Children’s Camp News
Garezers is once again offering a great opportunity for your children to enjoy GCC even longer at a reduced
rate. If you register your children for Sessions 1 and 2, the fee for Session 2 will be discounted! Several children
took advantage of this offer last year. Give your children the opportunity to double their fun – sign them up for
both sessions.
Garezers will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this summer. Because of that the dates for the GCC sessions
have changed slightly. Session 1 will start after the G50 celebration, on Sunday, July 5th at 4:00 PM. As usual, the
session will be two weeks long, ending on July 18th. Session 2 will begin on July 19th at 3:00 PM, and again will
last for 2 weeks, ending on August 1st. Session 3, a combination of the Culture Session and Sports Camp, will
begin on Monday August 3rd and end on Friday evening, August 7th.
For sessions 1 & 2 the entire program will be conducted in Latvian. For session 3 we will accept campers of
Latvian descent between the ages of 6 & 14. Knowledge of the Latvian language is not a prerequisite for session
3, although we will evaluate the campers’ knowledge of Latvian and incorporate it wherever possible. For your
information, over the last few years session 2 has seen a larger group of campers who completely understand
Latvian and are fluent speakers of the language. Every parent should realistically evaluate their children’s Latvian
language proficiency and register them for the apprpropriate session. We will play sports, learn/strengthen our
Latvian language skills, participate in arts and crafts activities, etc. during all 3 sessions.
GCC Handbook
This GCC Handbook is intended to familiarize families with the goals and format of Garezers Children’s
Camp. It defines the GCC activities and includes all guidelines for the summer. After reading this booklet, you as
a family will have a better understanding of how to prepare your child to participate in camp, be it for one or two
sessions.
GCC Goals
The main goal of GCC is to give children the opportunity to use and strengthen their Latvian language skills, as
well as to build respect for Latvian culture and traditions.
Three Main GCC Principles



Development: Campers will learn to live with others, respecting their opinions, thoughts and possessions,
as well as controlling their own behavior.
Fun: Campers will have the opportunity to have fun outdoors. They will participate in sports and other
activities, including crafts, evening activities and games.
Education: Campers will spend time learning the Latvian language, religion and culture. They will also
spend time learning Latvian folk dances, singing and nature skills. The campers acquire skills by
cooperating and forming new friendships while spending time in a Latvian atmosphere.
Dances & Campfires
During the 1st and 2nd sessions the dance will be held on the middle Sunday evening, but during session 3 it
will be held on Thursday evening. (Based on circumstances we may change the date of the dances.) The campers
are to come to the dance in their Sunday best. Campfires are typically Friday evenings. A joint campfire for all
programs is being planned for the 1st session. Parents are welcome to attend the campfires, as well as observe the
beginning of the dance.

Rules for accepting campers
Campers are accepted:

If they are 6 to 10* years old and have completed Kindergarten – 4th grade in school
(On a case by case basis we will accept 11 year old campers during the Latvian speaking sessions, if they
are not yet ready to attend Sagatavosanas school. Children who speak Latvian and are 11 – 13 years old
and have completed 5th - 7th grade can attend the Sagatavosanas school.)
*Children older than 10 are accepted in session 3.

In the 1st or 2nd session if their Latvian language skills are sufficient. GCC reserves the right not to accept a
child in the 1st or 2nd session, or send them home from the 1st or 2nd session, if it is determined that their
Latvian language skills are not acceptable.

In session 3 if the child does not speak and/or has a minimal understanding of the Latvian language, but
desires to learn about the Latvian language and Latvian culture.
Camp Fees and Deadlines







The camp fees are $1000 for the 1st or 2nd sessions, $400 for session 3, $1,500 for four weeks or $600 per
week.
The registration deadline is March 15th. Registrations for session 1 & 2 received after March 15th will be
assessed a $150 late fee. The postmark date will be used as the registration date.
For sessions 1 & 2 a $300 deposit per child is due upon registration; the remainder of the fee is to be paid
upon arrival at camp. Session 3 can be paid for when registering.
If the registration is canceled after June 1 the deposit will not be refunded.
If there are unpaid camp fees at the end of the camp session, Garezers will add 1½% every month to the
remaining balance until it is paid in full.
No refunds will be given if a camper is expelled from GCC.
An annual car entry pass is included in the camp fees.

General Registration Guidelines for All Sessions

If you will be delayed and not able to register during the designated time, please inform the Camp Director
ahead of time.

Campers move into the cabins after registration is completed

At the registration desk you must:
o Turn in the Health Form, and the camper must appear in person for a quick health screen
o Turn in all medication; the camper may not keep any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) in
his/her possession
o Make the final camp payment

It is recommended that you purchase a Camp Store card prior to registration.

Counselors will assume responsibility for the children after they have moved in.
Closing Ceremonies

Closing ceremonies for sessions 1 & 2 will be on the last day at 10:00 am in Sietini, and at 7:00 pm on
Friday for session 3.
Campers can move out and sign out after the Closing Ceremonies. Please stop by Teikas before leaving to
notify the Director that you are leaving with your child.
Suggestions and explanations:










To successfully participate in camp, camper’s must know how to:
o independently dress and wash themselves
o make their own bed and help to keep the cabin tidy
o place dirty clothes in a laundry bag
We recommend using a suitcase or plastic bin because they are easier to open and keep neat than duffle bags.
Pocket money: Campers do not need extra cash. Prior to registration it is recommended that purchase punch
cards for use in the Camp Store. Campers are given time once each day to buy ice cream or candy from the
Camp Store. To avoid potentially unpleasant situations, campers ABSOLUTELY MAY NOT keep cash
in their cabins.
Please do not bring any jewelry, shoes, clothes or sports equipment that is expensive, irreplaceable or would
require any special care or protection.
Campers may call home from the office telephone, but we suggest calling home no more than once a week.
The office phone may be used only with a calling card or by calling “collect”. Calling time will be limited
because the camp has only one phone. Please note that talking on the phone to parents may cause children to
be homesick even when they haven’t been homesick earlier.
The camp office telephone number is 269-244-8448. If you have an emergency and must contact your child,
call the camp office phone.
Campers do not have access to the internet.
An annual car entry pass is included in the camp fees.
Please write your child’s name or initials on all clothing items, including undergarments, and on any other
personal items.
Parents, please do not spend a lot of time in Spridisi or Indrani, especially in the evenings, because all too often
your children or their peers may cry after you leave. For the same reasons, please do not come into the Dining
hall during meals. On the other hand, parents are welcome to attend the dances, campfires and talent shows.

can participate in camp. Both the parent and the camper’s physician must sign the Health Form and it must be
renewed each year. A copy of both sides of the camper’s Health Insurance card and a list of all immunizations
must be attached to the Health Form. The Health Form is available on the Garezers website or by request
from the Garezers Main Office. 2 copies of all documents must be submitted.

Session Parents’ Representative
It is suggested that each session select a session parent who will coordinate interaction between parents and
with camp personnel (similar to school’s room mom). The main responsibilities will include arranging a midday
snack, snacks and drinks for the dance and s’more ingredients for the campfire.
Garezers Children’s Camp Rules
No set of rules can account for every situation. Therefore, GBN guidelines follow principles of friendly respect for
peers, Garezers and one’s culture.
Camper Responsibilities:



Speak, read and write at all times and everywhere in Garezers only in Latvian (sessions 1 & 2).
Respect the rights of the individual and of Garezers property and facilities.
Set a good example: behave in a helpful and polite manner.
The following is forbidden:






Leaving the campsite without permission
Disrupting sleep at night

Heavy injury or harm caused to other people anywhere in Garezers.
Leaving GBN premises without permission.
Criminal indictment for theft.
Smoking, alcohol or drug use or possession.
The GCC Director has the right to look through a camper’s personal belongings in their presence, if it is
suspected that the camper has items which are forbidden. The GCC Director has the right to confiscate such
items. The GCC Director has the right to confiscate forbidden items from a camper’s room without the camper
present.
Approved by the Garezers Board of Directors on January 12, 2002
Disrespect
Disrespect is any look gesture, work or action that hurts another person’s body, feelings, friendships, status, or
belongings. In the summer of 2004 all of the Garezers programs adopted an anti-bullying, anti-disrespect policy.
Students, employees, guests - everyone who has contact with a student or camper - may not behave disrespectfully
to another, nor may they accept disrespect from another at Garezers. Such behavior is unacceptable in Garezers.
There are prescribed consequences for disrespectful actions. The definition of disrespect and the potential
consequences for such actions are reviewed with all campers during an orientation session, the first day of camp.

Guidelines for Weekend Sign-Out:
The GCC campers have the opportunity to be signed out of camp on the weekends by their parent(s) or an adult
designated by the parents. During this time, the campers typically spend time with their parents resting or
enjoying their free time. Sign out is not mandatory. However, most, often all, campers are signed out on both
Saturday and Sunday. Those who are not signed out remain under the supervision of the counselors. Organized
activities are not planned for this time.
1. Sign-out times are Saturdays after morning activities until after dinner and Sundays after the church service
until after dinner (from approximately 11:45 am until 6:00 pm).
2. If the camper is signed out until 6:00 pm, it is expected that before returning to camp, the child will have eaten
dinner. If you wish your child eat dinner at camp, they must return by 5:00 pm.
3. When a camper is signed out, he/she must at all times remain under the direct supervision of the adult who
signed him/her out.
4. A camper can only be signed out by his or her parent(s) or an adult designee of the parent(s). The designee
must be at least 21 years old, trustworthy, responsible, and well known to the parent(s). The designees must
understand and agree to follow the sign-out rules.
5. The camper must be present at Teikas to be signed out and again to be signed back in to camp.
6. Sign-out at times other than those designated above is allowed ONLY with the prior knowledge of the Camp
Director. Acceptable reasons to be signed out at other times include: American /Canadian school obligations,
special family events, or medical appointments.
7. While a camper is signed out of camp during regular camp hours, he or she may not remain anywhere in
Garezers territory and may not participate in any camp activities.

camp rules. These rules are in effect from the Opening Ceremony to the Closing Ceremony of the camp
session.
3.

4.
Both the sign-out designee and I fully understand the GBN sign-out rules as well as the GBN discipline
rules, and promise to follow them.
5.
I know this designee well, know his/her full name and completely trust him/her with my child.
