Our summer camps offer a variety of outdoor activities from 9am to 4pm daily with six one-week long sessions typically kicking off the Monday following Canada Day each summer. Cost is $350/week
What to expect?
We offer a wide range of activities such as: lake swimming and canoeing (once a week at Jerry Lawrence), campfires (Fall River), plant identification, catch and release fishing (Jerry Lawrence), hiking, geocaching, knot tying, animal observations, yoga, loose parts play, crafting, tree climbing, wading, frog catching, storytelling, and learning simple hand tools (whittling, fire safety).
