CAMP ENROLMENT UPDATE Green Acres runs MANY amazing camp programs. See 'Our Family of Camps' webpage for more information. Camp is filling up fast, so please note the programs below that have few spaces left: Chipmunks & Beavers (Nursery and JK) have very limited openings left in the month of July. Ball Hockey, at All-Star Sports Camp, is waitlist only in Weeks 3 and 4 and has limited spaces available throughout the summer. The following All-Star Sports Camp programs are almost full in both July and August: Register early to ensure your preferred camp sessions for summer 2010. Please note that all applications are now being accepted on a "first come" basis. We do not want you or your friends to be disappointed as camp spaces are continuing to fill quickly. Camp Green Acres is the only day camp to offer the "No-Risk Camp Refund Policy". After more than 40 years in camping we are so confident in the excellence of our staff, our facilities, our programs and our activities that we know your child will just love our camp. We'll bet your camp fees on it! |

A MESSAGE FROM ROBYN Happy New Year to all our camp families! Every year, at some point in a conversation about where I work and what I do, I get the usual question asking me “So what do you do the rest of the year?” After a long pause, I delve into the many tasks I have to ensre camp is ready for the next season, often to the chagrin of the person who asked the question and expected a short response! So, for those of you who are curious as to what I’ve been up to… I am On top of all the excitement going on here at the Green Acres office, I have been keeping my calendar full and buzzing through my involvement with the Ontario Camps Association and the annual camp conference taking place at the end of this month. As a member of the conference committee I have been involved in general planning of workshops and guest speakers, timing of events and networking with other camp professionals. Our conference line up and workshop schedule is outstanding! Kevin will be leading a seminar on Ropes Course Safety and Kathy will be involved at the conference as a participant seeking out some golden nuggets to bring home and a resource to fellow camping professionals. An exciting end to the conference is a parenting workshop open to the public (yes, that’s you!) by Dr. Wendy Mogel. Tickets are only $20.00 and can be purchase through the Ontario Camps Association offices. Wendy’s presentation should not be missed! You can look forward to our February newsletter to hear a debriefing from Kathy on the conference as well as some new programs that will be launched at camp for summer 2010! |
