Summer Programs

Summer Drop-in Days – 9:30am – 2:30pm (before and after care available)

While every camp day includes plenty of outdoor play, exploration, free time, and group activities, each of our summer drop-in days features a unique theme that takes centre stage. These themed days give campers the opportunity to dive deeper into a favorite interest while still enjoying all the outdoor adventures, friendships, and fun that make camp special.

Slime Day – Monday July 13th

Get ready to mix, stretch, squish, and experiment! Slime Day is all about hands-on creativity and sensory fun. Campers will explore different slime recipes, test out exciting ingredients, and create their own unique slime creations to take home. Along the way, we’ll discover a little bit of the science behind what makes slime so fascinating.

Crafter’s Day – Monday July 27th

A day for makers, creators, and imaginative minds. Campers will spend the day exploring a variety of hands-on art and craft projects using different materials and techniques. From nature-inspired creations to colourful take-home projects, Crafter’s Day is all about creativity, self-expression, and having fun making something uniquely your own.

Field Games Day – Monday Aug 10th

Run, laugh, and play! Field Games Day is packed with active outdoor fun, friendly challenges, and team-based games. Campers will participate in a variety of classic camp games, relay races, cooperative challenges, and outdoor activities designed to get everyone moving, working together, and having a great time. Whether you’re competitive or just in it for the fun, there’s something for everyone.

Crafty Creators Long Sword – TBD

In Crafty Creators – Halberd, your child will build a medieval-inspired halberd using durable kid-friendly materials.

Uncover the history of the halberd, a unique weapon that combined a spear and axe into one formidable tool used by medieval soldiers. Kids will craft their own version of this iconic weapon, learning that halberds were so effective in battle that they were used to defend royal guards for centuries!

At the end of class, kids can participate in an optional ‘battle’ to test their creations in a cooperative, friendly environment.
