[:] Oakland Yard Athletics [:]

This weeklong camp will provide your child with the knowledge and skills needed to be a great baby-sitter. At the beginning of the week, campers will learn the basics of baby-sitting: heating bottles, changing diapers, and properly holding a child. They will also learn how to handle various situations that may arise while baby-sitting: message taking, emergency situations, and security procedures. Throughout the rest of the week, campers will learn numerous games and activities they can do with children of different ages.

Wednesday campers will spend the day learning about emergency preparation and what to do if a child has a fever, or gets a scrape, deep cut, or bloody nose. They will also see a presentation on the proper way to perform CPR. Before sending these future sitters out into the world, they will have a chance to test their sitting skills.

On Friday, campers will be split into groups and assist in the running of Oakland Yard’s Mom’s & Tot’s Camp, children ages 2-4. Their challenge will be to lead the children in a group game or activity, which our sitters will learn during the week. While leading the activity, Oakland Yard Counselors will be there to guide them should any assistance be required. Camp includes ‘Baby-Sitters Guide Book.’

This camp is open to boys and girls ages 11 to 14. Camp size is limited to 12.

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 emergency 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 child's 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 official 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, Oakland Yard campers will participate in an indoor field day inside the dome. Campers may be asked to participate in activities other 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 occur, except where noted.
