CAMP FACILITIES: At 200 feet, the Oliver Hazard Perry is the first ocean-going full-rigged ship to be built in the U.S. in over 100 years. It is the largest civilian sail training vessel in America. She has berths for 49 people overnight, and with 17 crew, a low camper to crew ratio creates a safe and fun environment. The ship is equipped with a steel hull, 3 masts, with square sails on all three masts, 20 sails totaling 14,000 square feet, and 7 miles of rope and wire. The engines run on a bio-diesel blend, and the ship is equipped with a modern galley (on-board kitchen), central air, an on-deck science lab, a library and wheel-chair accessibility above and below decks.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: With 17 professional crew and a capacity for 30-34 campers, our program promotes a dynamic and safe learning environment with a 2:1 ratio of campers to instructors. Campers will feel the thrill of steering a 500-ton ship, and learn to work the yards and sails while exploring the beautiful coasts of New England. They will learn safety at sea and perform important safety drills while acquiring skills in navigation, seamanship, sail handling, knots, and the language of the boat. Campers will explore the underwater world through snorkeling. They will understand wind, waves, tides and the ecology of sandy and rocky seashores. Sunsets, sunrises and the night sky will serve as the backdrop for this incredible experience, in addition to marine phosphorescence, dolphins and whales. Teamwork is an integral part of success onboard the boat, and in addition to learning about themselves, and achieving things they never imagined, they will make friendships to last a lifetime.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: In addition to witnessing the natural magic of the ocean and its inhabitants, each student crew will make friendships to last a lifetime. Campers will take responsibility for themselves and their fellow shipmates, learning to work as a team with others as they hoist and brace the yards on the ship's 130-foot tall rig and apply acquired navigational skills to guide the ship's course on a voyage of discovery.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: As a non-profit organization we are committed to making this amazing experience available to everyone. Because we are new, an endowment for scholarships is still being developed, however the first 10 sign ups will receive a 10% discount! Please contact us for group discounts. Scholarships will be made available in the near future.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Perry will sail year-round, offering experiences for high school and college age students, as well as adult sail-training and team building. The ship will spend the Summers in New England and the Winters in Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Our Mission:

Sailing School Vessel Oliver Hazard Perry is Rhode Island’s official sailing education vessel and flagship non-profit maritime campus, offering experience-based, core learning opportunities to a diverse student population, including those with disabilities, aboard a magnificent 196-foot, three-masted, square-rigged tall ship.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa's mission is to provide children, ages 7-16, with the opportunity to experience the outdoors, learn new skills and develop life-long friendships while enhancing Jewish values, traditions, affiliation and community. Since 1936, Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa has excelled in the delivery of traditional camping programs, athletics as well as the arts, enabling children to expand their horizons in a fun, safe and nurturing environment without regard to their community affiliation, denomination or financial means.

Since its founding, Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa has remained committed to ensuring that all Jewish children, no matter what their financial situation might be, have the opportunity to experience the joy and wonder of attending CBB of Ottawa.

Your child's happiness and well-being are our primary considerations at CBB of Ottawa. With that in mind, we provide a safe, nurturing environment where each child can participate, learn and achieve at his/her own pace. We believe that through recreational group activities children learn to work and play cooperatively. Under the supervision and care of our highly qualified staff, our campers not only develop a broad range of personal, athletic, artistic and other skills, but also are encouraged to take on tasks, which will enable them to become more responsible and self-confident.

At CBB of Ottawa our goal is to offer a summer "home away from home" where children can learn about and take pride in their Jewish culture, community and heritage including the unbreakable bond with the State of Israel. It is a place where children can grow both individually and as a group. It is a place where important socializing skills are developed and where lifelong friendships are formed. It is a place where connection to the Jewish community can become part of a child's life forever. We are confident that a summer experience at Camp B'nai Brith of Ottawa will leave your child with a positive feeling of himself/herself, others and the surrounding environment.

It is a camp unlike any other where friendships are forged and tested, and leadership skills are taught and put to the test.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): July 29 - August 3, 2018

This is a must for families and fills up fast so don’t delay in registering! This is a week where the staff spoils you and your family so that you can just spend time being family with no distractions. Skills and activities are orientated around the entire family. Some evening with be 'parents only', where babysitting is provided and you can relax in the setting of camp.

Our speakers focus on you as a family and how to live in better community with one another. The best part of family camp? No cooking and no dishes!!

Things to do at family camp: swimming, downhill water-slide, 25 foot water trampoline, water skiing, wake-boarding, outdoor education, parents only coffee shop (to die for), wide games, craft making, late night pontoon boat cruises, tubing, night games, hanging out with friends and making new ones, encounter with God time, and not doing dishes.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The Quest is a year round rental facility. From September 1st through to the end of May we host church groups, school groups, band camps, pastors retreats, health regions and youth groups. During the winter we have tons of fun on the outdoor skating rink playing hockey or even curling. We also have ice fishing and snow carving as well as warm fires and even out door hot tubs for the especially brave.

OTHER CAMP INFO: A question that is at the root of our ministry is - Why? Why do we do it? Why do we come back year after year? Why do we believe in camping as a viable ministry in the life of the church and the denomination?

The answer is really simple. We do it to be a place where children are cared for, where they are nourished and loved with the patience and tenderness of Jesus. We are a place that has a passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ - where the POWER of that gospel is evident, where it is spoken about, where it is seen and cherished. The POWER to lift up the fallen and the hurt. The POWER to heal the sick and the sick in spirit, to heal hearts that have been broken.

The POWER to restore dreams that have been shattered by life, or even death. The POWER to change lives for the better, to transform people into the image of Jesus Christ. The POWER to give hope to those who have no hope. Because we want to be a place where adults and children are taught real Bible based skills for living a life of abundance, where children are taught to obey their parents, to respect their elders and to honor God because this is His order of design. We aim to be a place where young people are shown how to honor God with everything they have.

A place where teenagers are given opportunities to shine. To share their love of God with children and their love of children with God. We are a place where young leaders are given responsibilities, where they are allowed to make mistakes and gently and lovingly shown the right way. We are a place where the Spirit of God is almost tangible, where God’s presence can be felt and seen in the faces of all those who love him.

We are a place where families as a whole can come and be ministered to. Where they can enjoy God’s creation, hear the Word of God and just be cared for. We are a place where the Truth is taught about God with compassion, even when it is uncomfortable or inconvenient. And lastly; The Quest is not simply about FUN, although fun is a bi-product. It is not simply about baby-sitting kids for a week or two in the summer. It is not about learning to ski, or wake board, or learning to shoot an arrow straight. It’s not simply about learning about plants and animals, water safety, canoeing, wall climbing or drama or gaining self confidence or anything else you will find at a great summer camp.

It is all these things and more, it is about drawing everyone who comes through our gates at least one step closer to Jesus Christ.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:

CAMP FACILITIES: Day Camps operate at independent schools; indoor-outdoor programming, safe accredited, inspected and well-supervised spaces. OVERNIGHT CAMP 2022 is 7 day / 6 night traditional camp experience in the beautiful Niagara Peninsula region of Ontario; Our Camp Website Link: www.debatecamp.com

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Debate Camp creates a learning experience that is safe, welcoming, fun, and intellectually-engaging. Our program is meant to appeal to all ability levels, from the reluctant speaker to the already-accomplished debater.

We believe that learning is best served by engaging students in an academic experience, while at the same time ensuring they feel empowered to take risks.

We believe that "camp" creates a novel and secure learning environment in which campers feel safe to try new skills, think on their feet, see the opposing view, and to trust their teammates. Campers repeatedly inform us of how successful their academic experiences are - after Debate Camp, largely because they felt emboldened and confident in their ability to engage in discourse on subjects they felt unsure about only weeks previous. " I learned so much" is the most consistent feedback we get.

We feel that debating is not an elite skill for competition purposes only. Nor is it something that should be oversold / overcharged for the purpose of enhancing the college application process. We believe that to have advocacy skills, an ability with rhetoric, an ability to effectively organize one's thoughts, an ability to listen and be heard and to honour one's opponents with effective points and counter-points, are skills that all kids should develop.

As such, we annually review our fee scale to ensure we remain within reach of as many families as possible. We continue to work on funding and recruitment structures so that we may continue to remove barriers to enrichment education.

Moreover, we remain about training in the area of verbal advocacy; to stand, speak and be heard - an area requiring continued attention at a time when digital means provide so many alternatives to this. In the generation of the smart phone, of potentially less human-to-human conversation over substantial matters, what we teach is even more coveted...

Education has forever operated on a belief in the skills, ability and good intention of the future generation. Debate Camp is honoured to be invested in this work.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Through fun and friendships, our camp programs emphasize the development of self-esteem, physical and interpersonal skills, as well as spiritual values.

We take time every day to spend time learning about God, in chapel and cabin reflections. Our activities start with a Bible verse/challenge, which shows that the Bible is relevant in daily life.

Cabins consist of 7-10 campers of similar age, with a cabin leader and possibly a leader in training.

Main camp is for campers ages 9-13.

Junior campers ages 9-10 travel to each activity in cabin groups, and get to try most things once. Horseback riding they do for 1 hour, 4 days a week. We have a cabin leader in every cabin, and try to have a leader in training in most cabins for these weeks. The cabin leaders and LITs travel with their cabins and instruct activities.

Intermediate campers ages 11-13 get to choose 4 activities to do throughout the week. They get put into activities at random, and get to know campers and staff from other cabins. Cabin leaders and LITs get put into 3 activities that they either help with or teach, and get one off.

Conestoga campers ages 13-17 choose 3 activities to do throughout the week. They do not get to choose swimming, as they do this as a group. There is one wagon leader in each cabin, who will teach or help with 2-3 activities/day.

Xtreme campers do a lot of paintballing, as well as mountain biking and boarding. They do many activities as a group, as they are Dallas Valley's smallest camp.

Golf Camp, has an instructor who teaches technique, and helps campers improve on their skills. They will stay at Conestoga in the wagons and do skill training at camp, but are also taken to a local golf course to work on their game. *Campers must bring their own clubs*

Girls Getaway, is our newest addition for 2016. It is a girls only camp, in which girls get to be girls. They will try camp activities, but also have time to relax. Many different skills will be brought to this camp, that won't be available at our other camps.

Western Riding features an emphasis on western horsemanship and gymkana with training in horse management and advanced riding skills. You may request permission to bring your own horse. An overnight Trail Ride through the Boggy Creek Valley to the Colhoun Ranch in Flying Creek Valley is this camps highlight.

Barrel Racing campers learn how to properly pattern their horse on the barrels, horsemanship skills, bits and tack, and other camp skills. Campers will practice the pattern daily. They will also do drywork away from the barrel pattern in order to learn what their horses need to know to make training on the pattern easier for horse and rider. The use of different bits and proper saddle fitting will also be covered. At the end of the week there will be a Sask Barrel Racing Association 'barrel jackpot' held at the camp in which campers will have the option to compete. *Campers must bring their own horses for this camp. This camp is open to girls only.*

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: May long weekend is our staff training, in which all of our program staff must attend. Leaders in training will get to learn to teach skills/activities, find out what camp is all about, obtain job descriptions/requirements, and learn so much more.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO:
BACKGROUND: Camp Kodiak is an integrated, non-competitive, overnight summer camp serving children & teens with and without LD, ADHD, high-functioning ASD. Campers come from all over North America and from abroad. The primary objectives of Camp Kodiak are to build confidence and self-esteem, to teach social skills, to foster independence and to provide an exciting and satisfying camp experience. This is achieved by providing a safe and nurturing environment, a mature, professional staff, a very low camper-to-staff ratio and a program that is designed to ensure success. Staff never miss the opportunity to recognize and celebrate these successes.

PROGRAM: Camp Kodiak programs for success! All sports and activities are taught in an organized, set-by-step fashion to ensure success. Cooperation rather that competition is emphasized. There are over 50 sports, crafts, cultural and educational activities so that every camper can find several activities at which they can excel.

Core Program: Many campers are hesitant to take on new challenges. In order to ensure that they get the most out of their camp experience Kodiak has developed a core program of 14 activities to which all cabin groups are scheduled. They include an instructional swimming program, water-skiing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, team sports, tennis, archery, arts & crafts, drama, team-building initiatives, high ropes and rock climbing. Campers are encouraged to participate in these activities with their cabin group.

Electives: There are several times each day when campers are able to choose their own activities and pursue personal interests independent of their cabin-mates. The choices include instruction in activities of their choosing and activities that are strictly recreational.

Academics: Monday to Friday, right after breakfast, everyone in camp has an hour of academic instruction.

There are two components to the academic program, Option 1 and Option 2. Campers in Option 1 receive academic tutoring. Campers in Option 2 receive instruction in an educational activity such as music, drama, dance, pottery, photography, chess, STEM activities, first aid, nature studies, etc.

STAFF: An important reason for the success of our program is our staff. Approximately one half of our counselors are trained, certified professionals from the fields of education, psychology, social work and recreation. Every cabin has at least three counselors and at least one of them is a trained professional. The remaining staff are university students, most of whom are working towards a career in one of the helping professions. The camper-to-staff ratio is 2-to-1. All of our staff undergo a rigorous training period before the campers arrive and all new counselors go through a police background check.

MEDICAL CARE: We have a doctor and three nurses on staff. They live on-site, administer all medication and are available 24 hours a day in case of emergency. The hospital in Parry Sound is 20 minutes away.

TRANSPORTATION: Transportation to camp is by highway coach from Toronto. Camp personnel are available to meet campers at Toronto International Airport and to ensure they get their flights home at the end of camp. There is no extra charge for this service.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Camp Kodiak LITs range in age from 16 to 18. Besides the regular camp activities, they attend workshops on learning differences, team building, leadership skills and teaching methods. Then, under the supervision of our staff, they have the opportunity to assist counselors with some of our younger campers. They also help organize and implement some of our evening and theme day activities. LITs who are looking for more vocational experiences act as waiters & waitresses for our younger campers. They also help out with some of our office routines and help run our camp store ("tuck shop").

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
CAMP KODIAK HAS 2 SESSIONS
Session 1 (June 28 - July 25) 4 weeks $6175.00 + HST
Session 2 (July 26 - Aug. 15) 3 weeks $4990.00 + HST
Sessions 1&2 (June 28 - Aug. 15) 7 weeks $910,185.00 + HST

Fees include all activities, laundry service, tuck shop, and transportation from Toronto. We must add the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) to the fees regardless of whether or not the family is Canadian.

CAMP FACILITIES: Our philosophy is based around designing inclusive social groups that allow for participants to express themselves and have a say in the experience. Participants will set the schedule, control the route, and are given the freedom to develop their own games and activities while on our programs.

Participants will sleep in tents (excepting sailing programs, where accommodations are typically on the boats themselves). Participants will typically travel daily, learning to prepare their own meals on fires and camp stoves, setting up their own schedules, learning outdoor skills (survival skills, map and compass, etc...), and learning about group dynamics.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Crystalaire has been offering alternative outdoor adventure education experiences for almost a century. Our staff are highly trained, and will have lifeguarding and wilderness medicine certifications as well as prior experience.

These programs may be afternoon, evening or all day programs and organized as cabin, section or all-camp events.
