Sugar Creek Camp
2001/2002 Recipient
It is the goal of Sugar Creek Camp to intervene
in the cycle of poverty. Through positive intervention-education,
recreation and life skills, Sugar Creek Camp hopes to provide a
model for positive and productive living. By providing the appropriate
foundation, children will have the necessary tools to make positive
life choices before they turn to negative forms of acceptance and
behavior. Sugar Creek Camp would like to request your support for
our Year 2001 Summer Camp Programs. Along with traditional camp
activities, Sugar Creek campers participate in a wide variety of
educational programs designed to promote positive living and life
guides for success.
Literacy Program: Realizing that the key
to success is proficiency in literacy, Sugar Creek Camp offers a
literacy component with all camp programs. The program works in
conjunction with the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library System;
the Reading is FUNdamental program and Scholastic Book Fair. Sugar
Creek campers are provided with confidence building programs to
enhance their educational skills.
Challenge Course: Realizing that the key
to peaceful co-existence is the ability to learn to live in community
with one another, Sugar Creek Camp provides age appropriate Challenge
Courses. Designed by the Central Oklahoma Christian Camp, Challenge
Courses allow children to participate in a teamwork-oriented program
designed to build self-confidence and promote cooperation. Success
with the Challenge Courses can be directly related to overcoming
obstacles in their own life and give campers a sense of empowerment.
Conflict Resolution/Peer Mediation: Realizing
that many of the children served by Sugar Creek Camp have never
experienced the side of life where problems are settled peacefully,
Sugar Creek Camp provides conflict resolution skills that allow
children to express their feelings and needs ina safe and appropriate
manner. By working together with appropriate problem solving approaches,
children develop the necessary skills and compassion to succeed
in life.
The above-mentioned components along
with the traditional camp activities provide for a well-rounded
program designed to promote positive living. Sugar Creek Camp is
a place where children, some for the very first time, can experience
the great outdoors and begin to understand that working in community
with others, eating three meals a day and knowing what to expect
and what is expected of them can be a reality. Sugar Creek Camp
is a dream come true and a wonderful life changing experience.
