This site was a pleasure to use and many people, parents, guardians, and staff commented positively on many different aspects of the location and all have been pleased and excited with the day camp experience. The North Shelter was large enough to hold all the campers. and staff when needed. The surrounding grassy area was open and still private enough to form a defined"fenced in area. It was a treat for staff and campers alike to have the option to swim each day for all the groups. Access to the park and its trails, open spaces, playgrounds, swim areas, etc. was a ready made outdoor education in itself. Having the 2009 summer day camp at the park was an exciting change because of the wonderful environment and the exposure of the campers (and their families)to the Park and its many gifts. Grants from the Triad Foundation, the Friends of the Library, and the Service League provided much needed resources during this transition to a new space. A detailed report from the Director and a financial statement are attached. The 2010 summer day camp program will begin on July 5, 2010 and end on August 13, 2010. Summer day camp will again be held at Treman Park. Hours of operation will be 7:3o am —5:45Pm, Monday —Friday. Approximately 105 children, ages 4-15, will be enrolled in the program, with 18 staff over the age of 18 years. We are already seeking to find additional sources of funding to cover the additional expenses anticipated.

" Ithaca Youth Bureau Elementary Basketball Program Information Coaches Girls Coach: Steve Mohlke Boys Coach: Fay Coyne 607,216-8411 (anytime) 607-793-3126(cell) 607,277-4183 607-273-4641(home/day) smohlke@lightlink.com Philosophy of Play The philosophy of 1YI3 Elementary Basketball is for the children to'learn skills, the rules of the game, practice teamwork,and most of all,for the children to have fun. Elementary Basketball is semi-competitive and as such there is limited score keeping, so we refrain from focusing on and discussing winning or losing. We are all winners when we play hard,play fair,and play as a team. During practices we will focus on: - Skills development: ball handling,passing,shooting - Playing a position:offense,defense - Team Play - Rules of the game - Sportsmanship It is the philosophy of the Enfield Community Council that all children who wish to play basketball should be provided the opportunity to do so. Therefore, ECC is working to provide transportation and scholarships for this program. Please contact the coaches or Carolyn Tschanz,ECC President and Elementary Basketball Coordinator(604-277-3980) for more information. Player Equipment Shoes: Sneakers Water Bottle: Practice and games are very active. Each child should bring a water or sports drink bottle, with their names on them,to each practice and game. Game Uniform: Each player will be given a uniform in the school colors. Please make sure parents do not lose them. Each child receives only one. Practice and Games Mandatory Parent/Player Meeting: The first practice is a mandatory meeting both parents and players must attend to participate in the program. IF you cannot attend this meeting AND your child would still like to participate,contact the coach as soon as possible. Mandatory meeting date&time: Girls'Teams—12/1/2009 @ 6:00 PM Boys'Teams—12/3/2009 @6:00 PM Practice: Practice is from 6:00 PM to 7:15 PM at the Enfield Elementary School Gym. Please arrive on time and ready ; to play. Girls' will practice on Tuesdays, starting on 12/1/2009. Boys' will practice on Thursdays, starting on 12/3/2009. If your child is not able to attend a practice,please let me know as soon as possible. Games: Games are every Saturday,starting 1/9/2010. Please arrive 20 minutes early and ready to warm-up and play." Game schedules(times and locations)will be distributed at practice the before games begin. If your child is not able to attend a game,please let me know as soon as possible. Playing in a basketball game(particularly the first few games)can be a very intimidating experience for these children. Your efforts on keepi pg low key about the game and being on time will be a tremendous help in getting us organized and ready to go. Game Communication: I know it is hard, but try to minimize calling to your child by name while they are playing. Let them play and us coach. Although we as parents want to provide as much guidance as possible,parents can tend to distract their child's attention away from the game or practice. Encouragement: Being positive and supportive of whatever they do is the most valuable interaction you can have as they are learning a sport. Practicing skills and reviewing game rules and tactics at home will help tremendously this year as we start to develop the concepts of positions and team play. Providing Feedback: If at any time you have concerns about what I, as coach, am doing, or want to discuss specific` items regarding your child,please come and tell me. I would prefer to speak face to face with parents, and preferably after practices or following games,but if this is not possible,please call me. Parent Participation Assignments Parents participating in team activities are what make a basketball program like this one possible. As such, we need your help: Practice Helpers/Assistant Coaches: During practices we try to keep the children moving and touching the ball as much as possible. Certain skills and drills will require help from patents. Please wear your sneakers so that you can help out when needed. Transportation Coordinator. This parent will help the coach coordinate rides for all the players to get to/from practice and games. Uniform Coordinator: This parent will help with the measuring/sizing of the uniforms for ordering and assist with the distribution of uniforms. This parent will need to coordinate with the ECC representative to place the orders. Picture Coordinator/Photographer: This parent or group of parents will coordinate the taking of a team picture prior to or at the first game, Duplicates of the pictures will be available for purchase by the team members. This parent will coordinate with an ECC representative to make purchases,etc. Parents who are willing to take digital photographs of the games and share them with other families are encouraged to do so. It is possible to put together a CD of digital photographs for each of the team members. Parent vs.Child Game Coordinator: This parent will coordinate the end of the season game between the coaches and parents versus the basketball team,schedule time in the gym for the event,find referees,and adult players. Team Party Coordinators: These two parent volunteers will be responsible for helping to organizing the big end of the season party. Note:There is usually a small contribution for pizza and trophies.
