Student Blog: YCC

Hi, my name is Eitan. I’m writing about my summer camp, YCC. Here are some reasons why I would recommend going here!

YCC has a blob.The blob is something that launches you in the water. The blob is in the lake. 

YCC puts people from different schools in the same bunk. I have made friends from Montreal and Ottawa (that I didn’t know from OJCS). 

YCC has a variety of sports such as wrestling, pickleball, soccer and so much more. My favourite sport at camp is wrestling. There is a big arena / dome / cabin that has mats for wrestling. 

YCC has free seating in the dining hall. That means you get to sit wherever you want. I can sit with people that are not in my bunk. 

At YCC, we have movie nights where you get to stay up late. 

When you arrive at camp, we get pictures taken and you meet your bunk. 

At YCC, you get tuck. Tuck is once or twice a week and you can pick chips or twizzlers for an extra snack! 

You can also bring anything gum related..which includes, mentos, ice breakers, tic tacs, and gum balls. 

I have been at YCC for 2 years. My first year, I did the weekender and last year I was there for 2 weeks. This summer, I am going back for 2 weeks… and maybe stay for 3 weeks if I want. I hope that we get marshmallows at the campfire this summer. 

Here are some pictures.

Student Blogger: My Hobby Is…

One of our November BINGO tasks was to create a poster about a hobby and present it to the class. This week, one of our students presented her poster on reading! For the privacy of the child, please do not use her name in the comments. Below is the script from her presentation.


The title is… I like reading!

You could make books about your life and you can make books into movies like Harry Potter. If you read more, the faster you get. In non-fiction books you learn facts and other people can make books about your life. Fiction books make you imagine. Reading gives us quiet time and it makes you smarter.

(Question from the class) What are your favourite books to read?

I like reading Harry Potter, The Babysitters Club, Evil Spy School, and Babysitters Little Sister.

(Question from the class) How did you get interested in reading?

When I started reading in Grade 2, I got into it a lot more. I started with the Owl Diaries books.
