Camp for at-risk youths By Tim Whitnell METROLAND WEST MEDIA GROUP Halton Regional Police Service has resurrected a summer camp to try to keep at-risk youth off the streets and create a better relationship between them and law enforcement. M.Y. Camp, which stands for Mentoring Youth Camp, is a weekday camp for 80 selected pre-teens in Halton who are in Grades 7 and 8. Police say the goal of the week-long camps is to reduce criminal and anti-social behaviour in youth through education, mentoring and relationship building with police and the community. The camp will be held at two sites. The south Halton camp is set for St. Gabriel elementary school in Burlington this week (July 12-16) while the north Halton location will be at St. Catherine of Alexandria School in Georgetown from July 19-23. There will be 40 youths at each location from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m.-4 p.m. daily. Busing is provided to the campers. There is no cost to attend the camp. It is being financed by donations of $5,000 each from the Halton 905.847.7333 or toll free 1.866.707.7333 · airport flat rates · 24 hr. service · commercial accounts · local & out-of-town · luxury sedans · weddings · proms Serving Oakville Since 2005 s r r TM edwinlimoinc@yahoo.com www.edwinlimoinc.com DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE PRICING FOR EVERYONE Safety Council and Halton police, $2,000 from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) board of directors and $1,000 from a local McDonald's restaurant operator. "It's for children who may not normally see an opportunity to go to a camp," said Sgt. Craig Platt, a member of Halton police's Community Policing unit and a supervising co-ordinator of the camp. Selection of the 80 M.Y. Camp participants was finalized in late June. Grades 7 and 8 students were recommended by principals, the Our Kids Network and the Children's Aid Society. Also, information packages were sent home to parents via the student. Platt said the camp has to be "fun and engaging" for pre-teens and new teens to maintain their interest. He said there will be some lessons provided at the camp along with guest speakers, a tour of police facilities and a community service component such as garbage and graffiti clean-up. Each camp has seven Halton police educational service officers, a police officer supervisor and six Youth In Policing Initiative (YIPI) workers aged 14-17 who must live in Halton and be returning to school in the fall. The latter assist the officers at the camp and work with the police service for eight weeks during the summer. They are paid through the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Halton Constable Bruce Hasenbacher, who liaises between the police and the community DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE PRICING FOR EVERYONE by working with the administrators and students at 18 schools in Halton, said the camp can develop the leadership potential of youth where they can take the experiences and confidence earned at the camp back to the school and community to share with their peers. "The children themselves will alter the school environment far more than an adult," he said. Hasenbacher also believes M.Y. Camp can break down barriers that exist between youth and police such as negative portrayals of law enforcement in popular rap music. "We live in a very McDonald's drive-thru society," said Hasenbacher, stressing adults need to get youngsters to slow down and encourage them to do small, positive things like helping that little old lady across the street. Burlington city councillor Carol D'Amelio, a member of the Halton Regional Police Services Board, said at the most recent police services board meeting that the youth summer camp saps policing resources during the summer but is worth it if it keeps some kids off the street. D'Amelio asked Halton police Chief Gary Crowell how they would determine if the camp is a success. "I think it's going to be something that is hard to measure, like DARE. It may be over years. We have had (youth) summer camps before and they have fallen off for one reason or another," said Crowell. 2010 CHARGER R/T ALL WHEEL DRIVE $ UNBEATABLE DEAL... UNBEATABLE VALUE!
