Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Program5½-11yrs • JULY 3 – AUGUST 30

*Children must be eligible to register for Grade 1.*

Once upon a time, there was a world without video games and movies. This was a time when adventures were lived and remembered. Through animation, thrilling games, hilarious songs and a little creativity we bring the summer to life for your children. Each week is a new chapter in our story that will navigate us to the true meaning of summer camp. Join us for one week or the whole summer in “the land of PhuN”!

Saanich Neighbourhood Playground Programs are safe, well supervised, high quality and affordable day camp programs delivered in a park setting with plenty of active, imaginative play. Staff are enthusiastic, have current fi rst aid, criminal record checks and have received training in child protection procedures. This unique program receives additional funding to help keep fees low for parents. A little rain…. No problem, we have indoor facilities available for poor weather.

WEEK 1 JULY 3RD – 6TH: LIONS AND TIGERS AND PHUN? Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore! That’s right! We’d like to welcome you to… the Land of PhuN! You’ll play your phavourite games and meet your phavourite leaders! You’ll need brains, courage and willing hearts to guide us towards the stolen stories of PhuN.

WEEK 2 JULY 9TH – 13TH: MUGGLE MYSTERIES Muggles unite! The Department of Mysteries is seeking our help to solve the riddles and puzzles of the Land of PhuN! Stick close to your new friends this week and work together; the land of PhuN can’t do it without you!

WEEK 3 JULY 16TH – 20TH: SOME PIG!The tiniest of friends will make the biggest of differences this week, but we need to watch the corners for her important messages. Learn to be a real scientist and observe weird, wild and wonderful things. This is the Land of PhuN after all!

WEEK 4 JULY 23RD – 27TH: WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE!Have you ever seen a Zink? Did you ever meet a Phlink? If you did, you win. Now let’s take a swim! Water is here and water is there! Water water everywhere! Thing 1 and Thing 2 tell us don’t get too wet; the stories of PhuN are out there yet!

WEEK 5 JULY 30TH – AUGUST 3RD: A MESSY RUMPUSPut on your wolf suit and make mischief of one kind… and another! This week will be a wild and messy rumpus in the Land of PhuN. Wild things of all shapes and sizes are welcome as we get in trouble paintin’ our leaders and makin’ mud pies. Yum!

WEEK 6 AUGUST 7TH – 10TH: WHAT A PEACH! Nature in the Land of PhuN sure is peachy! Slippery, slimy, prickly and... not-so-puny ladybugs, caterpillars and worms! If they work together, SNPP Campers will overcome some real obstacles this week; let’s just hope their efforts are fruitful!

WEEK 7 AUGUST 13TH – 17TH: SINGING FOR OUR STORIES A magical phlute might help us this week as we travel deeper into PhuN. SNPP Campers, check your pitch, the King might require a song!

WEEK 8 AUGUST 20TH – 24TH: NEVER NEVER OLYMPICS Olympics in the Never Never Land of PhuN are fi lled with adventure and risk. Tink tells us if we believe, we can do anything we put our minds to. But watch out, the one-handed man could show up anytime!

WEEK 9 AUGUST 27TH – 30TH: CREATIVE CAMPERS And they lived happily ever after. Right? Or how did it go? This week SNPP Campers will create their own endings!

S.N.P.P. ADVENTURES 2012It was a dark and stormy night in the Land of PhuN. A struggling postman, though usually jolly, clutched a large and important package tightly to his chest as he walked up a gigantic hill through the sleet, hail and wind towards the King’s Castle. All at once a great gust ripped the bundle from the postman’s hands tossing it and its contents into the air, sending cascading fl urries of paper across the sky. To the, now, not-so-jolly postman’s horror, white pages quickly dotted the horizon, distant images of giant insects, magical fl utes, and... was that a fl ying monkey? SNPP Campers far and wide! We need your help to fi nd and deliver this package to the King (and his men) and save the Land of PhuN from a world without stories.

THE ABCS OF PHYSICAL LITERACY Just as learning your ABCs sets the foundation for learning to read and write, learning the ABCs of movement (Agility, Balance, Coordination, Speed) sets the foundation for physical literacy and an active life. Physical literacy is the development of many different types of movement like throwing, kicking, running, catching, and kicking that allow kids to build their skill sets and allow them to be involved in a number of different types of activities as they get older. For example, if you cannot throw, you will not be able to play baseball, softball, football, rugby, etc. By teaching these skills and movement patterns early, kids have a better chance at engaging in many sports and staying active for life.

ALL SORTS OF SPORTS CAMP 6-8yrsDo you love to play all sports? This camp will explore lots of different sports.

SAANICH COMMONWEALTH PLACEPool Closure – Summer 2012

No one likes surprises, so we wanted you to know now that we are getting prepared for the full closure to all our pools and deck areas starting Monday, July 9, 2012 until Monday, September 17, 2012. This period includes our regular 2 week maintenance shutdown.

The purpose of the closure is for the safe removal and replacement of the large skylight system over the centre of the pool deck.

During the pool area closure there will be no access to all pools and the pool deck. We are in the process of developing other fi tness options for you to experience this summer. Change rooms for our fi tness and weightroom participants will still be available.

The rest of the facility will be open for summer programs, camps and fi tness activities.

We encourage our pool customers to plan to use other Saanich or regional recreation centres who have agreed to honour our passes for access to their pools. These facilities include Gordon Head Recreation Centre, Crystal Pool & Fitness Centre, Esquimalt Recreation Centre, Oak Bay Recreation, Panorama Recreation, SEAPARC Recreation and Westshore Recreation.

More details and ongoing updates can be found on the Saanich Website www.saanich.ca or on Facebook or Twitter. If you would like to receive regular updates please sign up for the Saanich E Newsletter.

Summer is approaching and the weather is warm and wonderful, but neighbourhood street trees are suffering and dying! Just as we thirst for long, refreshing drinks to replenish bodies during the warm days, so too do the trees that adorn streets in our neighbourhoods.Of great help to quench the thirst of your tree, is to remove the grass at the base of your tree and create a round “tree well”, about one metre across, which you can then fi ll with mulch. The “mulch tree well” will greatly assist in keeping water available for the tree, make it easy to mow around the tree and protect the tree from line trimmer and lawn mower damage.

Please help quench the thirst of your trees by following these guidelines:

1. Please water trees twice a week2. Water deeply and thoroughly

each time a minimum of 15 minutes (20 litres)

3. Water when it isn’t raining4. Water during the cooler part of the day5. Water at low volume to eliminate

water runoff

A Day at the BeachOn a hot sunny day, there’s no better place to be

than the beach! Cadboro-Gyro Park has one of the fi nest beach locations in Saanich. This 5.3 hectare park (13.1 acres) was initiated by the Gyro Club in the early 1950’s. This park gives us unique opportunities for windsurfi ng, sailing and kayaking. The giant sculptures for climbing are truly ‘one-of-a-kind’. A picnic area, washrooms and large open fi eld make this beach area ideal for family outings.

Throughout Saanich there are several other beaches and rocky shorelines for you to explore. Don’t forget to add the beaches at the following parks to your list of places to go during the summer:

Junior Golf Program The Cedar Hill golf course offers lessons and programs for children of all ages. Whether it’s recreational or primary sport, we have something for you. The Junior Program is delivered by CPGA professionals with over 40 years of combined experience. Recognizing that each individual child develops at a different pace, this program allows the student to develop skills that can be used for a lifetime.

We work with ages four, fi ve and six using an age specifi c program with modifi ed equipment and balls, hitting to velcro targets, and having lots of fun games. Ages 7 to 9, we use shortened golf clubs and real balls on the driving range. At older aged levels we then progress to full clubs and specialised programs for kids 10 to 18. The program is very similar to what they use for junior tennis.

The acquired skills are always delivered in a fun and safe learning environment, with every exercise having a future connection. For more information, contact Craig Rencher 250-475-7151.
