6 FLYING EAGLE AND POP UP PLAYGROUND LOCATION

SUMMER PROGRAM STAFFYou will see many different summer staff in your Community Programs this summer. Everyone plays a slightly different role so to help you understand who does what, our staff will be wearing different coloured shirts. Please feel free to stop by and chat with any of them. They are all happy to answer questions about your Community Summer Programs.

Supervisors (Red Shirts):Staff in Red Shirts are Program Supervisors. They are responsible for working with our staff to ensure that summer programs meet City of Edmonton standards. Each program is visited by their Supervisor at least once a week so it’s likely that you will see them talking with our staff regularly during the summer.

Children's Program Leaders (Blue Shirts):Staff in Blue Shirts lead Children’s Programs. You’ll see them leading games, crafts and other activities in Registered Camps, Green Shack Playground Programs and Water Play Sites.

Youth Program Leaders (Orange Shirts): Staff in Orange Shirts are Youth Program Leaders. You’ll find them at our Youth Drop-in Sites and Skateboard Parks.

Flying EagleThe Flying Eagle Program is offered at a number of Green Shack Playground programs across Edmonton. Flying Eagle gives Green Shack participants an opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal teachings and traditions. A variety of activities are offered, from making dream catchers to beading to lacrosse. To find the Flying Eagle program that’s closest to your neighbourhood, please visit www.edmonton.ca/flyingeagle
