Summer Camps

Saanich Parks and Recreation Active Living Guide

Summer Camp Info

DID YOU KNOW? It is a 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 location 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)

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 camp experience for your child.

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, criminal record 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 under 10 years of age must be signed-in and signed-out of daycamp programs by an authorized caregiver.

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. Please leave electronic devices at home (iPods, Nintendo DS etc.). You will receive information about this on the first day of camp. Please remember to label all your child’s belongings!

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

REFUND POLICY

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.

All camps with insufficient registration will be cancelled and a full credit/refund will be issued. All refund requests for camps require 72 hours notice for full refund. Prorated credits and refunds, less program supply fees, will only be granted with the approval of a programmer, for cases of illness supported by a doctor's note, or for compassionate reasons.

SNPP Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Programs July 2nd – August 29th • 5½-11yrs

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 the Land bephore Time. Join us for one week or the whole summer in “the land of PhuN”!

*Children must be eligible to register for Grade 1 in September 2013.*

S.N.P.P. ADVENTURES 2013 BACK TO THE PHUTURE

Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Programs are safe, well supervised, high quality and affordable day camp programs delivered in a park setting with plenty of active, imaginative play. Staff are enthusiastic, have current first aid, criminal record checks and have 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.

Myrtle McTurtle loves to travel but she can’t get anywhere very fast. She teams up with Doc, a brilliant scientist who has invented seven magical travel portals that will take her through time and space to worlds she has never even imagined. Unfortunately, through a series of unfortunate events, Doc has gone missing and Myrtle doesn’t know where the portals are! SNPP Campers!

Myrtle McTurtle needs your help (and imagination) to find the portals to magical lands and legendary times.

WEEK 1 JULY 2-5: WELCOME BACK 2013

Welcome back to your favourite games and friends in the Land of PhuN. This week we will remember what we love best about SNPP: Outdoor adventures every day of the week!
