NOTE: This session is 5:30-9:30pm.
Staff will learn the games of the toolkit, the theory behind them and how they can be used to promote values. Feedback specific to Vancouver's use of Play it Fair indicates that children enjoy the activities and are integrating the values of respect, cooperation, respect for diversity, fairness, inclusion, responsibility and acceptance into their daily attitudes and behaviours.
The toolkit has helped reinforce children's self esteem, leadership skills, and capacity to solve their own conflicts. Play is used as a vehicle for dialogue and participatory debriefing by staff and campers, an important training focus.
We recommend daycamp coordinators and leaders who are not familiar with, or want to brush up on their skills to attend this 4 hour training. 16+yrs
