CHECK CAMP AVAILABILITY
SCHOOL FACTS
Showers
There are showers in
both the guys and girls locker rooms. Girls have five individual showers,
the boys are communal. There are separate shower times for youth and
adults, since they use the same facilities.
Program Area
Program is in the
gym. There is no air conditioning but we do rent very large fans. It is
usually pretty comfortable except when we all get up to dance then it does
get pretty warm.
Sleeping
Arrangements
Campers sleep in
classrooms… all the girls on one side of the school and all the boys on
the other side of the school with the cafeteria and school offices
separating them. There is no air conditioning in the school, but if each
group brings fans and the windows are open, there is usually enough air
moving to not be hot at all at night.
Additional
Information
Early June (when our
camp takes place) usually is the “coolest” couple of weeks of the summer
in the Toledo area. Even though it can get hot during the day, it can
get chilly outside at night. You could expect temperatures from highs in
the 70s-90s to lows in the 50s-70s. It’s anyone’s guess what the weather
could be like and that directly affects the temperature inside the
sleeping and program areas.
WORKSITE INFORMATION
Most of our
work is with individual houses doing construction, rebuilding,
repairing, putting in new windows, painting, etc. in the oldest
sections of inner city Toledo. These streets were originally
designed for horse and buggy and are narrow, thus
individual vehicles are best
to bring to this camp.
We
do work with a few day care sites. These day care sites will be
alternating between child care and doing work on the site of the
day care facility, so it is not completely working with children
all day long. We also do work with a couple of homeless shelters,
family centers, food banks, and homes for the elderly.
Most of our
sites are only a 5-30 minute drive from the school.
