GRYPHON CAMPS KIDS ACTIVITY & SPORTS SPECIFIC

CAMP STAFF

Our instructors 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 34 for details.

YOUR CHILDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SAFETY

All Gryphon Activity Camp Instructors 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 instructors. Children take part in a swimming test at the beginning of the first swimming session each week. If your child is not a strong enough swimmer, they will wear a Personal Floatation 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 Instructors each morning. At the end of the day, you will be asked to sign your child out with an instructor. 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).

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.

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 a day in the life of a Gryphon Camper and allow you to determine if your child is ready for Gryphon Camps.

SIGN-IN / SIGN-OUT

All of our campers come together in 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 child 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 childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 camp 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 23-34. 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.

SPRING & SUMMER 2017 GRYPH GUIDE

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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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.

Mini-Gryphs & Rock Climbing camps are back for 2017

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 be able to 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 an instructor 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 an instructor 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 swim once 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. 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 Gryphon Summer Camps were my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first experience at any summer camp. She absolutely loved it! Thank you for setting such a positive tone for future camps for her. Olivia is already missing all of you! Parent of Camper, August 2016

mini gryphs

AGES 3-5

Mini Gryphs is an all-new program specifically designed for young children ages 3-5 who are new to camp. This 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 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! This program will provide a great opportunity for children to transition to camp by offering small ratios of 1:5 and will focus on building attachments between instructors and campers. Several instructors in this program will have a background in Child, Youth Family Studies or are 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. For more information on how to acquire a 1:1 worker while your child is in camp, please contact camps@uoguelph.ca Please note that there is no daily swim as part of this program. Campers will be introduced to the pool environment to observe other camps during their swims.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to interact with many positive role models and will always have someone nearby to assist them when needed. If the volunteer is placed in Senior Multi-Sport, Girls Inc. or Boys Week Out Camps they are not guaranteed to attend the weekly trip. It is up to the discretion of the administrative team and senior instructors whether they are ready for this extra leadership opportunity. If they do not attend the trip, they are still expected to be in camp that day and will be placed with a group in Junior Activity Camp. The Volunteer Program requires that you complete the two hour training session of your choice and at least one in-camp experience week.
