BROCK PARTNERS 1:1 SUPPORT 8 Weeks - $210 per week or $170 on short weeks Camp is busy, active and full of sounds. We recognize that some children need extra support in these types of environments. Having a Brock partner allows campers to step out of regular programming according to their needs. If your child receives support at school or in other educational settings, we recommend 1:1 support at camp. While we would be able to support a wide variety of complexities, the staff consists of university students, not EAs, or child & youth workers, therefore we do have limitations. For example, we are not able to support toileting. A limited number of spaces will be available each week for campers requiring 1:1 support, so please register early. Campers registered for a Brock partner will then also select the camp of their choice (Youth U, Sports School, Aquatics) and participate fully in the camp activities. Please note that our 1:1 staff are in place for the regular camp day but are not always the same staff assigned to supervise extended care.

As in the past, we continue to offer the option for families to make arrangements for an Independent Support Worker to attend camp with a child at their own expense. For more information please call Youth University 905 688 5550 x3120 or email youthuniversity@brocku.ca

CAMP DETAILS  CAMP HOURS Camp runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For your convenience drop off begins at 8:30 a.m. and you may pick up by 4:30 p.m. for no additional fee.

Life-Ring SWIMMING Most camps will swim at the Brock University pool. Certified lifeguards are on duty and monitor our swim time. Our instructors will be in the water as well. All campers who are 9 years old and under who wish to swim in the middle or deep end of the pool must complete a swim test administered by the lifeguards. Campers who are 10 years and older and those who complete the swim test will be permitted to swim in all areas - this includes the 1, 3 and 5-metre diving boards and the Tarzan rope. If you have questions, please contact us. All campers who swim will be provided a clean towel.

SUMMER CAMPS 2019

Please note that there is no swimming at off campus locations and the pool will be closed for annual maintenance in week 8.

 ROCK CLIMBING AND CHALLENGE COURSE Youth University and senior Sports School campers will have the opportunity to climb at our Outdoor Rock Climbing Tower and Challenge Course once during their camp week. Although our trained ropes course facilitators will encourage campers to question their perceptions of what they believe they can accomplish, we would never push them too far where learning is replaced by fear. We encourage everyone to find a challenge that is right for them.

 MEAL PLAN An optional, well-balanced lunch is available for Sports School, YU and Aquatics campers. Lunch is served in a Brock University dining hall with all you can eat fruit, veggies and a hot entree each day. Campers with meal plan should still bring a refillable water bottle and snacks for the day. Campers are welcome to bring their own lunches from home, in fact most do, and everyone eats together as a group. Cost: 5 day lunch plan: $45 + HST Friday lunch: $9 + HST

building FACILITIES Our campus is interconnected with the feel of a small community. We sit on top of the Niagara Escarpment in a park-like setting that is part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Our 500-acre site is surrounded by a hardwood forest, hiking trails, a campfire area, a high ropes and challenge course, and lots of open field space for activities and recreation. Campers enjoy their days in our air-conditioned gymnasiums, auditoriums, classrooms and laboratories as well as outdoors.

medkit HEALTH AND SAFETY We are leaders in safety management for youth and always design our programs to meet the highest standards. Our commitment to safety begins with our staff hiring and training. We are guided by, and exceed standards set out by the Ontario Camp Association, Ontario Physical Education Association, the Association for Challenge Course Technology, and the Lifesaving Society.

 CAMPER CONDUCT Brock is committed to creating a sense of belonging and providing an enriching experience for all campers. Therefore, our campers are expected to demonstrate respect for the dignity and rights of all others. Inappropriate behaviour such as bullying, teasing, harassment, swearing, acts of aggression, pranks, or disrespect for other people or the environment are not tolerated. Camp management reserves the right to recommend the use of a 1:1 instructor or to remove campers from the program if their behaviour requires supervision beyond a reasonable level.
