JUNIOR PROGRAM

A Whole New World to Discover!

What's the Junior Program?

The Junior Program is designed as a stepping stone for young campers to take their first step into the world of enriching learning! 

For many of our campers, this is their first time coming to camp, so our experienced Junior Activity Leaders provide a structured, safe environment and gentle guidance. Creative, themed programming gives them the space to explore and learn more about the world around them. The Junior Program prepares campers to enter Kindergarten or Grade 1 and is designed to inspire enthusiasm for learning and exploring.

Each Junior Activity Leader introduces an age-appropriate theme during the camper’s first day at camp. Previous years’ themes include Outer Space, Ancient Egypt, Safari, The Ocean, All Around the World, and many more. Throughout the two weeks, campers participate in multidisciplinary activities like arts and crafts and cooking, designed to broaden their knowledge of the Session’s theme.

What's in a Day?

All of our groups are led by a qualified teacher who is aided by one of our Young Leaders. They start the morning with music, science and physical education activities led by specialists. Campers also go outside daily – weather permitting. The Junior Program stays together throughout most of the day, eating lunch and taking trips to the park all together. Theme-based activities are interspersed throughout for a dynamic, lively camp day that they can’t wait to share afterwards!
