SUMMER CAMP INFORMATION

Seth Pomerantz, Assistant Manager

SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION INFORMATION

2017 Farm Camp applications are included in this

newsletter. Farm Camp will be held in weekly sessions

beginning June 12 and ending August 25. Day Camp and

Youth Camp run the entire summer. Little Farmer’s begins

Week 1 (June 12-16) and ends Week 8 (July 31-Aug 4). Call

(919)962-3276 or email uncfarm@hotmail.com for more

camp information. Space is limited in all of our camps so

sign-up today!

Non-Members have the ability to enroll in summer camp

this year! This will give your neighbor or classroom friend

a chance to attend one of the best camps in Chapel Hill.

Please read below as some rules apply:

- Non-members must be sponsored by a current Farm

member. The sponsoring member does NOT have to have

a child enrolled in camp for a non-member to attend.

- Non-members may enroll up to one month in advance for

each week of camp. For example, if you would like to sign

up for Week 6 (July 17-21), you may sign a sponsored child

up for Week 6 no earlier than June 17.

- Non-member camper enrollment will begin May 12 for

the first week of camp. Non-members are welcome to send

in their forms as early as they like to be put first on the

waiting list.

- All camper spots will be on a first come, first serve basis.

Spots will be limited due to early Farm member enrollment.

- Please direct non-member friends to our website for non-

member registration forms. We will accept non-member

forms early and enroll them in open spaces in the order

they were received.

- Payment must come from the sponsoring Farm member.

“COUNSELOR INTERNSHIP TRAINING” APPLICATIONS

The Farm Camp experience does not need to come to an

end once campers age out of camp. The Farm CIT program

is the training ground for creating top notch Farm Camp

Counselors and is often a first work experience. 14 year

olds interested in becoming future counselors should start

with the CIT experience. Some responsibilities include

regular camp duties, a mandatory orientation meeting,

weekly meetings and writing reflection logs. CIT duties will

make the experience more valuable and ready them to be

future counselors. Counselor Internship Trainees (CIT’s)

must be 14 year olds the week they work. They will be

given the opportunity to work a week in Little Farmer’s

and a week in Day Camp. The position is to be treated as a

true work experience so we ask for your child to personally

complete his/her application form and be responsible for all

future correspondence. CIT’s must complete applications

and return to The Farm by Friday, March 17 to be

considered for a position. Please visit our website

www.uncfarm.org for the CIT application.

COUNSELOR APPLICATIONS

2017 is The Farm’s 50th Anniversary and we are looking

forward to a great summer camp season. Anyone

interested in joining The Farm Camp staff must complete a

counselor application which can be found on our website

www.uncfarm.org. Counselor positions are highly

competitive considering the ratio of applicants to available

positions. Please treat this application process as you

would any other and make sure to list references you are

confident in and provide a resume. The Farm expects all

communication be made by counselors applying for the

position and not a parent. Applications must be in by

Friday, March 17 to be considered for a position.

YOUTH CAMP (AGES 9-13) TIMES 8:30AM-3:30PM MAX 50 CAMPERS COST $220 SESSION

Youth Camp is run in 11 one week sessions. A typical Youth Camper day includes tennis time, field games, crafts, swim time, lunch,

snack and weekly special activities. Youth Campers have the option of buying pizza for lunch on most Fridays for $2 per slice.

Campers are also allowed to go to the snack machine at lunch time. Youth Campers will be led by a camp director, two assistant

directors and a host of well qualified counselors. 13 year old campers will spend extra time interacting with the camp director to

encourage leadership, positive initiative, and effective role modeling to their fellow campers. This also goes hand and hand with our

addition of other opportunities for 13 year olds such as a low ropes course and organic garden.

Youth Camp After Care- offers camp care from 3:30-5:30 pm. The cost is $50 per week.
