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.
