Celebrating our 22nd Year of Summer Adventure Camps!

For more than 20 years, Oakland Yard Summer Camps have given kids of all ages an exciting, fun and safe place to grow and make friends. Throughout the summer we offer dozens of different outdoor active programs for children to participate in with lots and lots of “extras”.

There’s the daily check in, where the campers are greeted by name by the staff and us upon arrival. There are the camps during the morning – over 50 to choose from – including some of the coolest ones in Oakland County.

At lunchtime, kids meet at the patio and unwind over a delicious meal and something cool to drink. Then there’s the afternoon highlight... our 200’ slip-n’-slide (the longest around) keeps the kids cool during the hot summer days!

Our afternoon camp, Camp FreeStyle, lets kids partake in an abundance of other activities. And there’s the largest sand box in town with plenty of water for castle contests. Of course, we also have our OYA Bucks! Our official OYA camp currency allows kids to earn and spend “money” at camp!

We pride ourselves on having an outstanding and caring staff – dedicated, conscientious, energetic counselors who are the reason why your child goes home healthy, happy,

satisfied and exhausted from a full day of fun.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you and your kids here this summer!

Philip Douse, Marty Greenspan & Nikki Benning - OYA Directors

Camp Experiences Help Kids!

n Baseball I Minors Experience a week with the legendary Bjerke baseball coaches! The concepts are all the same as for the bigger kids, just scaled down to meet the little guys where they are. Baseball fundamental skills will be taught – throwing, base running, sliding, hitting, fielding, catching, and footwork. Each camper will receive a baseball hat to keep. Players will need their own mitt.



• Times: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.



n Car Town Does your little guy or gal love cars, trucks or anything with wheels? This camp is designed with them in mind. All campers will get their own personal battery powered 4-wheeler to ride and use throughout the week while they learn the ‘rules of the road’. Prior to getting the keys for some all out fun, campers will have to earn their driver’s license by taking a written and practical driving test. Not to worry moms and dads, these cars don’t go very fast, and the written test is designed for all to pass.

Our overall message to the kids will be to show them the challenges and obstacles we parents go through to keep our cars on the road – buying or leasing, repairs, maintenance, insurance, and the laws.

Throughout the week, campers will learn how to handle themselves while parking, negotiating four-ways stops, merging into traffic, and obeying several types of traffic signs.

If this sounds like fun, just wait until camp time. We promise to not only educate your little driver wannabe, but we also plan on entertaining them as well!

“The best part of working at OYA Summer Camp is…

“making the little ones happy!”— Nicole S, 3rd year


n Lego I Junior Playing with Lego blocks is certainly the main focus with this camp, but as parents ourselves here at Oakland Yard, we understand that little people need other activities to keep their minds active and bodies busy. This camp will be all about building things; cars, trucks, buildings, cities, cranes, boats, bridges – anything and everything that comes to mind. We’ll bring out the big Lego bin and play alongside the kids for as long as they want. We’ll also have coloring books, construction paper, markers, tape and other materials for them to use for creative construction. This will all add to the building experience throughout the week.

By week’s end, the pirates will search for various pieces of a treasure map that they will have to put together to see where the buried treasure is. If successful, these pirates will have found a treasure chest filled with a bounty of booty.

Campers will use magnifying glasses, binoculars, shovels, ropes, their minds, and their fellow pirates to crack the codes that lead to the day’s

treasure. Just like the New York Times crossword puzzle, the codes will get more challenging as the week progresses. Rhymes, riddles, maps, and keys will all be used to solve the clues.






n Yoga I Junior Oooommmmm. Yoga is beneficial to every child’s growth and mental and physical development. Early yoga practice has been shown to increase muscle strength, focus, flexibility and self-awareness. Yoga practice helps with maintaining calm and increases over-all well-being in people of all ages. Campers get a head start on a healthy lifestyle as they spend the week practicing movements and breathing techniques in a fun, guided program led by our yoga instructors.

All the same benefits of our original Yoga program, but designed for younger campers.

n Building Up Girls This week is all about empowering girls through improving confidence and self esteem.

We will spend every day helping each girl discover what makes her awesome, and work to break down the idea that she has to live up to some unrealistic standard.

Our intention is that by the end of the week, each girl will feel stronger and more confident as she takes on the challenges of growing up.

n 12 and Under TennisTennis has changed! Based on the new “10 and Under Tennis” which has a modified set of rules for the sports youngest players, we are teaching 12 and Under Tennis. The courts are smaller and easier to cover, balls bounce lower and move slower through the air, racquets are sized for smaller hands and new scoring rules allow for more and shorter matches.

We will spend the week turning them into cool new fashions that they will be proud to wear, accessories, maybe even a rug or a basket to hold their treasures. The majority of our work will be done using just scissors, but we may also be utilizing dye methods including traditional and Sharpie tie dying.

n Yoga, Meditation & Zen Oooommmmm. Yoga is beneficial to every child’s growth and mental and physical development. Early yoga practice has been shown to increase muscle strength, focus, flexibility and self-awareness. Yoga practice helps with maintaining calm and increases over-all well-being in people of all ages. Campers get a head start on a healthy lifestyle as they spend the week practicing movements and breathing techniques in a fun, guided program led by our yoga instructors.






n Zombie Apocalypse Survival Camp Rumor has it that lurking in the woods behind the Oakland Yard fields, the zombies are multiplying. It’s only a matter of time before they discover the unsuspecting campers. They can smell the fun the kids are having and they don’t like it. Please, help us defeat the zombies by learning the ins-and-outs of zombie survival training. Campers will learn how to best defend against the coming horde. They will learn the best way to find or build shelter, build a fire, purify water, read a map/GPS, cook food out-of-doors (including which plants and bugs are edible when you run out) and zombie proof their encampment. Kids will also learn techniques for blending in with the zombies so that when they are (eventually) outnumbered, they can survive undetected. Time is running out, please hurry and help us save the Oakland Yard campers by learning this important life skill.
