Camp in July

The Explorer program provides campers with a wide and balanced array of activities, each led by a certified educator or specialist.

The Explorer Program allows young Explorers to sample many new activities! From Origami to Digital Music to Forest School, campers will broaden their horizons over two weeks, taking the time to practice and get familiar with their new skills.

Explorers will be guided through the day by a trained Counsellor who animates and supervises their downtimes. This allows campers to get to know each other better and create meaningful relationships, as well as go at their own pace in a less structured environment.

Daily Schedule

The Explorer’s day is divided into four separate periods, punctuated by recreation and social time breaks. Explorer activities from recent years include: Digital Music, Animation, Photography, Robotics, Woodworking, Comics and Forest School.

During lunch, Explorers will take a trip to Trenholme Park and will on occasion escape the heat by visiting a nearby splash pad. Bathing suits and towels are not required every day; a message will be sent to you by your child’s Counsellor.

Camp in August

In August, we offer smaller sessions of summer activities at the Learning Lab (6591 Somerled Ave in NDG). They run for one week each, and focus on specific topics, allowing campers to explore the subject in depth and create impressive projects.

Daily Schedule

Every day, campers will dive into a variety of workshops centered around the week’s theme. Mornings are spent learning new skills, which are then put to use in exciting projects during the afternoon. Campers will have the chance to work on individual projects and collaborate with fellow campers in team activities.

At lunch, campers spend some time outdoors at the nearby park, occasionally cooling down at the Splash Pad. Our Junior campers will also enjoy plenty of break time throughout the day to socialize, play, and recharge for more fun-filled activities.

The Explorers are outside for a minimum of two hours, with an hour and a half for lunch and two fifteen-minute recesses throughout the day. Some of the activities, such as Forest School, will take place mostly outside (La Falaise Saint-Jacques), so the campers have the chance to enjoy the summer sunshine! Please remember to pack a sun hat, water bottle and sunscreen (and insect repellent if needed), as well as comfortable walking or running shoes.

No, Explorer campers do not get to choose their own schedule. The Explorer schedules are designed to give campers a chance to experience a wide and balanced array of activities and introduce them to interests they might not have had an opportunity to explore just yet!
