Camp Descriptions
Although specific details will vary based on the particular theme, each camp will include fun activities like hiking, exploring, tee-shirt making, growing sprouts, building a sustainable city from recycled materials, active games, solitude and gratitude time and coming up with a passion project that they have a chance to share at the Friday afternoon mini-Gala! There will also be swimming at a nearby pool one afternoon per week!!
Tier 1
Food FUN
Age: 6-16
Who says you can’t play with your food? Try growing your own sprouts from seed, cooking an eco-pizza, or heating up brownies in your self-created solar oven! The amount of FUN you will have with food this week is a real treat! A visit to a local farm is on the menu as well as trying your hand at gardening. Who knew that you could grow, cook and eat your way to a better world?
FUN Marks the Spot
Age: 6-16
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 exploring the forest canopy. Push yourself to your edge by learning to rock climb and test your limits with edgy challenges and games! 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!
