Hornby Island Kids/Youth Camp! - Family Network for Deaf Children

Transcription

2014
We have several awesome programs planned for a variety of age groups. Our programs all
are signing programs with many d/Deaf mentors so that we may provide a rich language
and social experience for deaf and hard of hearing children and youth. In addition, some of
our programs are open to hearing siblings, as well as CODA’s (children of deaf adults) that
use sign language. If your child or youth is hard of hearing and requires an English voice
interpreter, please let us know. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please
contact us. (Contact information on bottom of brochure)
Hornby Island Kids/Youth Camp!
Sunday July 6 to Thursday July 10
For: deaf & hard of hearing children/youth, ages 9-16
WEEK #1
Hornby Island Youth Overnight Camp is back by popular demand! The camp is operated by the
Tribune Bay Outdoor Education Society and Deaf Youth Today staff. Campers will participate in
a variety of activities including: kayaking, beach combing, hiking, climbing, rappelling, high and
low ropes, group games, sports, drama/skits, campfire fun, deaf-friendly activities and interactive
workshops. Parents don’t need to worry because every moment of the day is accounted for
and supervised! We have a very high staff to camper ratio. This is a fun, safe and supervised
environment! Cost includes: accommodation, meals, all activities and transportation to and from
Hornby Island with DYT Staff. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with more
details. Late registrations (received after June 15th) can’t be guaranteed a spot, but will be assessed
and accepted according to the individual needs of the camper and our staffing levels. For more
information, contact Terry & Andrea Maloney, DYT Hornby Island Coordinators: [email protected]
Note: This camp is highly subsidized and we only charge $150.00 to make this affordable (the real
cost for this camp would be approximately $1,200.00 per camper). Register early as this is our most
popular program and it fills up quickly!

Registration information and General Questions
How to Register? Go to our website: www.fndc.ca Registration online will be open after May 10th. We encourage everyone to
register on line, although you may download the registration forms and register by mail. The prices listed in this brochure are
for online registrations only. If you wish to download the forms and register your child/ren manually (by mail, fax or phone),
DYT will need to charge a $20.00 fee for administrative costs associated with manual registration.
Program Fees: All our program fees are highly subsidized already, but if the program fees are a financial burden on your
family, please let us know. We do, however, ask that you pay a portion of the fee as a commitment to us that your child will
attend because we hire our staff based on our registration numbers.
Confirmation email and what to bring to programs? Once registered online, you will receive a computer-generated
confirmation. You will also receive an email closer to each weekly program start date outlining the program schedule, drop off/
pick up times, program locations and details of what to bring.
Out of Province Registrations: Campers must have a BC address (except under exceptional circumstances). BC deaf & hard
of hearing children take priority in all our programs, but if our registration roster isn’t full, we may be able to open up a space to
an out of province camper. Additional fees may be charged to reflect the real program costs (not the subsidized rates). Please
contact us to discuss further.
Very Complex Needs: Our camps are designed to enhance language development and provide social opportunities for deaf
and hard of hearing children & youth with a wide range of abilities and needs. Those with chronic mental disorders/psychoses,
emotional disorders, or individuals whose behaviour could endanger themselves or other participants may not be suitable for
the program. Additionally, Deaf Youth Today doesn’t have the expertise or ability to support medically fragile individuals. Camper
applications and camper behaviour is reviewed and assessed throughout each summer season. The DYT program reserves the
right to refuse a camper’s application. If you have questions about your child’s eligibility, please contact us.
One-to-One Workers: The DYT program has a high staff to camper ratio (generally 3 campers to 1 staff). Should a camper’s
needs require one-to-one support, we would like to recommend that the families provide a one-to-one worker or assist with
finances for DYT to hire a one-to-one worker. There are outside funding sources and we encourage you to work with us in
accessing some of those funds. DYT sometimes receives donations, and we will work with you to try to find funding.
Need More Information? Our website has a DYT Summer 2014 INFO & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section that will
answer many of your questions.
