2013 Summer Camp Welcome Guide - YMCA of Greater Toronto

Welcome toYMCA Camp Pine Crest!This guide is for campers and parents to help prepare for camp thissummer. Whether it’s your very first time away at camp or you’re areturning camper, this guide will answer your questions.Being at camp is very different than being at home. We sleep in cabins of8-10 people, eat in a large dining hall with close to 300 people, and areoutside most of each day with the bugs! This type of lifestyle means thatwe work together to ensure that everyone’s camp experience is positive.We expect all campers and staff to treat each other with respect and helpothers enjoy their time away from home.We hope you return to your parents with greater confidence, newfriendships and excitement that will keep you wanting to return to campyear after year!If you’re feeling nervous about going away for the first time, please visitus at our Family Information Nights throughout Toronto or our OpenHouse Days at camp in June and August. You can also see pictures on ourwebsite at www.camppinecrest.ca and on Facebook. Please give us a callanytime with questions.Take care and we can’t wait to see you!Coel Balmer, Laura Cottes, Anne Coleman705-762-3377 / 877-878-9622camp.pinecrest@ymcagta.org3
