Introduction

This proposal presents a request for funding from the West Vancouver Recreation Commission to assist students in the Job Preparation Program at west Vancouver Community College to operate a summer day camp for school children, aged 8 to 12. Included in the proposal is a discussion of four factors related to the development of the summer day camp: Scope of the Project, Day Camp Activities, Estimated Cost and Estimated revenue. If approved, the student worker involved in the project will complete preparations for the day camp by June 20 and run the day camp on weekdays from July 1 to August 31, 2003.

Scope of the Project

The proposal day camp will assist parents in the West Vancouver area who need supervised care for their school-age children during the summer months, the goal of the project is to provide school children with cafe, creative and fun activities from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the weekdays throughout the summer months. In addition, the project will provide useful and challenging summer employment for five students from West Vancouver community college.

Description of Need

At present, no supervised summer day camp operates in the West Vancouver area to provide local parents with reasonably priced care for their school-aged children. Maarianne Sparks, President of the Parents advisory council for the Clarke road : Elementary School, summarizes the situation: “ A drop-in day camp in our area would give our children a safe and healthy summer experience, while combating the recruitment efforts of local youth gangs.”

Day Camp Activities

Tom Allenson and Marla Weinstein, two of the students involved in the project, have developed schedule of activities in consultation with Dr, Roy Devaux, an instructor in the Job Preparation Program at West Vancouver Community College[1]

    Author, Harriet Davids, of “The Extended School Day” believes all elementary schools should adopt an extended school day policy. Davids main ideas focus on the safety of the children, whether it be in the care of a nanny or home alone, safety is the number one priority. Davids not only states that an extended school day will be beneficial to the parents and the students, but also the teachers and staff involved in the after school programs. In an affective essay there are seven essential elements that must be followed to skillfully create a forceful essay. Unfortunately, Davids lacks many of these elements in the entitled essay, “The Extended School Day”.…

I planned to set aside work and ACT Prep for two weeks to volunteer…

    One voluntary setting in my area, which provides care and education for children, is Brunswick Youth Club. The club provides evening activities for children Monday to Friday term time and through school holidays. The club also offers holiday schemes where children have the opportunity to go on trips to leisure centres, theatre shows and the cinema, and also weekend trips to adventure sites. Brunswick Youth Club helps parents who need extra money by enabling them to work longer hours (after school hours and during the school holidays) with no membership fee. It also gives children a chance to interact with other children, learn new skills, get creative and even join a sports team. Brunswick helps children to gain confidence in many areas such as working independently and within a team, communicating and building relationships with others. The club helps children to learn about key skills such as time keeping, organisation and independence. ‘The Brunswick Club is a large well-equipped centre where young people can come and enjoy a variety of leisure time activities in a comfortable, safe and friendly environment’ – The Brunswick Club (2008).…

    The American Camp Association's reports show that 78 percent of their campers came from high and middle income families. Slate magazine claims that the average cost of a day camp is 271 dollars per week; with summer lasting for two months, this can eventually add up to a couple thousand dollars. Clearly, for lower income families camp can be viewed as a extraneous expense that is simply not affordable. Therefore, their children do not receive the wonderful opportunities that the wealthy children receive. Children from wealthy backgrounds are more likely to be successful simply because their wealth allows them to receive more…

    I was a camp counselor at Camp Wabikon ‒ a co-ed overnight summer camp located in Temagami, Ontario for children who are 6-15 years of age. Along with teaching Red Cross swimming and lifesaving and Tennis, I was my cabin's 'parent' for six weeks. Therefore, I was present with the children at all times. In essence, I was the leader of my cabin's the physical, social and mental development. The main things I learned were the importance of time management and organization , as I had to plan lessons for swimming and Tennis while taking care of my cabin; conflict resolution between campers; and the ability to plan and foresee events (I had to plan camp-wide events and activities for all campers).…

    Child-Care In Ontario

    In Canada, regulated child care and most other early childhood services - like health, social services, elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education - are under provincial jurisdiction. Each of Canada 's 12 (and with the development of Nunavut in 1999 - 13) jurisdictions has a program of regulated child care (including nursery schools) that legislates requirements for operation of services, defines the operation of services, and provides some funding arrangements. Provincial/territorial governments (with the exception of Prince Edward Island) also provide separate public kindergartens under Ministries of Education; the federal government has historically had no involvement - no funding or policy role - in elementary or secondary education. Other early childhood services like Aboriginal Head Start and Community Action Program for Children are under the aegis of, and funded by, the federal government. The range and quality of services - and families ' accessibility to them - delivered through this potpourri of early childhood care and education services varies enormously across…

    Summer is a season where individuals can experience activities like camping, hiking, swimming, traveling, etc. However it’s difficult for students to come across these events if there is school all year long. With one month in the summer, there is close to nothing that can be accomplished. A mom of five says, “Growing pains and lessons are learned through summer jobs, programs and freedom with friends” (Butler 1). Kids are only kids till they turn 18. Adolescents need their own free time to explore beyond education since, “A child’s life is not just school” (1). In school, teachers always mention “the real world”, and teens today often apply for summer jobs. Taking their summer away will only take away their chance to experience this “real world” they occasionally talk about. When a student is constantly being blocked by school from experiencing hardships, freedom, independence, or responsibilities, they won’t get the chance to familiarize with the rest of the…

    I have been made aware of your plan to build a beneficial facility for young people in Chino Hills. Please read the following letter that will explain to you that building a youth activity center would be most beneficial to our wonderful city. Many may say that no one would come to the James Larson Youth Activity Center because of its membership fees, but any child who cannot afford the fee because financial problems in their family can submit their information and will be able to attend the facility. All the membership fees collected from the facility will go towards the facility itself, and to pay for certified workers. A few reasons the youth activity center should be built are, the center will be a great place for students to get tutored afterschool, in the long run, improving their state-standardized testing scores, building the James Larson Youth Activity center will also be a great place for youth to get involved in their community, volunteering all around the Chino/Chino Hills area, and finally, the James Larson Youth Activity Center will have many facilities and a variety of activities for youth to participate in, preventing them otherwise spending their time elsewhere, getting into trouble.…
