| "Camp
Hope sign up day is Saturday April 19th, 2008 from 10am-1pm in the
Salvation Army gym. More details, including calendars and registration
forms, will be available in mid-March". However, in order to
sign up a child, you must contact Steve Jandt directly at 593-2368.
Whether it’s
for one week or the whole summer, youngsters who attend The Salvation
Army’s Summer Day Camp come away from the program with a variety
of experiences — and a stronger set of values.
The summer
day camp program includes in-house programs such as gym, and arts
and crafts, as well as educational, religious and musical activities.
Field trips
are an integral part of the summer day camp program — trips
to amusement parks and zoos and attractions around Wisconsin, locations
that the youngsters might not otherwise have access to, as well
as visits to places in and around Green Bay such as the National
Railroad Museum and the Packer Hall of Fame. A typical week also
includes visits to swimming pools in the community, as well as visits
once a week to the Brown County Library.
The summer day
camp program is open to young people ages 7 to 12 and parents can
sign up their child for anywhere from four weeks to the entire summer.
Many young people return year-after-year, their parents secure in
the knowledge of where and how their children are spending the summer.
The summer
day camp’s director, Steve Jandt, says the adult supervisors
attempt to give the youngsters “as much love and respect as
possible and provide them with as much emotional and spiritual nourishment
as we can.” |
