trigger young children’s lively imaginations and build their self-confidence.

saics. They are encouraged to invent stories, design and build models while
constantly expanding on their ideas and finding new ways to express them.

Mini Camps are Mega Fun!
With fun themes and age appropriate programming our mini camps
will keep your child active and engaged as we explore and have fun in
the sun! A great benefit to these camps is that parents have a
choice of a full day or half day camp each week (lunchtime supervision provided). We have increased our camp hours,
savings, and out-trips! Located at the Recreation Centre we will explore the neighborhood around us.
*Register early and Save! Camp fees increase by $30, the FRIDAY before the camp starts.
FEES: $90/camp or $85/camp if you register in both morning and afternoon camps.
*August 7-10 $72/camp or $67/camp if you register in both morning and afternoon camps.
Mini Tourists - We are heading out on the town to explore the many interesting and fun places in our neighborhood.
Such places may include the library, radio station and grocery store.
Mystery & Magic - This camp will keep you guessing as we explore the world of magic and solve a few mysteries!
Knights & Princesses - Get ready for dragons, tiaras, sword, shields and dancing. Activities will include jewelry making
and of course shields for the dragon slayers!
Mini Chefs - Fun with food! We will make some fun snacks and treats that you can do yourself like granola bars,
smoothies, dips and more.
Mini Olympics - An opening ceremony will kick start the week as we get Olympic! Get ready for action as we try the
Olympic sports and learn about new countries.
Treasure Hunt - Get on your explorers hat for a fun, mysterious and silly week of exploration, treasure hunts and pi-
rates!
