ESTEVAN at KENOSEE JUNIOR SUMMER BAND CAMP AUGUST 15th – 20th,
2010 Dear Student and Parent or Guardian: Welcome to the Estevan at Kenosee Summer Band
Camp. I do hope that your son or daughter is as excited about the camp as I am.
I know it will be an excellent learning opportunity for your child, as well as
a fun experience. Once again this year, the camp is being held
at Clearview Church Camp at Kenosee Lake.
You will enter Moose Mountain Park through the main gates. Continue on
the main park road following the institutional camp signs until you see the
Estevan Summer Band Camp sign. At that point you will turn left (south) and the
entrance to Clearview Camp is the second approach on the left (east). If you do
not have a provincial park sticker, you will be required to pay a park entrance
fee. If you leave the park within three hours of entering, you may ask for a
refund of that fee. Camp registration and the parent meeting will be planned
within this time frame. Arriving too soon in advance of the registration time
and the parents meeting is not recommended. Please DO NOT arrive at the camp prior to
4:00PM. Due to the nature of the camp, and the fact that it is
a residential camp, please read all points carefully. o Registration and welcome BBQ will commence at 4:00 PM,
Sunday, August 15th, 2010. o Camper/parent meeting will take place at 5:00 PM -
rules and expectations will be laid out at this time. Parents are encouraged to
attend, however, if your child is arriving with someone else, please get the
information from them. o Please insure that your son/daughter’s instrument is
in good
working condition and that they have all necessary accessories eg.
Reeds, valve oil sticks, mallets, etc…..as these items
will not be available at the camp. o Auditions and band placement will follow the parents’
departure. o A concession will be on site. Money will be collected
at registration, to a maximum of $10.00 per camper. The concession will run on
a credit system and refunds will be given at the end of the week for the
balance, if any. Campers are asked not to have any additional money at the camp. o All medical conditions, prescription and/or other
medications, i.e. Food, insect allergies, asthma, etc, must be reported at time
of registration. Please be very specific. o Campers may wish to bring personal CD players and
cameras. Please ensure that these are labeled with the camper’s name. Ghetto
blasters, cell phones, and the like, are not allowed at camp, and if brought,
will be take away and held until the end of camp. A telephone is available at the camp but is
for emergency use only. If you need to contact your son or daughter while
at camp, please call (306) 421-1905, Mrs. Grunert’s cell or the camp, (306)
577-2030. o A t-shirt is included in the registration fee and will
be handed out at registration. o Camp will conclude with a Final Concert that will take
place Friday, August 20th, 2010 at 5:00 PM. A meal will be served
during the concert. Please bring lawn chairs, as the concert will be outside,
weather permitting. Campers will depart following the concert. If you are not
able to attend, please make arrangements for your child to be picked up at this
time. Again, please do not arrive at the camp prior to 4:00PM. o Camp rules and expectations are enclosed. Please read
them carefully with your son or daughter, as they will be strictly enforced.
Should campers not adhere to these rules, parents will be contacted and
appropriate action will be taken. o Various recreational activities are being planned and may include
some of the following: basketball,
tetherball, swimming, mini-golfing. These activities
will be interspersed throughout the day with the musical aspects of the camp
such as: full band, lessons, theory, sectionals, etc. Thank you, once again, for choosing to be a
part of the Estevan Summer Band Camp. If you or your child have any questions
