Camp Chaplin:
TBA
Toldeo, OH
is a
"Next
Level"
camp: it is open to those entering
the 9th grade in the fall of
2012 and older.
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.
