Family Day Arts & Crafts

Our approach 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. See Program Example   Weekly themes An educational theme weaves a common thread through each activity. Featured themes include: ‘Lost In Space’ ‘Color Me Happy’ ‘Zootopia’ ‘Lights, Camera, Hollywood!’ ‘Green Thumb, Green Planet’ and more.   Badge-system At the end of each week, the group reflects on and recognizeseach camper with treats and badges, honoring the skills acquiredand behaviours demonstrated towards their peers.   Special Events We mix up the regular schedule with activities that not onlyfoster new skills and collaboration, but turn up the fun! • Luau Lemonade Stand• Gone Camping• Carnival Games• Camp’s Got Talent show• ‘Amazing Race’ scavenger hunt• Themed Celebrations & Costumes
