CAMPS FOR KIDS - OVERVIEW

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CAMPBELL RIVER’S SUMMER CAMPS…

Campbell River has everything you need for the best summer yet…

Registration

For some of our camps, you will need to complete and return a registration package for your child before the first session. Please return packages to your registration site and let us know well in advance if your child has any special needs.

Skills Development and Learning – with an Emphasis on Fun!

Kids just want to have fun and they should! They learn and grow through play. Creative arts, the challenge of games, sports and outdoor activities, opportunities for self-expression and exploration are vital to their development. The value of play to a child’s growth is the foundation of all our camps .

Variety to Suit your Childs Interests

Specialties – geared to your child’s interests and skills Ages – preschool, school age and youth programs Schedules – full and part days and weeks Locations – from the Sportsplex, to Hagle Park, Sybil Andrews, the Community Centre and Haig Brown Site, camps are based out of and visit many, indoor and outdoor locations in and around Campbell River.

You may need to stay for a few minutes on the first day so our staff can ensure your child is signed in and we have all of the required information from you. Please feel free to stay until your child is comfortably settled and we have answered any questions you may have.

Our summer camps have excellent camp leaders who are chosen for their experience, abilities and dedication. Our staff team is committed to ensuring a safe and fun day camp experience for your child. Children are fully supervised throughout the day. Facilities and outdoor spaces are checked for dangers. Leaders are trained in first aid, accident prevention and emergency procedures. Your child’s safety is our priority.

For full-day camps, your child needs to bring a knapsack packed with a lunch and snacks, water bottle, a hat, spray on sunscreen and a change of clothes. Half day camps should bring snacks, water bottle, hat and spray on sunscreen. Depending on the camp, additional items may be required. You will receive information about this on the first day of camp. Please remember to label all belongings!
