This Pre-camp Guide, made possible by an unrestricted grant from
Sepracor Inc., is designed to simplify your job of sending home important
pre-camp information to the parents of campers who will be attending
your camp.
We have included many sections that cover a wealth of information.
You may opt to use the entire guide or simply cut and paste sections that are
pertinent to your specific camp to create a brochure or pamphlet.
Here are a few samples of how you might set up your piece:
When designing your brochure, you can opt to print the pages out as they
are or make changes in font size, font type, or use some color. Or, you can
use a program such as Microsoft® Office Publisher to create more of a
professional looking product.
We would also suggest that you "liven up" your guide with some clip art
or photos. To do this, you’ll need to insert the art or photos either
from the clip art gallery that exists on your computer or go online and
download some clip art.
Here are some handy key words to use in your search for clip art:
Children |
Kids |
|
Leisure |
Sports |
|
Teens |
Camp |
|
Playing |
Outdoors |
|
Canoe |
Suitcase (for the "What to Pack" section) |
|
Swimming pools |
You may also opt to use the blank template pages (pieces of stationary)
below that you can download, print out, and then use to print your brochure
onto. They mimic the sample pages shown above. This is an easy way to create
a "designed" look to your piece without having to add your own photos, clip
art, etc.
We have supplied you with the contents of the guide in two formats. One,
as a Microsoft® Word document or if you prefer, one as a PDF file. Please
note that in order to make changes to the .pdf file you will need to have
Adobe® Acrobat Reader® software installed on your computer. If you do not
have Adobe Acrobat, then you might choose to work with the Word document
instead.
There are many areas within the guide where you can insert your camp’s
specific information. These areas are highlighted in yellow. Simply type
in your information and delete the yellow highlighted area(s). Or, if you
have nothing to insert, just delete the yellow highlighted area(s) altogether.
Finally, we would also ask that you add a line of credit somewhere in your guide
to acknowledge Sepracor Inc.’s generous grant that made this Pre-camp Guide
possible. Suggested verbiage is included on Cover Page A and Cover Page B.
HAPPY CAMPING!
