Dear All,
As of yesterday, Friday, afternoon, our day camp season at Camp Heidelberg came to an end! It was a pleasure welcoming our campers and parents to our beloved camp site during the past 8 weeks. We hope to see all of you again next year.
We could have not done it without the many, many people who supported us. So, a great big 'THANK YOU' goes out to our campers, parents, volunteers, staff, supervisors, leadership teams, and many other who made this camp season one of the most successful ones we all have been a part of. We would also like to thank the Optimist Club for allowing us to spend 8 unforgettable weeks at the camp.
We wish everyone a wonderful week off, and an even more enjoyable fall and school year!
See you next year at Camp Heidelberg! :)
Daisy, Stix, Husky, Lefty, Dyno, Red and Teddy! :)

WEEK 7 COMES TO A CLOSE - ONTO WEEK 8!
Dear All,
Have we said before that time flies - especially when we are having fun?? Well, time is not only flying but zooming by at Camp Heidelberg! This past week we 'navigated nature' at our beloved camp, and we learned tremendous amount about the natural environment surrounding us. We participated in pond walks, nature walks, played amazing games involving wildlife and their habitat, and we even learned about what effects deer population as well. Thanks to our very own 'Stix', this week was a blast!!
Next week we are embarking on a different adventure: we will be playing all our favourite games at the camp as we will be bringing the 2014 day camp season to an end. Games such as 'Gega ball', soccer, 'oh deer', 'huckle-buckle', and many more will be a must! And, of course, what about the campfire and the sleepover on Thursday?? We hope to welcome as many of you possible next week, for the final 'hooray'!! :)
Parents: please let us know how we did! Please fill out - if you have not done so - the on-line surveys our staff have spoken to you about at the sign-in/out tables.
Also, we are looking for 'Y' stories! If you and your camper have had a touching, impactful and meaningful experience at camp, please share it with us. Our aim is to share these stories wits the wider community as we will be preparing for the 2015 day camp season.
Thank you so much for your continued support of our day camp! See you next week, during the final 'hooray'!! :)

...AND IT'S A WRAP FOR WEEK 6 TOO!?!?!?
Dear All,
We hope you thoroughly enjoyed this past week at Camp Heidelberg! Our 'Jr. CSI' themed week showcased riddles, can't tells, puzzles, clues and even the DNA of split peas in pineapple juice! Despite the rain - and perhaps, at times, the unseasonably cool weather - we still have an exceptional time at our beloved camp.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents who support us on a regular basis, to those who participated in the 'pudding challenge' on Thursday evening during the campfire, and to our exceptional staff who went above and beyond to organize and deliver an amazing day camp experience for our campers. Please enjoy some of our special moments in the pictures below.
Next week we are in for a treat! The 'Navigating Nature' week will be lead by our 'Math Teacher / Resident Environmentalist' Stix! We are looking forward to many nature walks, cool crafts, active games, archery and the sleepover! :) With only two weeks to go in camp - and three weeks until school starts again (!) - we cannot stay idle even a minute at Camp Heidelberg! We must take every opportunity to enjoy our camp, learn about nature, make friends and learn about our Y and its five core values. (Do you know what these values are??)
See you at Camp Heidelberg next week!! :)

AND ITS A WRAP FOR WEEK 5!!!
Dear All,
We have come to the end of week 5! The sleepover - attended by 45 campers - was a great success, even though it took us a bit of time to fall asleep! :)
Friday morning, we started the day at the campfire pit, singing new and old camp songs. We also welcomed 'Moose' (Lindsay) from the Stork Family YMCA. She was a great help with our campers who wanted to do craft and board games in the morning. During the same time, we also played Gega ball, soccer, and worked on our archery skills.
After a delicious and bountiful pot-luck lunch - generously donated by our campers and their families - we talked about our Y's five core values (Acceptance, Responsibility, Respect, Health and Caring) and campers had an opportunity to talk about the caring acts they demonstrated during the day. All campers received a red bead for their efforts.
After the enjoying the long weekend, we will continue our adventures. Next week our theme will be 'Jr. CSI' where we will try our hands at detective work, and much more.
We hope you all are enjoying the long weekend. Thank you so much for your continued support of our camp, and hope to see you in the weeks ahead. Please remember: there are only three more weeks left of our day camp season!

ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE OF WEEK 5...
Dear All,
We already reached the middle of week 5! Can you believe it?? We can barely believe how time flies; but, as the old adage goes, 'time flies when you are having fun'! :) And there is no shortage of having fun at Camp Heidelberg this week - or any other week, for that matter! :)
We fully embraced our theme for the week - Sports Mania - even though we spent a day and a half indoors this week. The rain however did not stop us from perfecting our aim in archery, making some amazing crafts, playing touch football and working on our Frisbee throw. We even tried table tennis as well.
This week we welcomed Wiki (or Katrina) and Sifu NayNay (or Nathaniel) who helped us out while some of our counselors were away. Thank you for your support. On Friday, we will also be welcoming 'Moose' (or Lindsay) who will be subbing in for Wiki and Daisy.
We welcomed a few visitors as well this week. Our CEO, John, and his assistant Shawna came to visit our camp. They completed a tour of the grounds, and John even challenged one of our counselors in a game of table tennis. Sifu Naynay: I think John won that game! :)
For the rest of the week, we are looking forward to some amazing games, crafts and, of course, the sleepover. For the sleepover, we will be welcoming 'Hook' from the A.R. Kaufman YMCA and 'Daisy Jr.' from the Stork Family Y. In addition, our Supervisor Alex will be sleeping over along with 'Mushu' (or Kelsey, the Site Coordinator at the A.R. Kaufman YMCA) and 'Moose' (or Lindsay).
Thank you for your continued support of our camp. See you at Camp Heidelberg! :)

WEEK 4 CAME AND WENT...
Dear All,
It's Friday afternoon, and we have come to the end of week 4 - and to the halfway point of our summer! Time has flown by so, so fast! It's unbelievable that just a few weeks ago, we were beginning our 2014 camp season. Looking ahead we are aiming to embrace every and all opportunity to have an exceptional time at Camp Heidelberg!
And, we just did that this past week! This week we fully embraced our theme - 'build it up and break it down'! Of course, we built a lot more than we broke - or so we think - and we all had a tremendous time at the camp. :)
During the last three days of the week we played Gega Ball, worked on our archery skills, prepared skits and then delivered them on Thursday evening, had an amazing sleepover, and learned a tremendous amount from the LIAs who spent Wednesday and Thursday with us. Thanks to Lefty and Daisy, we also learned how to make slime with corn starch!
Looking ahead, we are gearing up for a week filled with sports, followed by a week of Jr. CSI, a week filled with activities geared towards learning about the environment, and then, during the last week of camp, we will be playing all the activities we really enjoyed all throughout the summer. We hope to see many of our veteran and returning campers soon again.
Thank you for your continued support of our day camp!

CAN A STYROFOAM CUP HOLD A BOULDER; CAN WE BUILD A LATTICE DOME USING ONLY STICKS AND STRING??
Dear All,
Even though it's only Tuesday, we have already fully embraced our theme for the week at Camp Heidelberg. Yesterday, we spent the day building weight-bearing structures, building the tallest free-standing structure, playing European Handball, refining our archery skills, and playing parachute games. In the afternoon, we tested our weight-bearing structures, and to our delight, Styrofoam cups and popsicle sticks can in fact hold a relatively large bolder. See our pictured below.
Today, Tuesday, the BUZZ is that we will be spending the day in the forest building lattice domes out of sticks and string. Lattice domes - built out of simple materials - were used by pre-historic humans as shelters. Let's see if we can built the domes - and, let's see how BIG of a dome we can build!
Please do not forget about the PARENT CHALLENGE! Any comments - positive and constructive - are more than welcome.
Thank you for your continued support.

AND THAT IS A WRAP FOR WEEK 3! :(
Dear All,
Week three came to a close in the midst of a 'Gega Ball' tournament, several rounds of board games, archery and trips down to the pond for a few more pond explorations. On Thursday night we also enjoyed new skits during the campfire, and watched 'Despicable Me' afterwards. Some of us enjoyed a number of rounds of board games as well.
Next week we are 'building and breaking' structures and things - most likely building more than breaking! :)
Thank you so much for you continued support of our day camp!

MANY RECORD ARE BEING SET AND ATTAINED
Dear All,
It seems like week 3 at Camp Heidelberg is just flying by! There were - and still are - many records to set and many records to break; and all of us are in the midst of doing our very best to surpass our goals we set for ourselves.
One of the activities we have been really enjoying this week is 'Pond Exploration' - with the help of 'Mr. Heidelberg' himself, Al. He was kind enough to provide us with a few tips with regards to which living beings live in the natural habitat around us. Our goal then was to find as many of these creatures as we could - and to set a few records!! And, that is exactly what we did. Please see our pictures below.
But, we also continued to work hard on setting - and surpassing - individual goals as well. Records are being set in hoola-hooping (1 hour and 12 minutes without stopping), in hand stands, in hand stands against a wall, in basketball shooting competitions, and many other events. We will chat about these later tonight, during the campfire.
We were also visited by our friend Katie, from the Guelph Y, who lead us in activities dealing with youth gambling. She is an old friend - and supporter of our camp - and it is always so exciting when she visits us. See you again in August, Katie! :)
And, speaking of the campfire: the PARENT CHALLENGE is still on! There are many, many, points to be earned - and simply by commenting on our blog. We would love to hear from you! :)
Thank you all for your continued support of our camp. Hope to see you tonight at the campfire!! :)

WEEK 3 - LET'S MAKE AND BREAK RECORDS!!!
Dear All,
Here we are - it is week 3 ALREADY! This morning we began our adventures of making and breaking records at Camp Heidelberg. The campers, Brian - the volunteer - and our staff began the week with much enthusiasm and energy in hopes of breaking records, making friends, and having an unforgettable time at our beloved day camp.
This morning we began our day with team cheers and forming groups based on the individual choice of each camper. Later on we worked on our archery skills, tried the '50 meter scream' activity, played some basketball and wondered down to the pond in the hopes of finding - and naming - as many living things as possible. And, to our wonderful surprise, we made some quite unique friends: we met Spencer, the salamander, and Donna, the dragon fly! (See their pictures below.)
Tomorrow afternoon we will embark on a group-by-group quest to find as many living things by the pond as we can find! Each team will gain 50 points for each living thing they can find and properly name. We would like to thank Al, or 'Mr. Heidelberg', for a great rubric which will help us during our task.
And, speaking of teams and points, we are introducing the second annual PARENT CHALLENGE at Camp Heidelberg.

WEEK 2 COMES TO A CLOSE!
Dear All,
Week 2 came to a close way too quickly! The last two days of the week seem to have flown by in the midst of all kinds of fun and exciting activities. On Thursday we tried our hands - and feet - at a brand new game called 'Orbit'. We further perfected our lacrosse skills and prepared our groups for the campfire, which was a huge success. At the campfire we sang songs, acted in skits and welcomed staff from other sites, staff from previous years, and we also welcomed our former supervisor Kaitlyn as well.
Today, we competed in an 'egg drop' challenge, some of us played 3-on-3 basketball against the counselors, played soccer and worked on our archery skills. After a delicious pot-luck lunch we played 'Gega ball' and 'Camouflage' and saw a number of staff and two campers get schmucked with whipped cream.
By the time we got back to the Ys we were just so, so exhausted, and were definitely ready for the weekend.
Next week please stay tuned for the launch of our 'PARENT CHALLENGE' involving this blog! Parents will be able to help campers - and their counselor groups - gain much needed points just by following our blog. Please stay tuned for further information!
Thank you so much for your continued support of our day camp, and we are wishing you a great weekend.
Teddy and the Camp Heidelberg Counselors :)
P.S.: Enjoy our pictures from the last two days of the week.
