GRYPHON CAMPS KIDS ACTIVITY & SPORTS SPECIFIC

CAMP STAFF

Our counsellors are primarily University/College students, graduates, and varsity athletes.

Some camp staff are older High School students who work closely with our senior staff. All successful applicants have been thoroughly interviewed, and many have been a part of our team for several summers. All Gryphon Camp staff participate in extensive training, are certified in Emergency First Aid and CPR, and have Police Record Checks.

We also offer the opportunity for High School students to fulfill community service volunteer hours (participants must be a minimum of 15 years old). See page 23 for details.

YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY

All Gryphon Activity Camp Counsellors are certified in Emergency First Aid and CPR to ensure a top quality, and most importantly, safe camp experience for your child. During all of our training sessions, emergency procedures are reviewed thoroughly. Additional topics discussed include: custody arrangements, child abuse, behaviour modification, weather conditions and self-esteem.

While using the swimming pool, certified lifeguards are present at all times as well as the camp counsellors. Children take part in a swimming test at the beginning of the first swimming session. If your child is not a strong enough swimmer, they will wear a Personal Flotation Device at all times. Safety is our first concern.

Campers are required to bring their own sunscreen and hat (younger children will be assisted with sunscreen).

SIGN-IN/SIGN-OUT PROCEDURES

Our procedures are intended to keep your child safe. You will be asked to sign your child in with Gryphon Camp Counsellors each morning. At the end of the day, you will be asked to sign your child out with a counsellor. You will be required to show photo I.D. at sign out.

At the parents discretion, you can waive the sign-in/sign-out requirement during your registration process. All sign-in/sign-out locations are indicated on the camp pages. If on any day your child is unable to attend camp, you must contact us at 519-824-4120, ext. 56131 (please use this phone number and extension only).

LUNCH AND SNACKS

Each child will be expected to provide their own lunch, two healthy snacks and should bring plenty to drink. Please avoid nut products. Water fountains are available.

NUT PRODUCTS

All of our camps are nut free camps. Please help us keep the camp as nut-free as possible by choosing lunch and snack products that do not contain nuts. During weeks when a camper with a known allergy of any kind is identified to our staff, additional notification will be provided.

ALL CAMP REGISTRATION FEES INCLUDE:

• Camp T-shirt (or hockey jersey for hockey camps) • Staff to camper ratio 1:9 or better • Free supervision 8:00am until camp starts, and until 5:00pm after camp ends • Daily recreational swim(s) as applicable • Optional post supervision 5:00-6:00pm, additional fee of $25 per week, per camper

FACILITIES

All camps take place on the beautiful University of Guelph campus, using many of the Athletics and University facilities available. We ensure that all camps are conducted in a safe environment with professional equipment and care. Facilities used by our camps include: • W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre • 7 Volleyball Courts • 4 Basketball Courts • Multipurpose Studios • Indoor Rock Climbing Wall • Weight and Cardio Rooms • Recreation Pool • 8 Lane Competitive Pool • Alumni Stadium

• Gryphon Beach Volleyball Courts • Gryphon Ball Diamonds • Gryphon Centre Twin Pad Arena • Gryphon Field House • Gryphon Soccer Complex • Gryphon Varsity Field • Johnston Green • University of Guelph Arboretum

PARKING

Prior to 9:00am and after 4:00pm each day free parking is available in lot P12 (adjacent to the Arena and Athletics Centre) so that parents may drop-off and pick-up their campers.

Any visitors to the University of Guelph campus between 9:00am and 4:00pm should use the parking meters available in lot P12 to avoid parking fines. The roundabout area in front of the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre is for emergency vehicles and NO cars should be left unattended in this area. Gryphon Camps will not be responsible for parking fines incurred.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our purpose is to support the mission of the Department of Athletics and to improve the quality of life of all campers by providing opportunities for growth, leadership and total human development through physical activity and creative endeavours.

We believe children are our future and strive to provide the best possible environment for them to develop, mature and grow with guidance. gryphons.ca 55 gryphons.ca

The Gryphon Camp Experience Sending your child to camp for the first time is a new experience for both you and your child. This section is designed to help you understand what a day in the life of Gryphon Camps is like, and help determine if Gryphon Camps is right for you and your child.

SIGN-IN / SIGN-OUT

All of our camps come together to common areas for sign-in and sign-out each day. For most of our camps we sign in and out of three main locations: the W.F. Mitchell Athletics Centre, the Gryphon Field House, and the Gryphon Centre Arena. This means there are a lot of children in one area during these times and it can appear chaotic, and perhaps overwhelming at first. Rest assured that our camp staff is there to engage your camper and to help them feel welcome.

If your child is not adjusting well to the sign-in activities, please talk with our camp staff. We do find that some children are much more comfortable in their smaller groups (see groups below).

Please be prepared on Monday mornings, as there may be short line ups at sign-in while our camp staff confirms your camper’s information. There are signs in all of our facilities identifying where each camp is gathering.

Drop-off and Pick-up locations are shown for each program on the description page in this ribbon.

GROUPS

Each camp is split into smaller groups based on age and skill. We maintain the 1:9 ratio of paid staff to campers at all times, and often we also have volunteers and Junior Leaders with our camp groups. Throughout the day, the smaller groups form a large group for activities such as swimming, tournaments, and special guests.

It is important that your child understands that they must remain with their group at all times, even during all camp events during the day. It can be tempting for them to try to find a brother or sister or friend in another group, but if a camper leaves a group this could cause a very serious situation. If a camper would like to be grouped with another camper, we are happy to do our best to accommodate this. Please make this request at the time of registration.

ACTIVITY CAMPS

Our activity camps include everything from pages 11-21. These camps are designed for a general activity level. All weeks of activity camp have a theme or sport that most of the major activities focus on. However, there are activities such as sport games, crafts, low intensity games, and swimming that do not focus on the theme.

Each week there will also be guest speakers, special events, tournaments, or field trips (Senior Multi-Sport, Girls Inc., and Boys Week Out). It is important to note that for field trips we have a better than 1:9 ratio and senior camp staff or senior Athletics staff accompany the groups. It is especially important for your child to stay with their group during field trips.

6 GRYPHON CAMP GUIDE | SUMMER 2015

SPORT CAMPS

Sport Camps have a more focused approach to skill development and these camps are very active. There will be some non-sport related activities, but for most of the day they will be playing that sport. Elite sport camps have a specific skill curriculum, while all of the other sport camps focus on having fun while learning a new sport or improving skills.

Campers will be grouped based on skill and age. It is important to note that our sport camps welcome all campers – from beginners to those who have been playing for many years. All sport camps have some form of competition or tournament at the end of each week.

CAMPER READINESS

Only you and your child can determine if your child is ready for camp, and often the best way to determine that is to have a conversation with them. Discuss with them what they can expect at camp. Some key things they must be prepared for in order to have a successful camp experience include: . Be comfortable in both large and small group settings with children they may not know, and get along with them . Be comfortable taking directions from camp staff and follow directions . Stay with their group . Be active, but also communicate with camp staff if they need a break . Apply sunscreen or understand the importance of sunscreen and ask a counsellor for help applying sunscreen . Understand the importance of snacks, lunch and water, and be able to manage their food and drinks on their own or be able to ask a counsellor for help . Dress themselves, know when they have to go to the washroom and ask to go . Keep track of and carry their own backpack

All camps (except Mini Gryphs and P.D. Day Camp) swim at least once a day, and the activity camps swim twice a day. While we encourage all campers to participate in all swims, some campers are not ready. In this case, staff are assigned to remain out of the pool and will have activities for our non-swimmers.

We strive for all of our camps to be accessible, and will work with you to help your child transition to camp. Please share any concerns with us so that we can help your child thrive at camp. For example, we can direct you to resources such as The Canadian Mental Health Association. Please also feel free to contact our camps office at 519-824-4120 x56131 or camps@uoguelph.ca.

See pg 1

If we feel that your child is not ready for camp and have exhausted all means to ensure their success at camp, we reserve the right to refund your remaining camp fee and ask that they return when they are more prepared for camp.

The camp will focus on the important elements of social, physical and educational development. The play-based program will provide the opportunity for children to develop socialization, fine motor, and gross motor skills that will prepare them for a summer camp environment. The goal of the program is to help children transition into Junior Activity Camp later in the summer or sometime in the future. We are excited to grow great Gryphons!

All instructors in this program will be University of Guelph students in or graduates of the Child, Youth and Family program or registered Early Childhood Educators.

Please note this program is designed for children who prefer smaller groups and require more individual attention. Please note that we do not offer a 1:1 ratio.

Waiver Form & Other Important Info Parental Release and Indemnification Form I as the legal guardian or custodial parent of the Camper who has been registered to participate in the selected Gryphon Camp operated by the University of Guelph (the “University”), hereby acknowledge that certain risks of injury are inherent to participation in recreational activities, sporting activities, lesson/ laboratory experiments and transportation to, from and at camp. These types of injuries may be minor or serious and may result from one’s actions, or the actions or inactions of others or a combination of both.

In return for the University approving the participation of the Camper in this additional activity, I agree to hereby release and forever discharge the University of Guelph, its officers, faculty, staff and agents from all claims for damages, loss and injury, which now or may hereafter be sustained by the Camper arising out of the participation in the camp.

I declare having read and understood the release form in its entirety and hereby agree to be bound by the terms and conditions. Understanding the terms and conditions of this release, I give my consent for the Camper to participate.

Emergency Treatment/Information Form As the legal guardian or custodial parent of the Camper, I hereby give my permission to the University of Guelph, its officers, directors, servants, employees and agents to provide basic first aid or procure medical treatment for the Camper in case of injury or accident or otherwise by a nurse, doctor, hospital or clinic chosen by the University and/or its employees, agents. I agree to be responsible for any and all costs associated with such treatment.

Please note that Gryphon Camps will not release a child to a parent or designate that staff reasonably believe are under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. Staff are instructed to request that the parent/designate take a cab or call another person to come and get them and/or child.

If this is not observed by the parent/designate, the Campus Police will be called to enforce this policy.

Pictures are frequently taken throughout the camps and there is a possibility that your child’s picture could appear in future brochures. Please inform us, if this is contrary to your wishes.

EQUIPMENT I have read the equipment requirements for the camp I am registering my child into on the specific camp page. I acknowledge that it is my responsibility to send my child to camp with that required equipment.

The required equipment is not available through the camp unless otherwise specified.
