SAANICH CYCLING FESTIVAL
PHOTO BY GRAHAM MCFARLANE
For sharing with family, I like to try and get dramatic shots of my kids. This allows me to stay engaged in their play and encourages them to try new and different things. Our local park is the perfect place for this.
The 2017 event will feature a new family-friendly route that highlights the beautiful cycling and trail systems within our district. The route will include several community Celebration Stations where you can collect stamps in a passport booklet then enter a prize draw at the main Celebration Site. The more Celebration Stations you visit, the more chances you’ll have to win prizes and the more of Saanich you’ll have explored. Visit the events calendar at saanich.ca for more details and route maps. SAANICH MUNICIPAL HALL

We want your child to have the best week possible. To better prepare us, please share with us any unique needs or limitations that your child might have. Allergy? Saanich uses an Anaphylaxis Action Plan for parents to fill out for campers with allergies and an epi-pen. To better prepare our leaders for the first day of camp (as Monday’s can be busy!), please connect with the camp supervisor in advance. Support Worker? If your family is sending a private support worker to a Saanich Camp, you must connect with the camp supervisor before your week of camp. Saanich requires Police Information Checks of all support workers (including family members).

Did you know? Recreation Integration Victoria (250-477-6314) assists families with finding inclusion specialists (support workers) to attend camp with kids that need extra help in some shape or form. It’s best to connect with them sooner than later, as resources are booked quickly.

SUMMER CAMPS CHILD PROTECTION POLICY:
THE FIRST DAY:
At Saanich Recreation Services our primary responsibility is to provide a safe and fun environment for your children. Since 1995, we have conducted Police Information Checks for all of our staff. As part of their orientation, all staff receives training in appropriate conduct with children, recognition of harassment and bullying, recognizing signs of abuse and responding to disclosures.
You may need to stay for a few extra minutes on the first day so our staff can ensure your child is signed in and we have all of the required information from you. Please feel free to stay until your child is comfortably settled and we have answered any questions you may have.
REFUND POLICY:
WHAT TO BRING:
72 hours notice is required for a refund. We understand that withdrawals will happen but we require 72 hours notice in an attempt to fill the spot.
For full-day camps, your child needs to bring a knapsack packed with a healthy lunch and two snacks, water bottle, a hat, sunscreen, swimsuit, towel and a change of clothes. Use of vending machines is not permitted during camp hours. Depending on the camp, additional items may be required. You will receive information about this on the first day of camp. Please remember to label all your child’s belongings! Please leave electronic devices at home (iPods, gaming devices, etc.)

My name is Eliza Kerridge and I participated in the Youth Summer Internship Program in 2015 because I wanted to gain work experience and I love spending time with kids. I learned a lot through this experience, such as what it’s really like to have a job and how to be a leader. I made a lot of great relationships with both my co-workers and campers. It was the perfect summer! Later on, I joined CoYoTe. I really enjoyed the group dynamic, the opportunities for creativity and the accepting environment that this group provides. Contributing to the planning of a conference was so much fun! Saanich Parks and Recreation has played such a large role in my life and I have learned so much thanks to them.
