There are many benefits to sending your child to camp There are hundreds of reasons for kids to go to camp. Here is a partial list followed by expert advice: 1. Make new friends (the number one outcome cited by children who attend camp).

2. Learn new physical skills (arts and crafts, sports, swimming, waterskiing, archery).

3. Learn new social skills (communication, leadership, teamwork).

4. Gain an appreciation of people’s different abilities (we are all gifted in some way or another).

5. Experience the feelings of love, safety, and security.

6. Enjoy being a kid and clowning around.

7. Experience the freedom to make choices, decisions, and mistakes.

8. Do chores without being paid (kids help to clean up after lunch and to keep the camp area clean).

9. Have one outstanding teacher (we have lots of the non-academic kind here).

10. See positive adult role models in a fun environment.

11. Participate on teams.

12. Experience a community where everyone is welcome regardless of race, creed or religion.

13. Learn how to swim (many camps provide daily swimming opportunities).

14. Receive praise for who they are and what they accomplish.

15. Turn off the television for a week.

(There are no TVs at most camps.)

16. To gain leadership skills within a group of their peers.

17. Experience things for the first time.

18. Build confidence in all the things they can do.

19. Feel comfortable being themselves.

(All personalities are encouraged and celebrated at camp.)

20. Learn to adjust to new environments, various social situations.

21. Gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction, self-esteem, and leadership.

22. Develop personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle.

23. Discover and explore their interests, values and talents.

24. Learn to adjust to new environments.

25. Take responsibility for others and help out.

26. Increase their problem-solving skills.

27. Meet a new circle of peers outside of their school friends.

28. Create life-long friendships.

29. Gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction and personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle.

30. Trust their own instincts and gain a sense of independence.

31. MOST IMPORTANTLY... to have fun.

A camp experience is without equal. Even those campers who have behavioural issues during the school year, difficulty concentrating, or who cannot relate well with their peers, are highly successful.

Camp is a place where strengths are reinforced and people recognize and accept

others who have varying abilities and talents. In so doing, each participant can applaud the efforts of their peers. Feeling that support, the young person is willing to attempt more complex and challenging activities without the fear of failure.

Camp is for every child regardless of talent and ability.

Each summer, it is evident by the smiles on their faces and the laughter we hear that campers are extremely happy in the camp environment. They learn to be self reliant, cooperative, understanding and sensitive.

As part of a relatively small group they make friendships and establish bonds that will last a lifetime. And that, is what camp is all about.

Count Smart: Your childmaybe maybe eligible Your child eligible for TaxTax Credit for Disability Disability Credit If your child has learning or behavioural difficulties that affect them daily, you may be eligible for the Disability Tax Credit Government Refund. Many children meet the criteria, but parents are unaware that this credit is available to them. This credit is also available for adults that have difficulty completing everyday tasks.

Refunds can be generated in the thousands depending on individual circumstances.

Why choose Count Smart Inc. to advocate for you?

It’s what we do! We assess each file in a confidential and respectful manner, and have the experience to successfully navigate the application from start to finish. We have generated thousands of dollars in refunds for people who have not known this credit was available to them or their family members. Many

people think the eligibility is based on their annual income, however this is not the case.

There are no applicable fees unless you get a refund. We have more than 15 years of experience and our success rate is excellent.

For those that have the Disability Tax Credit already approved It is definitely worth having us review your previously approved application as we often find additional refunds that were never paid out.

Have you been denied for the Disability Tax Credit?

This is not uncommon. This is why we do what we do. Contact us at 613-832-1777 so that we can advocate for you!

Après 41 ans, le Club de gymnastique Les Sittelles a plusieurs raisons de célébrer, notamment, nos racines dans la communauté francophone, ainsi que le dévouement et l’engagement de nos membres. Plus que tout, nous célébrons la réussite de nos athlètes, soit les centaines, voire milliers de personnes qui sont passées par le Club de gymnastique Les Sittelles et ont relevé des défis personnels.

Tant de choses ont changé depuis les débuts des Sittelles, pourtant notre vision et nos objectifs demeurent solidement tissés au sein du développement des habiletés physiques et mentales des jeunes, notamment en promouvant la participation, l’esprit d’équipe, la discipline personnelle, ainsi que l’atteinte d’objectifs personnels, le tout dans un environnement complètement francophone.

Visitez notre site Web pour en apprendre davantage sur l’historique du seul club de gymnastique francophone de tout l’Ontario et sur nos différents programmes récréatifs et compétitifs de gymnastique artistique et de trampoline.

En 1980, alors que les activités récréatives pour les familles de l’Est de l’Ontario étaient majoritairement en anglais, Marguerite Landriault, mère de 5 enfants, fonde le Club de gymnastique Les Sittelles.

Ottawa School of Theatre The Ottawa School of Theatre is thrilled and happy to announce that their Summer Camp program will return in studio this summer where students and OST-ETO’s professional instructors will build and present live performances.

The Ottawa TFC soccer club will once again be holding a series of soccer camps this summer for youth age 8-12. The camps are designed to develop a player’s individual skills and help build the confidence needed to enjoy the beautiful game.

The extra benefits of theatre study are countless! Self-confidence, public speaking, physical and spatial awareness, empathy, self-awareness, team building skills... and on and on! Theatre skills are a Super Vitamin for healthy humans!

All camps will develop the following skills: theatre games; character development; voice and speech; warm up techniques; team-building and collaboration.

SUMMER 2022 THEATRE CAMPS! In French and English for students age 6 to 15 years offered in the OST-ETO studio at the Shenkman Arts Centre.

While all of our camps will be presented in person, there will be a virtual ZOOM option for students who can’t make it in person for whatever reason. All that is required on the part of the student is an Internet connection, a computer (desktop,

laptop or tablet with webcam / microphone) and enthusiasm.

The goal in either case is to provide summer theatre that is rewarding, enriching and challenging; that is focused on encouraging participation, and that helps students try out new skills.

Each camp will meet once per day (times vary depending on the camp) from Monday to Friday.

For more information visit www.ost-eto.ca or call 613 580-2764 to leave a message.

WOW! What a crazy year! Going to see live music has literally been shut down but there has never been more of a need to listen, enjoy and participate in music. Social interaction, learning a skill and building confidence are all reasons for you to engage in music lessons.

School of Rock went 100% remote when lockdown hit in March 2020 and since then we have been providing all of our programs both remote and at the school depending on the restrictions in place. With over 2,500 square feet in our school including six lesson rooms plus two rehearsal rooms, School of Rock ensures that students are taught in a safe and fun environment. We offer programs for all levels and all ages and if you would prefer to have your lessons remotely via Zoom we are happy to accommodate.

Our patented results-driven programs combine one on one lessons with group band practices, making School of Rock the ultimate music school for kids and adults.

The one-week day camps are a great way to be introduced to the school. No experience is needed and students will enjoy the thrill of playing in a band. Last year we offered more camps than ever but to ensure social distancing they were smaller in size. We sold out and we hope to do that again this year.

So, if you are looking for a great activity for your kids, whether it’s one of our programs or a camp, or you yourself are interested in our adult program then give us a call. We

8 • March 17, 2022 • Volume 36, No. 22

offer a free first lesson to ensure that this is a good fit and all of our programs run month to month with no long-term commitment.
