Get Trendy With Me! (Ages 11-13)
Welcome to the most on-trend program of the summer, specifically designed for tweens who are hungry for new things and adventure. Every day, campers will decide what trend to explore, whether it’s a popular Netflix series, a TikTok dance that’s all the rage, or a must-try recipe. Counsellors will adapt programming in real time to offer a dynamic and totally immersive experience, where every day is filled with surprises and innovation.
But that’s not all. In addition to diving into the hottest trends, participants will learn how to navigate the digital world safely through awareness-raising activities on cybersecurity and the responsible ways to use digital platforms. Special outings will set the tone for the week while active periods will get participants moving and adopting healthy lifestyle habits. Campers will also get to express themselves and develop their sense of engagement through creative workshops and community projects, while fun financial literacy activities will teach them the basics of sound money management.
The program has plenty of surprises in store as themes are kept secret until the last minute to gauge the mood of the day. This summer promises to be unforgettable: one full of fun, discovery, and learning where your tweens will always be at the heart of the action.

Companion Program (Ages 5–12)
Our Companion Program aims to offer all children a fun, positive and safe camp experience. We believe that every child is entitled to proper support and understanding, and we strive to successfully include campers with different needs and diverse abilities. We do so by using our inclusive approach when handling unexpected behaviour at camp, as well as by providing companions to children who may need additional support to fully participate in camp life.
Our camp environment provides children with different needs a stimulating and inclusive camp experience, filled with opportunities to create meaningful connections with other. This same environment also provides an opportunity for all to learn how to accept and embrace everyone’s differences, strengths, and individuality.
