A+ Math Camp

NEW!

Grades 2-6. Would you like to give your child an advantage in math? A+ Math Masters is a math enrichment program that offers a week-long summer booster program to challenge kids who would like to get a little more out of math. Students are grouped by ability level and each group has approximately 10-15 students. Methods include real-life applications of math, logic and math games, presented in such a fun way that children don't realize it’s a math camp! There will be units on economics (budgeting) and nutrition (label reading and calorie counting). These units use math to teach children some fundamental, highly useful, lifelong skills. The curriculum covers grade-level expectations, plus expands the curriculum to the fullest ability of the child. Although the emphasis is to challenge accelerated students, all levels are welcome because the program is highly tailored to the child. Students provide own snack and beverage.

Call 734-994-2300, ext. 53208 Register at www.aareced.com

This camp is for incoming 1st-5th graders (Fall 2011-12) who enjoy learning about their world through hands-on exploration. You may enroll your child in 1-week sessions, but we encourage parents to register their camper for a 2-week theme to maximize the academic continuity and field experience. Monday-Thursday mornings campers have a small group experience led by exemplary AAPS teachers. Unique to this camp, students synthesize their afternoon experience through writing, scientific inquiry and problem solving. Students will utilize skills they learned the previous school year, while preparing them to build on those skills in the upcoming school year. Friday mornings are set aside for special interactive hands on projects based at the site.

The classroom is outdoors in the afternoon... the sky is the limit! In the afternoons, AAPS Naturalists Dave Szczygiel and John Stahly lead campers in explorations of a variety of natural areas that provide a theme and context for the morning math and language arts lessons. Each Friday afternoon all campers have fun swimming at a local public pool.

Safety Town

Questions? Call 734-994-2300, ext. 53106

Do you have a child ready to start kindergarten in the fall? Come to Safety Town where your child learns safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-size mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on bikes. The curriculum covers bike helmets and booster seats, stranger danger, fire safety, riding a school bus, pedestrian safety, etc. Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons. Guest speakers includee: Buster the Bus”, AAPS’ own talking school bus, “Andy the Ambulance” HVA’s talking ambulance, Police officers, Firefighters, Healthcare workers and Safety experts from the Washtenaw County Coalition. The 2011 program is sponsored by REC & ED in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The goal is to help kids evaluate “safe” from “unsafe” when confronted with potentially dangerous situations. We are aware of two incidents when Safety Town training helped save the lives of past participants! Students can be placed with friends as long as registration forms are submitted together and a special request is listed on the forms. In most cases we are able to place children with others attending their school. Please plan on staying with your child for a few minutes the first day to find the location of the classroom, receive a brief orientation and meet the teacher. Scholarships are available for those who financially qualify. The last day of the session is a graduation ceremony. Parents are invited to attend the brief ceremony, after which children are dismissed. Sign up for our Safety Town & Camp Combination, which provides a wrap-around program Monday-Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

The Parents’ Corner Entering or Graduating?

Medications

Packing a Safe Lunch

Throughout this catalog you will find that the grades listed are for children who are entering that grade indicated this fall (20112012). Safety Town Program and the Safety Town Camp are only for children entering Kindergarten this fall, 2011.

If your child must take a medication during the camp day, the Ann Arbor Public Schools medication policy states that the on-site administration of any medication requires written authorization on file. The authorization must be signed by both a physician and a parent, whether the medication is prescribed or over-the-counter. All medications must be in their original containers and clearly labeled. Camps follow the district policy governing the use of Epi-pen injections for insect or food allergies. It is the parent’s responsibility to communicate any special concerns to the Camp Coordinator and to provide any necessary training to camp staff. We require at least four weeks notice for staff to be trained in the use of the Epi-pen.

Packed lunches at camp are often kept at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Foods which will be kept at room temperature need to be selected and handled carefully to prevent food poisoning. There are two ways to keep a packed lunch safe to eat. One is to choose foods which may safely be kept at room temperature. The other is careful handling of foods.

Multi-Week Discount Any child enrolled in 5 or more weeks of full day summer camps (Quest, TNT, Green Adventures and all Literature and Enrichment camps) in one transaction will receive 10% off the total cost. You will not receive a discount if you enroll the same child in one camp this week and the same child next week in a second transaction. To receive the discount you must pay for the five or more weeks of camp at the same time. There is a multi-camper enrollment discount for Rock Band Boot Camp or Jazz Camp.

Safety First Each day a parent or guardian of preschool and elementary aged children must accompany the child(ren) into the camp and sign the child in. At the end of each day of camp, the parent or guardian must come into the building to pick up the child and sign the child(ren) out. If you are sending a relative or friend to pick up your child, we ask that you provide a written note giving that person permission.

Allergies If you receive a message or see a sign indicating that a building or area in a building is “no nut” or “dairy free,” please be respectful of that rule if you send food with your child. Staff will follow the Ann Arbor Public Schools’ guidelines for managing life threatening food allergies. If your child has an allergy action plan, please let us know at least four weeks in advance of your child’s participation in the camp. Call 734-994-2300 ext. 53219.

If you have questions, call REC & ED at 734-994-2300, x53219

Camp T-Shirts Many camps provide a T-shirt for each camper. Please indicate the t-shirt size of your child on the registration form. You will be required to complete this information when you register online.

Great Staff! Staff members receive ongoing training in the areas of child development, quality environment, programming, behavior management and health and safety. Each camp has at least one staff member who is CPR and first-aid certified.

Registration Hint Enroll your campers in the free registration section for Quest, Green Adventures or TNT and complete that transaction. You can then easily enroll your child in any week of camp.
