Camp Descriptions

Avast there, me hearties! There be treasure to find by bus, bike, hike or swim – no carrrs allowed! This scavenger hunt takes us through forrrests, beaches, farrrms and parrrks to discover the amazing world of enerrrrrgy! Where does it come from? Where is it hidden? Secret clues will have us making balloon rockets, building mini solar-cars and becoming energy buccaneers who are planet-saving savvy!

Tier 2
FUN on Stage
Age: 6-16

Your love of acting and your love for the planet take centre stage with thinking-on-your-toes improv, a backstage tour of a professional theatre production and an awesome eco-themed play created by you and your fellow FUN Campers! Come explore how playing pretend can make the real world a better place!

Artsy FUN
Age: 6-16

Whether you’re good with a brush and canvas or prefer making sculptures from stuff you find, at Artsy FUN we’ll draw inspiration from Mother Nature. A visit to a local gallery, photography, wood-carving and fabric painting will all be part of the palette this week. So mix it up, create some art and learn how your masterpieces can create social change and share your passion for the planet!

Tier 3
FUN on the Edge
Age: 7-16

Would you rather be scaling an indoor rock-climbing wall than sitting around at home? Us too! Explore the awesomeness on the edges around us – from wading through tide pools to whooshing down a zipline.  Push yourself to your edge by learning to rock climb and test your limits with a visit to WildPlay! Our earth is amazing and we’ll help keep it healthy so we’ll always have a place to play.

FUN Builder
Age: 6-16

Do you take things apart to see how they work? Make it rather than buy it? Come make cool stuff that’s eco-friendly too. Build and race your own mini solar-car, construct a house for some hard-working bees and learn how people are making their own homes from what you’d least expect (horse manure? Yeah! Horse manure!). You may even learn to fix up your bicycle!

Tier 4
FUN World of Water
Age: 6-16

What could be more FUN than water in the summertime? Go for a swim with your fellow splashy campers or cool down on the slip and slide! This week will be full of water-ific delights! Discover the beauty of our local waterways through aquatic adventures like paddle-boarding, sea kayaking and canoeing and learn how to protect the water you love so much! For an added thrill head out into the big blue sea and meet the amazing creatures who frolic beneath the surface on a FUN whale watching adventure!

Animal Lovin' FUN
Age: 6-16

Join other animal-lovers as we meet everything from teeny tiny bugs to massive whales, and the adorable dogs, cats, horses and more in between. Help care for rescue animals and discover how birds of prey help keep wildlife in balance. Protecting the planet means protecting its creatures! A visit to a stable, a ride on a horse and a whale-watching expedition will all be part of this awesome animal week!
