This camp is designed with the little want to
be driver in mind. Children
who love cars and trucks will be head over heels
for this camp.
Campers will be assigned their own electric car
to drive and maintain
throughout th eweek while they learn the 'laws
of the road' and 'car
care'. We'll be attempting to put a fun/educational
spin on ownership,
maintenance, and operation of a car just like
mom and dad!
All campers will start out
with $1000 of play money, with the hopes of
having a little left over by Friday. They'll have
to navigate several
obstacles each day: the used car salesman, the
car insurance
representative, auto mechanics, and the police.
All will be portrayed in
a positive light, with each experience being educational.
Campers
will earn their drivers license by taking a written
and practical
driving test prior to getting the keys to their
new ride. Not to worry
moms and dads, these cars don't go very fast and
the written test is
designed for all to pass. Throughout the week,
campers will learn the
essentials of 'auto economics': fuel, speeding
tickets, insurance fees,
and maintenance.
Practical knowledge will also be part of the fun
including parking, four-
way stops, pedestrian and bicycle safety, merging,
changing lanes, and
obeying traffic signs in preparation for an educational
race on Friday.
This e-race will feature teams of drivers solving
multiple driving related
problems like traffic stops, insurance claims,
service station run
arounds, and traffic delays all in an effort to
cross the finish line.
Winners names will be posted on our Camper Hall
of Fame Board.
This camp is open to
boys and girls, ages 5 to 7.
Space is limited to 8 drivers. Lunch is served
daily at 11:30am

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. |
