Summer Safari Day Camp Senior (9-12) - Week 10

Prepare for a summer filled with fun and adventure! Out activities will include indoor and outdoor sports, cooperative games, arts & crafts, and special guests! We’ll embark on 3-4 field-trips each week, travelling by public transit, charter bus or by foot to explore the city and the great outdoors. Parents/Guardians will receive an email with the Parent Communication/Policy manual and forms before camp, detailing camp expectations and guidelines. Children must have completed kindergarten and be eligible for grade 1, to register for camp.

Day Camps generally include 3-4 fun and engaging outings each week for children of varying ages and interests, offering a blend of sensory-rich and imaginative experiences. Participants will explore bustling urban areas, learn about their environment, and take part in different activities that promote social connection, adventure, and physical activity.

This daycamp is held in various multipurpose rooms within the Centre including the Gym, games room, and room B. The weekly schedule also includes going to local pools, play centres and more! The sensory environment may include loud noises, bright lights, or crowded spaces. Staff prepare a daily visual schedule to help campers know what to expect for the day. Sensory resource kits may be available. The day camp space includes a chill-out zone and a low-sensory area, with staff working to provide quiet breaks in low-stimulation zones.

Program staff are typically post-secondary students with diverse interests and levels of experience, and generally between 18 and 22 years old. This program has a staff-to-participant ratio of 1:10, with additional support from youth volunteers.
