 Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 10:24 pm Post subject: Setting up a summer camp in Vancouver |
 |
|
Has anyone done it? I have worked at summer camps before and have experience doing it, but have never done it on my own. I want to have it for the month of August.
I was thinking I would rent out a school/church and then get some homestays or rent out a camp on the ocean.
Any ideas/suggestions/weblinks for the following?
1. curriculum,
2. activities,
3. weekends,
4. games,
5. insurance,
Thanks! |

| Just a note to any newbies: Fiveeagles is more than likely setting up a religious programme, the primary motive of which is proselytising. If that's what your interested in, fine, but as someone who took Korean kids to Vancouver last summer I'm passing givien past posting history. |

What if it is? Why would you care? Many of the kids in Korean are Christian. So chance would have it that many would like a christian program.
Anyway, it's a secular program for ESL. |

Actually that's the reason why I don't care about your programme, and why others probably won't care to add anything to the list. You've consistantly proven yourself an obnoxious Christian of the variety whose endeavours most people wouldn't care to support in any way.
I recently took a flight back from HK and ended up seated next to a Baptist minister from Texas. You would think that would be a recipe for disaster, but we had a very pleasant conversation over several hours and I found him quite an interesting guy. He has a church in Seoul and shouldn't be too hard to track down. Perhaps you could meet him and get some tips on how not to make Christianity look so unpleasant. |

| By the way, I see you already got a completely benign post mocking your programme removed. Why are Christians like you so helplessly sensitive? |

I think ENDO removed it on his own accord. I didn't say a thing. Too bad for you, because I'm sure you would love to have your image of "sensitive Christians' promulgated. 
So anyone out there with good ideas or has Yu_Bum_Suk done his damage? |

Hey fiveeagles how's about you taking that skanky ad off of your location. What is it that makes you think it's ok for you to advertise here while the rest of the world has to pay to use the service and post their ads in the appropriate section of this site?
I don't think it's YBS that's doing the damage, you seem to have a little trouble with tact. |

The idea of education polluted by religious themes revolts me. Children should not be subjected to drivel coming from a book of superstition, which they are then told is 'the truth'. Such a shackling of the mind is abusive, subverts a child's curiosity regarding the natural world, and leads to attitudes that are inflexible and exclusive.
Religion. Just say, "No." |

Wow, what a fantastic thread. I mean, the civility here is overwhelming.
Or at least ask nicely. Is that possible?
