Our summer daycamp is a full-day, play-based recreation program designed to foster friendships and encourage play through group activities and games. Please note, this is not a licensed child care program.Each week, campers will go on outings throughout the lower mainland (e.g., swimming, ice skating, parks), traveling by a combination of public transit, charter bus, and/or on foot. This action-packed camp offers a variety of activities, including games, sports, dance, and crafts. Staff members are primarily between the ages of 18 and 22. The program has a staff-to-participant ratio of 1:10, with additional support from youth volunteers. We meet in the Auditorium (for ages 6-8) and the Basement (for ages 9-12), both of which can be loud, open spaces with fluorescent lighting. Children are required to bring a backpack containing a snack, lunch, water bottle, sunscreen, a hat, and closed-toe shoes.To ensure all campers have a positive experience, we provide daily visual schedules and offer a quiet corner and sensory tools.
