Hello:
We’ve popped out of camp hibernation and
announcing the IPYNC’s 2017 summer camps schedule and staffing today.
Registration between now and April
2017 is open to kids who have attended a previous year.
In April between 10 -15 new kids get an opportunity to attend
camp for the first time.
At this time, parents of
children who have not attend camp before are encouraged to contact
us now to be put on a waiting list (more about this farther down in the post).
Here are the Camp dates and age groups:
Camp 1: Monday July 10th to Friday July 14th, 2017 for ages 5 to 12
Camp 2:
Monday July 24th to Friday July 28th, 2017 for ages 5 to 12
Camp 3: Monday Aug. 7th to Friday Aug. 11th, 2017 for
ages 5 to 12
Camp 4: Monday Aug. 21st to Friday Aug.25 th,
2016 for ages 12 to 15
The IPYNC started around my picnic table on a
beautiful July morning in 2003 for 3 elementary aged children. A few
years later in 2007 the camps had become popular enough that we added a camp
counselors and began offering a week-long day camp with 10 children in each.
Summers flew by and camps become more and more fun, so we added a second camp
counselor and brought the number of children registered in each camp up to
15. Six years ago, we realized we needed to add a Junior High aged camp for
children who wanted to continue coming to the IPYNC; so in 2011 we introduced a
fourth “Big Kids Camp”, as we began to call it, that year.
Also, today Scott is very happy to announce he will have
both of his super camp counselor, Naomi, and Art teacher, Sadie, back
again this summer. Sadly, our counselor Karen Bolivar will not be back again this summer. She has an opportunity to work in Cape Breton this summer for her coop program at Acadian University. Speaking for all at the camp, we will miss greatly.
With the departure of Karen, stepping up in her place will be long time campers and junior Counselors, Kyra Kenny, Michael Ellis and Mitchell Aguinaga. Two of them each camp will join Naomi and Sadie to staff the camps this summer.
As in the past, we will be actively looking for Junior
Counselors for the three “Little Kids” camps. The Junior Counselor
position is open to all campers in the “Big Kids Camp” aged 13 to 15.
Please contact us if you have “Big Kid” in mind, which I’m sure lots of you
do!
We offer registration spots to returning campers exclusively
until April. After this time, registration will be opened-up to everyone
else. However, with the addition
of a fifth camp for 15 to 17-year old’s, we are also actively looking for new
campers for this camp starting today. If you know anyone that has
children this age that would like to attend, please have them contact Scott. We can put them on the waiting list. Usually we have about 20% of the spots left
after we've heard back from all previous years’ camper’s parents, so there’s a
pretty good chance of new campers getting in.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Peace, Love, yah to longer days,
- IPYNC Staff
