PSA is teaming up again with the Cerebral Palsy Association in Alberta (CPAA) to offer a summer camp designed specifically for children and youths between the ages of 8 and 18 years with a physical disability. Led by our staff, a well-trained team worked together in the delivery of the camp. Two resident nurses were on hand to administer first aid and help with individual campers' daily needs. The 2002 Camp Unity ran from July 21 to 26 at Camp HeHoHa which is located on the picturesque Lake Isle just 90 km west of Edmonton.
CAMP OBJECTIVES
- To develop social skills of campers through leisure and sport while maintaining a non-threatening, comfortable environment.
- To promote independence and integration. Campers learn new skills as they participate in activities which are designed to meet individual needs.
- Whenever possible, the program will introduce able-bodied youth to help develop awareness and acceptance of others who are physically disabled.
PROGRAMS
OFFERED
All campers have the opportunity to experience familiar and new activities
throughout their week at camp. Campers choose from a variety of arts and
crafts, performing arts; lake front activities such as canoeing, paddle
boating, barging, fishing, tubing, etc.; recreational activities such
as wall climbing, swimming, mini-Olympics; sporting activities such as
baseball, boccia, volleyball, floor hockey; as well as outtripping opportunities
such as campfires, camp-outs, outdoor meals and field trips.

ONE-FOR-ALL
SUMMER DAY CAMPS
Space is limited so Register Early!
Due to the overwhelming success of the One for All Summer Day Camps, we decided to run them again. If you did not get a chance to participate in this last year, it is a great summer opportunity for all ages to get involved in. Each camp is specifically designed to meet each targeted group of children, youths or adults with a physical disability.
They are run by our well-trained staff who work together to provide the best learning environment for the participant and ensure fun is had by all! Minimal physical assistance was available (i.e. transfers). However, if an individual requires more care, it was recommended that they bring an attendant. There was no additional cost for the attendant.
The Day camps provided the opportunity to experience familiar and new activities. Our idea was to expose the participants to a wide variety of recreational and sporting activities. These included swimming, floorhockey, nature walks, dancing, arts and crafts, field trips, roller sledging, karaoke and of course, water fights!
