, CITs attend a training week with various professional development opportunities that provide them with the tools and knowledge needed to volunteer at Tiny’s Summer Day Camps.
hands-clapping HIGH FIVE Principles As a HIGH FIVE Registered Organization, the Township of Tiny is committed to ensuring every child and youth in its programs has a positive sport and recreation experience. The Township creates a culture of quality by training all staff in HIGH FIVE principles of healthy child development, which encourages a holistic approach to quality assurance by involving everyone in recreation. HIGH FIVE is Canada’s only comprehensive quality standard for children’s programs, offering a holistic approach to healthy child development based in years of research.
Youth in the standard Counselor in Training program learn the basics of camp and program planning, HIGH FIVE Principles, resume building, and employability. Youth in the graduated Counselor in Training Plus program receive their HIGH FIVE Principles of Healthy Child Development and Standard First-Aid CPR-C certification, which prepare youth with essential skills needed to join the Township of Tiny staff team.
Quality matters because research shows people are more likely to stay active for life if they have positive experiences in sport, recreation and physical activity as a child.

Safety & Security kit-medical Illness and Injuries
pills Medications
The safety and well-being of all campers, volunteers and staff are of utmost importance. Campers who are potentially infectious must stay home.
If a camper requires medication while at camp, a Medical Information Sheet must be completed at signin. Medications need to be provided in their original packaging.
All Township of Tiny Summer Day Camp staff are trained in Standard First Aid and CPR-C. Staff will treat minor injuries (i.e. bumps, bruises, scrapes) and complete a Participant Incident Report Form detailing the incident. The form will be presented for review, comment, and signature at sign-out. The Day Camp Assistant Supervisor will contact the parents/ guardians or emergency contact for any camper who becomes ill or seriously injured while at camp. Please ensure all contact information provided at registration is accurate and up-to-date. Parents/guardians are expected to be able to pick up their camper during the day in the event that illness, injury, or incidents occur.
clothes-hanger Lost and Found The Township is not responsible for lost, damaged or stolen personal items. Please ensure you label your camper’s belongings. Items left behind are stored at camp in a lost and found bin until the end of September. The lost and found bin will be on display at sign-in and sign-out each day.
sun Sun Safety Sunscreen should be applied to campers at home prior to arriving. It should be brought to camp and will be applied regularly. Families are encouraged to show their camper(s) how to properly apply sunscreen. Staff are SUN AWARE Safety Certified, and will remind campers throughout the day to reapply their own sunscreen. If indicated, staff may assist younger campers with sunscreen application. Between 11am and 4pm, the ultraviolet rays are the most intense. Heat stress occurs when a combination of hot, humid conditions and physical activity strains overcome the body’s natural cooling system. Heat stroke is a form of extreme heat stress that can cause serious symptoms and requires medical attention. During sunny and hot days, camps will avoid activities in the direct sun and increase water breaks.
wind-warning Inclement Weather In heavy rain, during thunderstorms, or in times of severe weather advisories, all programming will move to an indoor facility. Parents/guardians are invited to speak with the Day Camp Supervisor about creating a plan for early pick-up on stormy days should it be in the best interest of the camper/family. Page 20 • Safety and Security
Medications will be kept in a secure location by an Assistant Supervisor with the exception of epinephrine auto-injectors and puffers (which may be carried by campers with permission from parents/guardians). The Assistant Supervisor will administer medication as directed on the Medical Information Sheet, record their actions on a Medical Administration Log and present the form for review at sign-out. Any information shared regarding your camper’s medical condition(s) is/are confidential and communicated only to pertinent staff. If you wish to set up an appointment to speak with staff about your camper’s needs in more detail, please contact, Emma Clench, Community Recreation Coordinator, at 705-526-4204 or eclench@tiny.ca.
whistle Camp Staff The Township of Tiny Camp staff are post-secondary or senior high school students who share one thing in common: they are committed to providing each ‘Tiny’ camper with a positive and lasting camp experience. The Township of Tiny has high expectations of every staff member and those are reflected in the Township’s hiring policies. Potential staff members, including those previously employed at the Township of Tiny, submit an application each year to join the staff team. Applicants who have qualifications in a variety of program areas (i.e. sports, crafts, music, drama) are hired to ensure the week is filled with a variety of high quality programming. All staff members must also successfully complete a vulnerable sector police check. Staff receive extensive training prior to the start of camp and hold many industry standard certifications. All staff receive extensive day camp specific training, inclusion training, and are Standard First Aid and CPR-C certified. Each year, over 50% of staff members return to Tiny. This means that our staff are familiar with and support the Township’s camp philosophy, understand expectations, and are committed to providing the best experience for each ‘Tiny’ camper.
