Does your child dream of being the next David Cook or Kelly Clarkson? This camp is their chance to experience a moment in the spotlight. From singing to song writing to performing on stage, campers will learn the ins and outs of the entertainment world and what it takes to make it in the music business. In this week-long camp, Mark Edwards will help campers develop their talents and coach them on how to sing and write their own song. Then it’s off to the studio to record their very own CD!
Last year, campers took a trip to meet the crew from the popular Mojo and the Morning Show from WKQI 95.5 at the Clear Channel Communications Studio in Farmington Hills. They recorded their songs in 95.5’s production studio. Afterwards, Mojo talked with them on air! Campers will spend the later half of the week refining their performance through a dress rehearsal in preparation for their live performance on Friday at 11:30 a.m. for friends, family, and the other OYA campers.
As an artist, Mark Edwards charted four Top 30 singles in the 90’s as well as appearing on Billboard’s Top 50 chart. He also was a past performer on “Star Search”. He has worked with such artists as Billy Joel, Le Ann Rimes, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Bruce Springsteen. This camp is open to boys and girls ages 8 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. |
