WHy choose Inside out camps?

 Absolutely! When planning activities for each week, we strive to ensure activities appeal to all campers. Activities are based on the interests of campers 6 -14 years old, based on movies, TV shows, computers games or the latest craze amongst kids. All of our activities are created with both every camper in mind and most activities are outside in nature. 

We try very hard to accommodate special needs children where we can. There is no strict policy regarding special needs children as several factors depend on our ability to provide an environment suitable for them. Suitability and capabilities vary from site to site in the park. Therefore, if you have a special needs child and they wish to come to Camp, please contact us and we will review each case independently. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer 1:1 care for special needs campers.

  6-14. although some 5 year olds are permitted to attend if parents indicate they can participate in a way that does not detract from other camper’s experiences.

A typical day starts with a group activity during the half hour drop off period. Breaks are mid-way through the morning with another activity before lunch. The afternoon is set up similarly. There are scheduled breaks throughout the day for campers to have supervised free time to play. Since it is summer we do as many outside activities as possible dependent on weather, such as rain and heat. 

You can reach out to Kids and community partners to assist with your child(ren) camp registration. We suggest parents contact their local service clubs and agencies to tap into existing programs that could be applied. A call to your local MLA and MP offices could also yield positive results in some cases.

Yes, as much as possible! If Camp is completely sold out it is much easier to divide the campers into more groups. In weeks where there are a smaller number of campers attending, we may not be able to separate the campers but will have activities for mentoring opportunities.

Counsellors come from three groups: teachers, graduates of Teacher Colleges and university and college students looking for summer employment. Each counsellor has a background and experience of working with children. A recent Vulnerable Sector Police Check is a mandatory requirement for all counsellors and there will be at least one counsellor present at each camp location with their First Aid & CPR Certification at all times.

There is at least one staff member on duty that has their First Aid and CPR certification. The camp will administer medication to your child only according to written directions. We will not administer any medication without written instructions. We strongly encourage parents of children with serious health concerns such as severe allergies leading to anaphylactic shock, severe asthma, seizure disorders and diabetes, etc., to have proper identification on the camper (i.e. Medic-Alert bracelet) at all times. Campers with serious allergies are required to carry an epi-pen on their person at all times.
