Camp is an important life-changing experience for youth, and truly a Canadian tradition. Millions of campers of all ages across Canada attend camp each summer, and some attend camp programs in all seasons! At camp, campers are supervised by trained staff who guide them through physical activities like sports and other active play, crafts, music and dance and more!
Camp is a safe and positive environment, where campers get to play and have fun. Campers are provided enriching opportunities to develop life skills like resilience, responsibility, independence, and self-confidence!
