Put
on your work boots and grab a hammer –
we’re building a shed! It’s Construction
Camp for all future Do-It-Your-Selfers. You’ll
learn those invaluable skills you’ll
need to help mom and dad with fun projects
around the house. It’s safety first
in this new camp. Kids will learn proper techniques
for handling beginner power tools –
drills, saws, etc – under the watchful
supervision of John French with Eden Garden
and Landscape. This kit comes complete, so
every camper gets a chance to read a blueprint,
prepare the site, construct a sub-base and
floor, rough walls, erect trusses, install
a roof with shingles and edging, install trim,
doors and hardware and maybe even finish flooring,
install electrical and paint if time permits.
These 8’ x 10’ sheds are available
for purchase on a first come basis. They will
be delivered to your house for the cost of
materials (around $1050). Contact marty@oaklandyard.com
for purchase/delivery details.
This camp is open to boys and girls
ages 11 and up.
Space is limited to 12 campers.

ADVANCED CONSTRUCTION
Your house is
full and you need more room. What do you do?
Build up of course! In this advanced construction
camp, campers will build a tree fort. It’s
tougher this go round because campers do it
all - no pre-fab kit! Carpenters will select
and prep just the right tree, design a structure,
budget for and purchase materials. Then it’s
build time. This camp will start out with
a safety review for all power equipment used
and building procedures. All installations
will be rehearsed and closely supervised.
Once again, John French from Eden Garden and
Landscape will instruct and supervise. Campers
will need to have completed Construction Camp
or be admitted on Mr. French’s recommendation.
This camp is open to boys and girls
ages 11 and up.
Space is limited to 12 campers.

What's
What at OYA |
|
Oakland
Yard Summer Camps is continuing our
passport program to ensure that we
are a leader in safety by providing
a worry free place for parents to
leave their children. To accomplish
this, we will continue to issue camper
passports to all campers. In addition
to our passport security measure,
we will ask that you park your car
and come into our gated-area each
day to drop off and pick up your child. |
|
How
It Works: Campers
will use their passport on a daily
basis to check in with their counselors.
Counselors will use this passport
and the information contained therein
as a quick reference for attendance
and emeregency information.
Upon receipt of your child's
passport, we request that you fill
in the required information with
a pencil.
Campers passports will
be returned to each them at the
end of the day when their parent
checks them out.
There is a one time passport
fee of $10 per child. This
passport will never expire, it just
needs to be updated with your childs
current photo each year.
|
|
Parents who want
to pre-purchase ice cream and candy
credits for campers can do so for
any amount they desire.
Why do this? It allows kids to have
treat without carrying around cash.
Our counselors will keep the passports
in a safe place during the day then
at noon and a predetermined time during
lunch club and working parent the
campers can redeem their credits for
candy or ice cream.
All ice cream and candy costs
$1 |
|
Oakland Yard is
once again offering transportation
to and from our off-site camps for
a nominal fee.
To take advantage of transportation,
kids need to be enrolled in either
the Breakfast Club or Lunch Club.

As overnight campers,
we loved getting care packages from
mom and dad. Our day campers can experience
the same thrill with our OYA Mail
Call. We have our own offical mailbox
for you to deposit letters and care
packages into when you drop them off
in the morning.
We will have Mail Call on
Wednesday during Lunch Club,
if your child is not in Lunch Club
we will deliver the package on Thursday
morning. |
|
In the event of
rain, Oaklad Yard campers will participate
in an indoor field day inside the
dome. Campers may be asked to participate
in activities othere than the camp
they signed up for.
Camps that generally go about their
business on rain days: Sports &
Games, Arts & Crafts, Soccer,
Hip-Hop and Cheerleading.
There will be no make-up days offered
if a rain day should occure, except
where noted. |
