Welcome to Camp About our Program Parent Handbook
The Parent Handbook will outline everything you need to know about your camp experience. Please review and ensure your child is aware of what is expected of them, other participants and staff. This can be found at orillia.ca/camps.
Program Conduct and Goals
We aim to provide enjoyable activities in a safe and positive environment. We expect all campers to be courteous and respectful to all participants and staff; use non-offensive language at all times; support and appreciate each other; solve problems in a fair and peaceful manner; include others in activities; and play without bullying or teasing others.
Our Team
CAMPS
Our camp staff are responsible for the well-being and safety of your children at camp. Their duties include coordinating engaging activities for the campers, developing new programs, and supervising campers to make sure they are safe and happy. All camp staff go through a thorough screening process including a formal and practical interview, reference checks and vulnerable sector screening.

Remember, your children are at camp. Their clothes should be comfortable and able to withstand the rigors of camp life! Please ensure that everything your child brings to camp, including clothing, is labelled with their full name. Electronic devices are not permitted at camp. Recreation and Youth Services is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please do not send valuables to camp. Please pack lunch and snacks to keep your camper fueled up all day long. Nutritious lunch and drinks (nut free) Additional snacks for morning and afternoon (nut free) Proper outdoor attire (indoor running shoes, no flip flops) Extra change of clothes (just in case) Sunscreen and bug spray Bathing suit, towel and extra t-shirt on high UV index days
What to Expect at Camp What Does a Day of Camp Look Like?
All of our camp programs offer fun and creative experience for a variety of age groups. Water play or swim days may also be available depending on the location and weather conditions. All day camps will enjoy indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, sports and more. If you have registered in a theme, camp staff aim to do one to two themed activities a day. However, our goal is to provide a wide range of camp activities to keep your child active and engaged all week long. Please be aware that in addition to themed activities each camper will participate in a diverse selection of activities, including active and quiet games, arts and crafts, nature-based activities and outdoor activities when space and weather permit.
Pickup Identification Protocol
Upon pick up, day camp staff will ask for photo identification in order to verify the individual who is picking up the child from camp. This is done every day regardless of if the camp staff know who you are. Please ensure you or the individual picking up the camper always has photo identification on them.
Orillia Recreation Centre Children 7-9Y who pass a swim test require a 1:8 ratio and can be in both the shallow and deep end. Children 7-9Y who fail the swim test require a 1:6 ratio and must wear a lifejacket in the lap pool, or remain in the shallow end without a lifejacket.
11
Moose Beach Children 7-9Y who pass a swim test require a 1:8 ratio and can swim freely in the water due to its shallow nature. Children 7-9Y who fail the swim test must remain within arm’s reach of a counsellor but are not required to wear a lifejacket.
Monday is Mail Day
An email will be sent to you the week prior to your start of camp outlining the activities for the week and what to expect. Please make sure your email is up to date on your account to receive all communication from us! On Monday any additional information such as special themes, trips or outings will be clearly posted at the camp location’s welcome table.
Swimming Policy
All camps with the swimming symbol go swimming either at the beach or at the Orillia Recreation Centre. The Recreation and Youth Services Division lifeguards and camp staff work together as a team to ensure the safety of all kids at camps when swimming at camp. All children who are swimming at camps must perform a swim test. Ratios are determined between camp staff and guards based on the result. Kids will be permitted to swim test once per day.
Additional Safety Measures: • All campers must stay within the designated camp area set out by the lifeguards. • Buddy checks will be announced every 15 minutes, with lifeguards announcing “Buddy Check” clearly for all campers and camp staff to hear. At this time campers must exit the water immediately for a head count. • Only one camp goes swimming at a time to ensure best possible supervision. • All staff wear a designated pinnie to better identify themselves to campers and the public. All campers wear wristbands to ensure easy identification.
Lunches should be Nut Free!
Pack a litterless lunch, snacks and drinks daily. We suggest a reusable water bottle (no glass please) so children can fuel up and have the energy to go, go, go! Due to the number of nut-related allergies, peanut butter, nuts and any foods that contain nut byproducts will not be allowed at camp. Pack your lunches with care. Please note that the facilities themselves are not nut-free.

Inclusion Program The City of Orillia strives to be a safe, fun, and welcoming place for all participants. If your child requires extra support to participate in camp, you may be able to register for our Inclusion Support Program. Through this program, a dedicated staff member called an Inclusion Facilitator will support you or your child for the duration of the week at camp. If you already have an external support person/facilitator and want them to attend a program at any of our facilities, you are welcome to do so. The support person/ facilitator will not be charged any additional fees. Your child may require a facilitator if they: • Have a physical, visual, hearing, developmental or intellectual disability. • Have attention or behaviour challenges. • Receive support or special education services at school or from a community agency. You can find more information services that are designed for children, youth, adults or seniors living with disabilities or additional needs who would benefit from our inclusion program at orillia.ca/inclusion!
Participant Intake Form
All participants who require additional support, adaptations, or are attending a program with a City of Orillia 1:1 Inclusion Facilitator are required to fill out the Participant Intake Form prior to registration. Once the form has been completed, a supervisor will be in touch
with you in regard to next steps. Please be aware that due to the 1:1 nature of our support, you will not lose your spot in the programming while the form is being reviewed. The Participant Intake Form is confidential and will only be provided to the staff and/or volunteers working directly with a participant. Once received, our staff review the intake form to ensure our facilitators have the appropriate training and skills to support the participant. If for any reason the participant requires assistance outside of our scope, we work with the family to try find an alternate arrangement.
Costs and Funding
All participants have access to three weeks of inclusion support per summer. The City of Orillia provides one week with free support where you are only responsible for the cost of the day camp. Weeks 2 and 3 are an additional $370 for support. Week 1: Free support + cost of camp Week 2 & 3: $370 for support + cost of camp Funding vouchers from partner agencies (New Path, Catulpa Community Support Services, Health Star, etc.) must be signed and presented at the time of registration. If the voucher does not cover the full amount of camp/inclusion fees, the remaining balance must be paid by the parents/guardian at the time of registration.
Facilitator Training
Inclusion facilitators are usually students with limited behaviour management training. It is important that families and caregivers are aware that staff are not able to provide the same level of support as educational assistants or behaviour therapists. For a list of training and needs that can and cannot be accommodated by our Inclusion Facilitators please review our Inclusion Program guide online at orillia.ca/inclusion.

This experience will equip youth to become great leaders. This week we will focus on learning about effective leadership, teambuilding, back pocket games, songs and activities. We will spend time learning and practicing together and have many opportunities to interact with the younger campers throughout the week to put our new skills and ideas into action! We will also enjoy canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, enhancing our swim skills, and receiving a first aid overview. By the end, CITs will have sufficient skills and knowledge to help lead a group of campers in any of our day camps. CITs will spend their second week of camp continuing to practice their newly acquired skills by volunteering at one of our camps. Camp Cost includes a t-shirt!

Policy Information In Detail
Once you have selected a program of interest, please refer to the registration details below the general description. Courses fill up quickly, so be sure to register promptly. This guide is produced by the City of Orillia Recreation and Youth Services Division. Staff work hard to ensure this guide is accurate; however, due to the seasonal format, changes may occur after printing.
First Come - First Served The best way to secure your spot is online as submission of a registration form does not guarantee a place. All registrations will be processed in the order they are received. Registrations are not confirmed until you receive a receipt. If a registration form is received by the office prior to the registration start date, it will be processed, as time allows, starting on the applicable registration date.
Non-City Resident Policy All recreation programs have a rate for City of Orillia residents and a rate for non-residents. A non-resident is defined as anyone who does not pay taxes directly to the City of Orillia. The programs offered by the Recreation and Youth Services Division are subsidized by municipal taxes, keeping the cost as low as possible for those who contribute to the municipal tax base. Twenty five percent (25%) will be added to the registration costs of non-residents. The Recreation and Youth Services Division reserves the right to request proof of residency.
Prorating of Program Fees The Recreation and Youth Services Division does NOT prorate fees for late registration of programs and camps.
NSF Cheques The City of Orillia charges an administration fee of $37.00 for each NSF cheque received.
