Robin Perlmutter Heather Heagle EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Lydia Coy MEMBERSHIP COORDINATOR & BOOKKEEPER ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Helpful Hints Camp has so much to offer! Did you know that: summer camp is for everyone? campers learn social skills that help them live harmoniously with an eclectic group of people and that many of those people will become life-long friends. summer camp is a place which teaches so many new skills and provides opportunities for so many new experiences. summer camp fosters a love and appreciation for the natural world. your child will have quality supervision and guidance throughout the summer at camp. What do YOU want your camper to gain from a summer camp experience? How do you provide the best possible choices for your camper? Read the following questions and suggestions; then contact the camps you feel best suit you and your camper(s). CHOOSING A CAMP STEP ONE: Why am I looking for a camp program? A. Make friends B. Have fun in a safe and nurturing environment C. Learn new skills such as, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, ropes, horseback riding, tripping, copper enameling, ceramics, and so much more D. Continue to learn life skills E. Be among peers F. Provide a break G. Affordable substitute for daycare or a caregiver H. Financial subsidy I. Someone qualified will look after my camper J. I want my children to go together as siblings K. I want my child with special needs to attend a camp with inclusionary programs L. I want my child to attend a specific special needs camp If you circled ‘H’... STEP TWO: You probably want to ensure that you are looking for a camp with a subsidy program or you can apply to the list of organizations offering financial assistance. Financial assistance applications should be submitted early in the January or February due to the number of people applying and limited funds. Most camps offering financial aid may still require you to pay a portion of the fees. What kind of program do I want for my camper? If you circled ‘K’... You’re looking for an inclusionary program. We recommend you look for an inclusionary program with the percentage of children with special needs being less than 10%. Consider whether it matters to you if the campers with special needs all have a specific challenge or not. A DAY CAMP PROGRAM: Select a day camp program if: you would like to connect with your camper each morning and evening. a camper has sleeping issues. you administer required medications throughout the day. you’d like a similar structure or routine to a school day or daycare. you’d like be closer to urban centres. cost is an issue - day camp programs are usually less expensive. Just by answering the questions… you’re in good shape! This is what most camps will be able to offer your camper. Focus your search based upon secondary choice selection items such as schedule, location, hours of program, activities and price. 4 ONTARIO CAMPS ASSOCIATION | CAMPS GUIDE 2012 VISIT US ONLINE AT: www.ontariocamps.ca HELPFUL HINTS What does the camp director/staff want campers to take away with them at the end of their camping experience? The camp directors’ answer to this question will reveal the overall values and philosophies of the camp. The camp director should be able to talk freely and passionately about such things. What is the camp staff-to-camper ratio? AN OVERNIGHT OR RESIDENTIAL CAMP PROGRAM Select an overnight camp program to: offer camper(s) an opportunity to apply more life skills independently. expose camper(s) to new environments, communities and ways of interacting. expose camper(s) to a vast array of programming and waterfront experiences. offer camper(s) an away-from-home experience. get a longer re-charge period - professionally referred to as ‘parental respite’. Please Note: Overnight camps are often more expensive than a day camp program, but not always more expensive than specialized special needs day or overnight programming. What programs does the camp offer? Are you looking for a traditional and varied camp program, or a camp where campers hone a particular set of skills/talents? Ask questions about the amount of time spent on each activity in order to determine whether it suits your camper. How do campers choose their programs at camp? Asking for a description of a “typical day at camp” will give you a good idea of the campers’ schedule, and will help you determine whether or not the campers’ time is being spent productively, actively, and enjoyably. You can also use this information to prepare your child for their time at camp. What training has been completed by the camp staff ? All camps provide training on leadership, programs, child development, problem solving, confidentiality and reporting, and camper safety. Find out the length of training, educational workshops and certificates required by your camp by contacting the camp director. This ratio indicates the overall level of supervision that the camp can provide your camper. It is a good idea to also inquire about the number of campers under one counsellor’s care, as this may be a different ratio. According to OCA Standards, counsellor:camper ratios should be no larger than 1:6 for children under 5 years of age, or 1:10 for children ages 6 and over. What is the camp director’s background and what are his or her qualifications? What safety measures does the camp take for programs such as, swimming, boating, snorkeling, high ropes, canoeing, kayaking, etc? What is the camp’s staff return rate? This question addresses supervision and the quality of staff. You should ask about the ages and qualifications of the staff, the camp’s protocols for supervision and risk-management (e.g. buddy systems, cabin checks), and the guidelines set for campers (e.g. boundaries, water safety). What kind of health care facility and staff is available to campers? Health care should be of the utmost importance at any camp. The answer to this question should give you, the parent/ guardian, confidence that the camp is equipped (on-site) or has a strategy in place to ensure quick and competent emergency response and everyday wellness. How do the camp and staff deal with issues like homesickness, bullying and campers with special needs? Many camps have written resources and policies in places concerning these issues. Staff should be trained in such areas as age-appropriate needs, behaviour management, methods of inclusion, and skill development. VISIT US ONLINE AT: www.ontariocamps.ca The camp director’s experience, education, character, and overall level of maturity will determine her/his ability to run the camp safely, smoothly, and interact appropriately with staff and campers. The camp director is the person ultimately responsible for the care of your camper. A high rate of staff returning to a camp indicates good staff supervision, dedication to camp programs, and a high level of tradition. Happy staff makes for happy campers. High staff return may also point to sound training, including team building and professional development. Questions to ask experienced campers and parents. It is often helpful to speak to campers’ parents and campers to get their opinions of the camp you are considering. At your request, a camp director should be able to connect you with several current camp families. Often children have different questions to ask about camp. We encourage you and your camper to ask the following questions: 1. Did you like camp? 2. What were the counsellors like? 3. What kinds of things did you do at camp? 4. What were the other kids like? 5. Where did you live while you were at camp? 6. Did you like the food? 7. Are you going back to camp this summer? It is important to ask if you can visit the camp. Often seeing the camp, the living accommodations, the activity areas, and meeting some of the staff will give you and your camper a solid understanding of what to expect from a camp experience. 2012 CAMPS GUIDE | ONTARIO CAMPS ASSOCIATION 5 HELPFUL HINTS and staff can use this album to communicate. Some campers may do well if you get the actual photos from the camp ahead of time. A FAMILY CAMP PROGRAM Choose a family camp program when: the whole family has fun together! you’d like age-appropriate programming for various age groups. Family camps offer programming for different age groups, while you have your own programs or personal time. you’d like the opportunity to connect with other parents or caregivers with whom you can exchange ideas and share experiences. you prefer to remain the caregiver at all times. Create laminated charts with words and Velcro to help the camper and staff with the steps or schedule of the day for instruction (e.g. first ‘change room’ then ‘swim’). Some campers will comprehend a more complicated laminated page with multiple instructions. Sometimes, it is difficult to leave your child in a camp program. Say your good-bye and then leave regardless of what’s going on unless of course the camp requests that you stay. The camp should call you if your child’s behaviour is beyond their capacity. CAMPS WORKING TOWARDS INCLUSION FOR CAMPERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Enjoy your time while your child(ren) are at camp so your batteries are recharged for when they return home. Questions to ask the camp: 1. What is the percentage of children with special needs within the camp population? True integration should be around 10% of the population. 2. Is my child fully included into a cabin/ tent/group or are they assimilated into the general camp program? 3. How does the camp plan on supporting a child with my camper’s needs? 4. What training do staff receive who are working directly with my child? How old are they? Ontario Camps Association Standards recommends a minimum of 16 years of age for a day camp staff member and 17 years of age for a residential camp staff member. 5. How are transitions between programs managed? Does each new camp session have brand new campers or do campers register for 2-week sessions throughout the summer with some staying all eight weeks? 6. For campers who require additional strategies such as visual reminders/ PEC’s will these be available or will the family have to provide them? 7. How often do the staff communicate with parents and how is this managed (e.g. communication book)? SPECIALIZED CAMPS STEP THREE: Will the camp be able to support my camper and his or her needs? The final questions: 1. How much time do I have to get the camper to camp? A specialized camp probably is the best option for a child who requires a lot of additional care. Think of it this way, if your child requires one-to-one support to be successful at school, they probably will need one-to-one care to be successful at camp! Camp is a very social setting and campers may need even more support to get the most out of their camp experience. Camps will work hard to ensure that the option of extra support can be provided and/or programs and staffing are tailored to your camper’s needs. Camps may have buses to get campers back and forth, others can connect you to cab companies that specialize in transporting children or you may choose to drive your child to camp. Choosing a camp just because it’s the closest to you, isn’t always the best choice if you’re looking for camp staff with specialized programming or staff with specific training and experience. These camps offer activities/programs within an environment specifically designed for children with particular challenges. Examples of these programs are day camps that Autism Ontario Chapters operate or residential camps that Easter Seals Ontario operates. Additional Suggestions for Campers With Special Needs Ensure your camper tours the facility ahead of time and that you have some adjustment time during the tour. This will let you know areas of the facility which may be of concern. If your camper is non-verbal or below typical verbal skills, send your camper with a small plastic photo album with photos of common items that he/she will use at camp (e.g. swim area, toilets, showers, change room, dining hall, lunch shelter, playground). The camper 6 ONTARIO CAMPS ASSOCIATION | CAMPS GUIDE 2012 2. When do I want my camper to go to camp? It may be difficult to get your exact dates. Register early and be flexible with your dates especially if you want a specific program. 3. Does the camp have a system to transport campers to and from camp? If the camp offers transportation, it should provide detailed information about pick-up and drop-off points, costs, and the quality and amount of supervision. 4. How much am I willing to pay? Camps will range from $0 to $1,000.00 plus per week. Research your camp(s) of choice online at www.ontariocamps.ca. Call the camp for information and meetings, before you register so that you can make an informed decision. VISIT US ONLINE AT: www.ontariocamps.ca HELPFUL HINTS Some camps charge additional fees for one-on-one worker fee for campers with special needs and for incidentals. If you are looking for financial assistance, please ask if it is available! If the camp itself doesn’t offer assistance, please refer to the Ontario Camps Association website www.ontariocamps.ca for funding options or call the office at 416-485-0425. CONGRATULATIONS! You’re ready to search for a program that meets your campers’ needs. FINAL CHECKLIST Remember that you and the camp are working towards a successful camp experience. When reviewing this checklist, you may want to ask yourself: “Have I addressed the following items with the camp or have they discussed these things with me?” What makes my camper happy? What makes me happy with the camp experience? Goals of camp experience Communicating with my camper and camp staff Behaviour management/de-escalation General camp information Transportation Emergency contacts What to bring? When visiting camp, what not to bring? Coming with a friend? Sibling? Concerns Will my child be outdoors or indoors all day? Fees, taxes, payment, subsidy Health care facilities and professionals on site Wellness Medication/medication dispensing Severe allergy management plan Sun safety Health care management Dietary preferences/allergies/concerns Personal support (eating bathing, bathroom, etc.) Time alone Bringing personal toys, electronics, etc. Program expulsion. What will make my camper be removed from the camp program? Program withdrawal. What contractual responsibilities and/or processes are in place should my camper be removed from the program by the camp or by me? Program Activity Success Suggestions Review the program activities outlined in your camp’s brochure and consider if any activity may require more or less support than usual for your camper due to his or her individual needs. Non-Program Activity Success Suggestions Financial Funding for Campers with Special Needs Consider the times in-between structured programming including changing, walking to the other programs, quiet times, bed time, meal times, and other unstructured times. Consider if any of these activities may require more or less support than usual for your camper due to their individual needs. FUNDING OPTIONS FOR SUMMER CAMPS Each camp lists whether or not they offer subsidies, and will outline in their brochures and on their websites the specific nature of their subsides.
