Township of South Frontenac Recreation Service Fee and Facility Allocation Strategy - Invitational Survey of Parks and Facilities User Groups and Event Organizers Statement of Public Intent The following questionnaire is intended to survey those organizations, groups, and in some case individuals that book time in the Township’s various facilities, including all recreation-buildings, parks, sports fields and courts. This survey is exclusive to recreation services and facilities. It does not pertain to any other charges, fees, services or facilities offered by the Township. This questionnaire asks you to share the experience of your group with respect to the following key matters: How your group uses facilities? The ease of booking time in parks and facilities through the Township; Satisfaction with the facilities that you use; and Your opinions on the fees that should be charged for different kinds of recreation service provided by the Township. The survey is restricted to those groups that rent or otherwise use the Township’s facilities for the purpose of running athletic, social, community or other programs, organizing community events, as well as those individuals or groups that rent space for private functions.
Why is this information needed? How will it help the Township? The Township’s 10-year Recreation Strategy was completed in 2022, a key recommendation of which was to review the Township’s procedures, common practices, and by-laws which govern the allocation of time at its facilities and the imposition or otherwise of fees. The resulting study will recommend how new policies can ensure that access to facilities is fair and equitable, fees are reasonable and offer value for money, and the level of services provided by the Township meets the growing needs of the community.
Confidentiality Maintained Individual responses to this survey will not be published. The results of this survey will be aggregated and used to inform the recommendations and the final report to Council. Individual responses to this survey will not be published. We want to hear from you as a leader. Only one response per group desired.
Page 7 of 30
The survey will be open from May 23 to June 23, 2023. Please take 10 – 15 minutes to share your thoughts with us. We appreciate your participation in completing this survey!

To: Recreation Committee Prepared by: Public Services Department Date of Meeting: May 25, 2023 Subject: Summer Program Updates and Recommendations for 2024
Summary Day Camp registration opened on March 20th, 2023. Registration for Swimming Lessons were postponed due to staffing and recruitment challenges. This report provides information and updates to the committee regarding both programs and provides recommendations to provide to Council for program expansions for 2024.
Recommendation That the Recreation & Leisure Services Advisory Committee provide the following recommendation to Council: That Council approve the expansion of the Day Camp program to the McMullen Beach Site with space for 25 campers for 2024, That Council endorse the extension of the recruitment and retention plan for qualified Swim Instructors and Lifeguards into 2024.
Background The Township’s popular waterfront summer camp is a community tradition. Day camp is currently offered at two locations, The Point Park in Sydenham, and Gilmour’s Point Beach in Battersea. The McMullen Beach Site was used for Day Camp and Swimming Lessons in the past, but due to low registration numbers, the Day Camp was discontinued. Swimming Lessons have been offered as a standalone program, in conjunction with the Day Camp program for many years. For the past two years, due to impacts of the pandemic, recruiting qualified swim instructors and lifeguards has been an extreme challenge. In 2022, program restructuring was forced due to recruitment challenges, and in 2023, registration for the Swim Program was postponed due to the lack of staff.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Summer Program Updates and Recommendations for 2024
The response to Camp registration was overwhelming. All spaces filled up at Sydenham Point on the morning of the first day, and by mid-week at Gilmour’s Point. Registration numbers are capped for camps to ensure ratios exceed provincial legislation, as well as to maintain a high level of program quality and care.
There are 280 camper-spots available at Sydenham Point Park (35 campers per week for eight weeks). o At its highest point, there are 52 campers on the waitlist for week six at Sydenham Point Park at the time of writing this report. All other weeks are comparably high. There are 200 camper-spots available at Gilmour’s Point Park (25 campers per week for eight weeks). o At its highest point, there are 18 campers on the waitlist at Gilmour’s Point Park at the time of writing this report. All other weeks are comparably high.
New to the Day Camp program this year is a Before and After Care program at both sites, and a Shuttle Bus Service running daily from Verona, stopping at Sydenham before heading to Battersea, with a return trip in the afternoon. Both services have been very well received and there are participants for each service during each week of camp. For 2024, expanded programming should be considered to better meet the demand of the community for high-quality, affordable summer youth experiences. Postal codes of participants indicate that many participants are coming from the west side of the Township, including a large number in Harrowsmith. As McMullen Beach and Park is well positioned to offer a similar beach-front program and has a camp facility, a third site should be considered to take the pressure off Sydenham Point and Gilmour’s Point camp sites. As well, the completion of the court project at the camp, there are exciting sport-camp opportunities at that site. If an additional 25 camp capacity were to be made available over the eight weeks of camp, there would be an additional 200 camper-spots open. Swim Program Due to the extreme challenges with regards to recruiting swim staff, registration for the program was postponed. Recruitment initiatives included offering a reimbursement for staff to obtain or re-obtain their certificates, increasing wages to be more competitive with neighbouring municipalities, and the use of social media, schools, and employment agencies to help get the word out about our need for instructors. Recruitment has been somewhat successful. Staff are currently reviewing staffing levels and are developing a plan to roll out swim lesson registration for 2023. The program will be modified, and registration numbers will be reduced compared to pre-pandemic levels. The estimated timeline for registration is late May and into June.

Township of South Frontenac Staff Report - Summer Program Updates and Recommendations for 2024
For 2024, the training reimbursement, competitive wages, and other initiatives should be extended while the industry employment trends continue to correct themselves after the pandemic.
Financial Implications As the Township Day Camps are subsidized by the municipality, the expansion of the program to add a third site at McMullen Beach will have financial implications that should be reviewed for the 2024 operating budget cycle.
