It is the process used for creating fictional worlds in books, movies, games, and art. We will cover the most successful fictional worlds and what makes them so popular. From there we break down every detail in the process of world creation. Students are then encouraged to design their own worlds using their favorite mediums. These projects are of their own choosing and could include short stories, paintings, sketches, comics, or maps. Zines & Things Write, draw, craft, and create your own self-made booklets! Zines (ZEENS) are do-it-yourself books that can include writing and art. In this class, we’ll create our own zine, start to finish, in a week’s time. In addition to writing and drawing the pieces that will go inside the zine, we’ll make our own cover image, brainstorm a name for our new production, and bind the completed booklets. At the end of the week, each child will take home their own copy of our collaborative project, as well as the skills and confidence to keep up this fun, crafty practice at home.

Discipline Policy All participants have the right to enjoy a positive, healthy, and safe experience in Country Day's Camp Cavalier. As part of this right, all students are expected to follow and support our expectations of participation, positive attitude, and respectful behavior at all times. Behavior or language perceived by the Summer Director, faculty, and staff to be disrespectful, hurtful, unsafe, or threatening may result in the camper’s suspension or dismissal from the program. This extends to any behavior that undermines our goal to best serve the needs of all our participants. Allergy Policy Sacramento Country Day School values the safety of all of our community members and exercises some common-sense precautions to support students who have specific allergies. Though we are not a nut-free school, we strive to make it safer for children and adults with food allergies to participate in the full range of activities available at Camp Cavalier. The School’s responsibilities: We will educate the Camp Cavalier employees about allergies, signs, and symptoms of allergy and anaphylaxis, and provide training on the use of epinephrine (Epi-Pens and other such devices). Each child with a known allergy will have an Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan in the Camp office. We will educate students and parents about allergies and appropriate precautions. Each employee will be made aware of which children in their care have serious allergies. Children may not share or trade food with each other. We will inform other parents if a student’s allergy is so severe that particular items cannot be brought to Camp. The Family’s Responsibilities: Parents/guardians should provide a complete Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care Plan to the Summer Director/Camp office and inform us if your child’s allergy could be triggered by casual contact with the allergen (e.g. touch or inhalation rather than ingestion). If this is the case, more specific precautions will be implemented to minimize the possibility of contact. Please also provide all proper medication for your child. Families are also encouraged to provide labeled treats to have on hand, as children with known allergies may not eat food provided by others. If needed, treats may be stored in the refrigerator or freezer on campus. Parents/guardians should continue to educate and remind your child to limit his/her foods to those provided by or approved by the family and remind teachers, parents, and, if desired, classmates about food allergies. Smoke Day Policy The following guidelines will be implemented for summer 2022: AQI of 200+: A sudden spike in AQI will be monitored and may not necessarily require closure. However, when AQI reaches 201 and is forecast to remain above 200, we will close campus. When a closure is necessary, remote learning will continue as scheduled for HS classes while LS and MS classes and recreation programs are canceled until further notice. Camp fees will not be refunded for smoke day closures. AQI of 150+: All authorized activities on campus will remain indoors and doors and windows will remain closed with our AC filtration system running. AQI of 135-149: All authorized outdoor activities on campus will be permitted, with the exception of athletics classes which will be moved indoors. Sensitive individuals will be asked to remain indoors. All windows and doors will remain open for ventilation of indoor activities. Photography Policy Country Day reserves the right to use photos from Camp Cavalier for social media accounts, future brochures, and other promotional materials.
