About the Week!

Throughout the week, all campers will get the chance to participate in a wide range of different activities both outdoors and indoors.

Between cross country skiing, snowshoeing, broomball, tobogganing, high ropes, low ropes, drumming, fire building, arts and crafts, games, and much more. Campers will sure be busy! 

As weather and snow conditions are pretty unpredictable over the week, activities will be adjusted accordingly. The group of campers is small so we are happy to customize the schedule to camper requests too! 

We ask that campers come prepared with clothing and gear appropriate for changing conditions that day. 

Camp runs from 8:00am - 5:00pm each day.

 

Cost:

$385 (no HST) per camper (For ages 7 - 13)

The key to a great winter experience is being toasty warm all day! Our suggested packing list above gives you an idea of what you'll need to be best prepared for the week. In general, synthetic or wool base layers are ideal, and anything 'moisture wicking' will get the job done! Synthetic fleece or wool mid layers will keep your body heat where you want it, while a waterproof outer layer will keep out the elements. Remember you'll want to spend as much time outside as possible!
