Hello:
We have registered returning campers for what will be our 14th summer of fun outdoors. Now its time to register new campers. We still have a number of registration spaces left; so if you have or know any children that would like to join the camp, this would be the time to register! Please contact Scott at ospreys@eastlink.ca for more information.
Peace, Love and great expectations,

2017 Summer Camps and Staff Announced
UPDATED APRIL 2, 2017
Hello:
We’ve popped out of camp hibernation and
announcing the IPYNC’s 2017 summer camps schedule and staffing today.
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 visit the IPYNC blog at http://indianpointyoungnaturalistclub.blogspot.ca/ in
the coming weeks and months for the latest information on this summer activities.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
