Program Hours 

The program hours vary between 8:30am-3:30pm.  Early drop off before camp start time is not permitted. Program start times are set so that the staff are able to set-up and be well prepared to have fun with the camper(s) for the day.

Our Camp Leaders 

A caring leader is an essential component in ensuring a positive day camp experience for your child.  Our leaders are fun, knowledgeable, energetic and personally invested in ensuring a successful camp experience.

All of our staff have been through a thorough screening process including a criminal screening check.  All staff are certified in first aid and receive specific training on running camps and recreation programs. Our staff are trained on topics such as program planning, understanding child behavior & development, problem solving, emergency procedures, as well as practical experience such as leading cooperative games, crafts etc.
