BACK TO THE WOODS

TOP 5 REASONS Why Kids LOVE Saanich Camps

Subsidies available. See page 4

1. 4 THE LEADERS ARE AWESOME

Saanich Summer Camp leaders are the cream of the crop… trained in child protection, safety and inclusion. Saanich leaders love to provide meaningful summer experiences for the children in their programs.

… and parks, and streams and fields and beaches!

2. 4 CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

With the increase in access to devices, video games and computers, children today are experiencing an alarming amount of sedentary indoor screen time. More than ever, children need to participate in active outdoor free play… and Saanich Parks and Recreation is here to help! Saanich is committed to providing high-quality programming that includes time for risk-taking, adventure-seeking and unstructured outdoor activities. This summer, you might find your child playing kick-thecan, everyone’s-it-tag or make-believe in a playground near their program. This is on purpose! We are actively seeking ways to ensure children get outside and get moving and here are just some of the benefits to O ! N ! your kids: Imagination and creativity 1 ! Problem-solving and social skills Physical activity and stamina Making healthy choices Playfulness

4. 4 BEST LOCATIONS EVER!

Our Parks and Recreation facilities are amazing. With more than a dozen locations to choose from, kids get to experience the best of Saanich in a park or recreation facility that is well-suited and wellequipped for the program.

5. 4 “I GET TO BE A KID”

Summer camp is a great place for kids to play the summer away. Whether they’re trekking through the forest, grinding a rail at the skate park or moulding clay between their fingers, kids have the chance to ‘just play’ at Saanich Summer Camps.

Youth Development Strategy: 2016-2020

Leadership

Challenge Yourself TEENS IN ACTION – LEVEL 1: LEAD TO PLAY 12-14yrs

In 2015 Saanich Parks and Recreation undertook an ambitious youth consultation which included 40+ focus groups in the community. Our goal was to re-engage young people, ages 11 to 18, and learn how we could better serve their needs.

Learn how to play and lead all theamazing games that your summer camp leaders knew, while having fun in the sun! We’ll balance this week with a dip in the pool, a round of disc golf, and a photo scavenger hunt at Beaver Lake! SAANICH COMMONWEALTH PLACE 758504 M-F Jul 4-8 10:00am-3:00pm 5/$125 758505 M-F Jul 25-29 10:00am-3:00pm 5/$125

The result was our recently adopted Youth Development Strategy and 5-Year Implementation Plan which captures a variety of goals, actions and outcomes. This document will drive our Parks and Recreation programs and services for youth over the next five years. The following six priority areas were identified by Saanich youth through our engagement process:

TEENS IN ACTION – LEVEL 2: LEARN TO LEAD 15-16yrs

Learn to lead games and facilitate activities in a supportive group setting while you expand your leadership skills in a recreational daycamp setting. Participants will attend two weeks of training and have the opportunity to complete an additional one-week summer volunteer placement. Certificate, games manual and t-shirt included. SAANICH COMMONWEALTH PLACE 755456 M-F Jul 11-22 10:00am-3:00pm 10/$225

Increase Participation: we aim to decrease barriers to participation (cost, transportation…etc.) to get more youth active and engaged. Collaboration: we strive to work with our community partners to provide more and better opportunities for youth in Saanich. Outdoor Play and Risk: we will combat the ‘indoorification’ of our youth – get out of their way and let them play! Social Wellbeing: we recognize the holistic nature of health and will focus on all aspects of supporting healthy active youth in Saanich.

SUMMER YOUTH INTERNSHIP 16-18yrs

Youth Spaces: we will continue to provide quality, needed programming in our teen dedicated spaces (Flipside @ G.R.Pearkes, Upside @ SCP, and Backdoor @ GHRC)

The Youth Summer Internship Program supports youth aged 16 to 18 years in gaining work experience in a fun and dynamic environment. Through a monthlong, mentored recreation day camp placement, this program offers successful applicants the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience working with children. Previous leadership training and experience is an asset. Participants who successfully complete the four-week program will receive a $500 honorarium. This program can also be used for graduation and work experience requirements. For a complete program overview visit www. saanich.ca/youth Application deadline: June 1, 2016. Please email resume and cover letter to loryn. anderson@ saanich.ca. For more info, call 250-475-7111.

Communication: we see the need to tailor our communications to meet the unique needs of youth, and will continue to work to do so in an authentic way.

To be continued…. True to our commitment towards engagement, we are interested in what youth have to say. Do you have an idea for a program or service that Saanich Parks and Recreation could offer for youth in your community? Please contact Youth Services at 250-475-5412 / Chris.Filler@saanich.ca.

L.I.F.E is for everyone, youth too. If cost is a barrier, please ask us how we can assist.

Lesson Supervisor Did you know that during all lesson times there is an on-deck lesson supervisor? This person is available to answer questions, help you with any concerns and provide a link between you and the instructor (as instructors have limited time between classes). Look for the person in a blue tank top at Gordon Head or a purple staff shirt Saanich Commonwealth and we’ll be happy to assist you.

What is FootGolf? FootGolf uses similiar rules and ideas as golf except that it involves kicking a #5 soccer ball from a tee or starting area into a 21” cup on our Golf Course, instead of using a golf ball and clubs. The goal is to use the least number of kicks to put the ball into the hole. FootGolf is incorporated into the golf course in a way that allows it to be played cooperatively with regular golf.
