Seasonal Camp Programs at Inside Out Nature Centre

 Absolutely! When planning activities for each week, we strive to ensure activities appeal to all campers. Activities are based on the interests of campers 5-12 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.

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.

There is always at least one staff member on duty that has Wilderness First AID training and standard  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.
