Purpose of Metropolitan Baptist Summer Day Camp:
Fun and safe environment for children
Place for children to improve academically and learn to get along with other children through recreation and various activities
A way for our church to minister to our community
Blast from the Past:Metropolitan Summer Day Camp had been running for 11 years
Lorraine Byrnes was the coordinator of the camp for all those years
Summer 2007 was the last year that the camp ran
Due to the fact that deadlines could not be met on time there was no Summer Camp 2008
PRESENT
In Fall 2008 our group decided that we would try to make the camp operational for Summer 2009.
In hopes of reaching this goal, we asked adults who were familiar with the policies to assist us. These adults became our mentors.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
As a group we learned how to do research. Components of research were: Administration Creation of fliers Outreach Agenda planningLeadership skills were learned along with taking responsibilities
REALIZATIONS
After looking into administration, making fliers and agendas, there was still a lot to do. Such as:
Training for staff members including first aid training, RTE training, and camp procedures. Field Trip arrangements needs to be done by first week of JuneFood Services: Making arrangements, to pick up and drop off lunches.
WHAT’S NEXT
Everything that we learned and accomplished this year will aid us in the opening of Metropolitan Baptist Church Summer Day Camp 2010.
