Transportation to the campsite may or may not be included in the camp fee and supervision is provided on the bus. This type of camping is viewed by some as a stepping stone to an age and comfort level when the child can ‘graduate‘ into a resident camp, while others find a complete camp experience, suiting their 4 circumstances or inclinations, in an OCA Day Camp. Resident Camps operate over a variety of time periods from one to eight 3 weeks. They may be located in more distant locations, permitting them to o offer some very different geographical or environmental experiences than those at home. Accommodations and food service arrangements vary â€" dormitories, serviced cabins, rustle shelters, customized menus, cafeteriaâ€"style service, catered food service, etc. Activities, like those offered in day camps, vary widely with A wide variety of social service and publicly funded organizations maintain a camping program as an extension of the service which they offer their community. Often, campers and parents who utilize the other services of the agency will turn to it again for their camp experiences. The director may be a fullâ€"time employee of the agency or may be hired annually on a seasonal basis. Various religious camps operate g programs as an extension of their community work. in some cases, religious studles form ta-gomon of the daily program at camp while, in others, it may simply represent the source of staff commitment and the philosophy of the program being delivered. The item ‘private‘ refers to the ownership of the camp rather than to the nature of the clientele. Individuals, groups of individuals or private organizations operate the camp. In some cases, the camp is operated as the full time or, in some cases, the principal source of income for the owner. Consequently, the philosophy, staffing, program decisions and site development of the camp are often closely associated with the owner/operator‘s own leadership style. The history and evolution of organized children‘s camping is now approaching one hundred years, dating back to the early days of recreational excursions ‘by the sea‘ sponsored by such social agencies as the Halifax YM/YWCA. During periods of conflict (World Wars) and hardship (1930‘s) camps came to be recognized as respites from hard times and the ‘real world,‘ but, more importantly, as mentors and ‘builders_ of character‘ when parents and guardians might be otherwise occupied. Camp as an educational and development opportunity for children has persisted to the present day.: The camp experience has evolved into one in which children have an opportunity to> develop a first sense of personal identity which is outside the family and outsidey school; a relationship with peers, adults and the environment in a safe, supervised, community setting; as well as interests and attitudes which can last a whole life. There are a number of common misconceptions about organized children‘s camps; They are elitist, expensive, inaccessible. It is possible to find some camps which are designed to serve particular populations, in particular price ranges and in ' particularly remote parts of the province. It is also true that there is a camp program for almost everyone, almost anywhere and in almost every income bracket. It becomes a matter of knowing the range of choices available and then choosing wisely. Z\ the philosophy, budget and locale of the camp. For parents of children with physical, mental, developmental or emotional needs, there are two choices. Most camps are able to accommodate some level of special need, to the extent that their philosophy and site development permit. Alternatively, parents can investigate those camps which are specifically designed to serve the particular special needs of their campers. Many municipalities operate a camping program within or parallel to their recreation program. Typically, these programs are of a day camp variety on sites available throughout the community (schools, conservation areas, recreation complexes).
