Kitchissippi Camps 2012

Kitchissippi times February 9, 2012 • Page 9ADVERTISING FEATURE

Camp is the most amazing place! Not only is it the most beautiful place that I’ve ever been, but it

also has nature and animals that will blow your mind! I have had some of my best adventures at camp and have met some people who I’m sure will be my life-long friends. Camp can make you nervous at times, but with loving friends and counsel-lors around you, your fears will disappear. And with that little fear of doing new things gone, you can do anything! Like archery, swim-ming, geocaching, biking, ropes, drama and sports, just to name a few. Camp has a variety of other activities that you do with your cabin mates too. There are also a few “special” challenges like the tripping challenge! There are so many things to do at camp that it’s impossible to tell you about them all. But out of it all, I would have to say that the best part of camp is all of the caring and understanding friends that you’ll meet. By the end of camp, they will become not only your friends but also your family.

Dovercourt ad for Summer Camp section in KT, Feb. 20121/2 page colour ad

Kitchissippi Kids love camp. Besides great memories, every kid benefits in multiple ways from summer camp. “Not only do camps provide a fun opportunity to develop a sense of independence but they also allow children to experience things they might not otherwise get a chance to enjoy, such as new sports or skills,” says Jeff Brown, a long-time board member of the Ontario Camping Associ-ation who now serves as one of the organization’s volun-teer Standards Visitors. “For campers of all ages, we can’t say enough about kids needing to decompress from com-puters and social media. Parents should ensure their kids have an oppor-tunity to get outside and experience nature to gain an awareness and apprecia-tion of what is around us, and camp is a great way to make that happen!”

Sure to appeal to inquisitive, adven-turesome kids, the Diefenbunker’s Spy Camp offers children aged 7 to 12 the chance to unleash their inner spy. Campers learn about such exciting things as the art of espionage, how to develop disguises, make and break codes and so much more. Small camp sizes and a variety of age-appropriate programming help make the Diefenbunker a very popular summer camp destination.

Dovercourt Recreation Centre offers the city’s widest selection of day camps for kids of all ages, each run by caring, enthusiastic and well-trained leaders. Commit-

ted to keeping their programming fresh and up to date, Dovercourt is not only offering many

of its most popular camps from previ-ous years, but also several new

camps this year such as Combat Mix, Cheerleading, Circus

Camp with the Cowguys, Junior Lifeguard and Eco-Zookeeper Camp in part-nership with Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo.

Does your child have an interest in acting? Check out Salamander The-

atre’s summer camp pro-grams, where kids learn

and develop with the help of professional actors. Broad-

way Bound allows campers to focus on singing, dancing and

acting while Theatricks introduces kids to a world of action, adventure

and drama techniques. Shakespeare camps allow actors with some experience to stretch their skills to new levels with daily music and sword play along with text, body and voice work. Salamander Theatre’s camps’ help kids truly unplug and remember the mean-ing of play.

There’s always something exciting going on when it comes to JCC of Ottawa Summer Camps. Programs are open to all children, from tots to teens, and include great theme camps, a travelling sports camp that goes on a different active field trip every day and week-long speciality camps including the brand new Radical Reactions – Chemistry & Crime, Powered Up Lego Camp and Photography camp, to name but a few.

What better way to get kids moving in the summer than at Capital City Dance? Offering friendly, talented instructors in a safe and comfortable setting, campers aged 4 - 12 will be exposed to numerous dance styles, including jazz, tap, ballet and hip hop, along with musical theatre workshops and crafts. Everyone can dance – let Capital City Dance show you how!

At the Ottawa School of Art’s summer camps, children aged 6 to 15 will embark on an exciting hands-on exploration of a variety of artistic mediums, themes and styles. Offered at both the OSA’s downtown and Orleans studios, the camps provide all the art supplies needed and captivating lessons from experienced instructors. Established in 1879, the OSA’s mission has always been to deliver top-quality arts education,

making it the ideal summer camp choice for both budding young artists and kids who are eager to try something new.

Campers at the Ottawa Tennis & Lawn Bowling Club enjoy fun tennis and sports programming, thanks to the club’s long-standing focus on providing a quality summer camp experience in the heart of Ottawa. Campers develop new friend-ships and skills while creating memories to last a lifetime. Their experienced, enthusiastic camp staff are well-rounded

Q+AWhat other activities are included in a summer program at 4Cats besides studio work? Summer Camps at 4Cats give kids the chance to learn about many different art styles and medi-ums. Artists attending 4Cats Arts Studio Summer Camps will have the chance to explore many artistic mediums including painting, drawing, the pottery wheel, clay sculpture, polymer clay sculpture, papier maché and more!

I want my child to swim as much as possible during the summer. Will he have the opportuni-ty at ottawa’s JCC summer Camps?Yes! We place a high priority on learning and fun in the pool, so all our day camps and our travelling sports camp include Lifesaving Society instructional swim lessons at no extra cost. In addition, all camp-ers, including those attending specialty camps, enjoy a daily recreational swim in the SJCC’s full-sized outdoor pool.

Q+AWhat does my child need to wear to a Chad Wolfe studio summer dance camp? Dancers should be able to move comfortably. We recommend either form fitting athletic wear or a bodysuit. Recommended footwear includes: both hard and soft soled shoes, such as tap shoes or Irish hard shoes, jazz shoes, dance sneakers, or ghillies. Any hard soled dress shoes and indoor running shoes are also acceptable.

Will my child spend all his time indoors at the Diefenbunker’s spy Camp? In addition to enjoying the many cool spaces in our unique indoor facility, every day our campers enjoy some structured playtime outdoors, featuring supervised spy-themed games.

you have hundreds of kids in Dovercourt’s camps each week. how do you keep them safe? We select our camp staff with great care and provide them with detailed training to ensure they are committed to making camp a safe, positive, and fun experience for all campers. Training includes Standard First Aid, CPR, and High Five: Principles of Healthy Child Development. At Dovercourt, we are very proud of our excellent repu-tation but remain conscious of the need to focus every day on safety and making sure all children feel welcomed. We also work as a team to ensure our risk management procedures are regularly reviewed and refreshed; it’s just one aspect of the rigorous planning and organization that go into delivering a top quality camp experience.

It’s a summer filled with discoveries that can last a lifetime. These popular camps are limited in size so registering early is a good idea.

Q+A




Will my child have a better time at Camp otonabee if they register with a friend?Some campers feel more comfort-able participating with a friend but for many of our campers, camp is a place to make strong new friend-ships. We strive to make our camp a place of belonging where kids can grow and develop by learning new skills in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.

What makes the Greta leeming studio of Dance’s summer camps so appealing? Children love to dance. They bring that joy to our camp every day. During the camp they make new friends, learn new dance moves and at the end of each week per-form for the parents. We know our campers are having a lot of fun because many choose to return year after year. For our fif-tieth anniversary, our summer camp dancers will get to use our brightly lit, newly built, profes-sional studio. They’ll love it!



For 27 years, the National Tennis School has run not only one of the largest tennis programs in Canada but also provided summers full of adventures offered at a variety of convenient locations across the region.

The sport of tennis is a lifelong passion for many and summer camp is an ideal way to get started or improve one’s game. The Elmdale Tennis Club offers weekly half and full-day tennis camps throughout the summer at its well-appointed facility, located in the heart of Kitchissippi. With the help of tennis pros and enthusiastic counsellors, kids aged 8 – 14 will learn and practice all aspects of tennis through fun games, drills and match play. Campers will also enjoy a variety of other sports, games and great camp adventures.

Whether you opt for day or overnight camp, for a week or a month, many programs fill up quickly so it’s worth it to start looking at options as soon as possible with your chil-dren to ensure they enjoy an exciting, fun-filled and memorable summer.

Q+AWill my child do more than just play tennis at the ottawa Ten-nis & lawn Bowling Club camp? A: Yes! Our camps offer 3 hours of tennis instruction every day plus swimming in our large onsite pool, beach volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, and many other activities. Camp-ers also receive a delicious lunch each day in our clubhouse Café.

Is it safe for children to be around all the animals at the Canada agriculture Museum’s camps?Definitely! Although ours is a working farm, our barns and fields have been designed with human visitors’ safety in mind. Also, our camps enjoy a minimum 1:8 ratio of staff to campers so children are always well-supervised.

What are the benefits of send-ing my child to a gymnastics camp?Not only are camps at the Otta-wa Gymnastics Centre a great way to get kids more active, we also find that our campers become more confident as they learn new techniques in our gym. Our coaches work very hard to maintain a positive, supportive environment and ensure that all campers feel a sense of accom-plishment at the end of each day.
