GIRL GUIDES LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

Girl Guides of Canada, Ottawa Area is hosting the world in 
August 2001.  Yes, Odyssey 2001 is a 10-day International 
Camp that will draw participants not only from Ottawa Area 
but also from across Canada and several countries around the 
world, including Egypt, England, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, and 
the Philippines.

The camp is open to Girl Guides and Girl Scouts between the 
ages of 14 and 16 and adult participants, who have a 
commitment to the values of Guiding and who will be coming to 
Ottawa for fun, learning, adventure, and new friendships. 
They will be participating in a variety of activities that 
are planned specifically for their age group.  These include 
developing camp skills (backwoods gourmet, gigantic gadgets, 
and munching with Mother Nature), learning about active 
living (canoeing, cycling, archery, soccer and ultimate), 
exploring the National Capital Region, participating in 
"Extreme Adventures" (Whitewater rafting and river boarding), 
discovering the arts (do as the Inuit do, dancing, and tole 
painting techniques), and then learning the fine arts of 
relaxation through the sessions offered during "spa" day 
(massage therapy and Thai Chi).

The camp is expected to be attended by some 100 young women 
and some 30 adult staff who will lead sessions and keep the 
camp organized and flowing.  There is a great deal of 
excitement building as we approach the camp's opening on 
August 13, 2001.  The location of the Camp is Girl Guides of 
Canada, Ottawa Area's very own Camp Woolsey located on 
Dunrobin road in Dunrobin, Ontario by the Ottawa River.

We are still looking for experienced trainers and session 
leaders for some of our planned activities.  It has come to 
my attention that you may be able to assist us in finding 
such a resource.

We are organizing an Ultimate session and fun tournament on 
the afternoon of Sunday, August 19, 2001.  We have allocated 
2 hours and 45 minutes to the session.  Our planning concept 
for this session has been to teach the girls basic Ultimate 
rules and techniques.  Then we expect to move into a round 
robin tournament that would allow participants to practise 
what was learned and to have fun.

Since the session is very short for a tournament, we had 
envisaged mini-games similar to the youth mini-soccer format 
(7 per side - small field).  The games could be 20 minutes in 
length.  This would allow for a quasi-tournament experience 
yet emphasis the fun aspects of the game and fitness 
generally.

The Odyssey Committee would be very happy if you could assist 
us in finding a session leader(s) for this unique event.  We 
have a Guiding participant who is herself a novice at 
Ultimate, would be willing to assist on that day.  I would be 
very happy to hear from you in the near future.  I can be 
reached at 946-6586 during regular working hours or at 828-
9761 during the evening.

Yours truly,

Brigitte Zirger

Programme Committee
