Haida Gwaii Recreation is excited to bring back our Summer Day Camps for their 42nd year! These camps offer a full week of fun activities for your child/ren ages 5 to 12 years. We want kids to have fun as they create, explore, make new friendships, learn to be part of a team, and more!
WHAT TO EXPECT AT CAMPS THIS SUMMER
In our camps, we combine a weekly theme with fun activities that include sport, art, and getting outside, along with healthy snacks & engaging workshops delivered by local instructors (Camp Specialists). NEW in 2022 – we are committed to reducing our consumption & including more environmental stewardship and sustainability in all we do. Join us as we transition to reducing consumption, getting outside more, supporting active transport, and reduce, reuse, recycle!
We have two themes for in-person camps this year:
Week 1: Blast from the Past
Campers will stretch their imagination & be transported back to the Middle Ages and Renaissance! Activities at this camp will emphasize using one’s hands to create, upcycle & learn skills essential skills of the medieval era & beyond. From sculpting and paper making, to archery and jousting with pool noodles, calligraphy, art, theatre, and more – you can bet we’ll be spending our summer exchanging ideas, expanding our minds, and enjoying all that life has to offer!
Week 2: An Eye on the Sky
Learn more about air and space in this camp as we talk about climate, astronomy, & Campers will be given their first taste of space! We will take a “mini trip” to outer space on a hunt for Moon Rocks, and we’ll even sample the food astronauts eat. The focus of this camp includes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) that quench our thirst for knowledge, while including lessons on local climate action & space stewardship. Each day will also include a hearty dose of outdoor play in the fresh air!
