Camp Program

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Our program, based on the CGIT Purpose, offers girls the opportunity to develop new skills under positive and encouraging supervision. We strive to help each girl increase their self-confidence and self-esteem through participation in planned activities in small group and all-camp programming. |
|
- A philosophy of leadership which sees the designated counsellor as enabler rather than teller, as resource person and as a guide;
- Groups small enough to foster person-to-person encounters and in-depth relationships, with a camper-to-counsellor ratio of about 4 to 1;
- An open-ended approach to questions and issues;
- Full involvement of campers with counsellors in planning and decision making;
- Recognition of the outdoors as not merely a setting, but a place where we learn to live in repect with Creation;
- A full spectrum of outdoor activities such as cook-outs, sleep-outs, swimming, hiking, exploring - which provide opportunities for learning to trust the elements in which campers find themselves. They also develop self-confidence and trust in others, and provide a wide variety of relationships with peers and counsellors where growth can take place in the direction of Christian goals.
The waterfront staff will provide the Red Cross Swim Kids program to all ages.
It is an opportunity for the campers to learn and play safely in the water.
