With a family’s backyard and surrounding neighbourhood as the backdrop for camp, we provide a safe and personalized alternative to crowded summer day camps.
A weekly schedule is curated for a select group of 3-6 campers, based on their ages and interests.
A certified educator or experienced camp counselor is matched and dedicated exclusively to the group. All Camp Leaders are CPR certified.
We offer
Daily programming
A 5 1⁄2 hour daily program is designed just for you and includes 5 main activity blocks: Art & Design, STEM & Nature, Sports & Water Play, Performing Arts and Wellness, as well as many special events and experiences.All supplies provided.
