DAY CAMP 2008

If you want to work at our camp as a counsellor, please give Sue Beatty a call at 250-248-8534. We are looking for one person to start on July 21st, 2008 - or sooner!

There are new exciting things happening at day camp this year! We are now accepting registrations for our Wildlife Camps. To avoid disappointment we recommend you register early as our camps are very popular. This year we will run the camps on July 14, 21, 28 and August 11th. Every day the camp focuses on a different animal and children will learn thru art, crafts and games. For an added twist in 2008 we will introduce Aboriginal Wildlife Folklore. The camps promise to be fun and educational too.

Our Camp Leader this year is:

Hi Everyone! I thought that I should introduce myself to you seeing as I will be getting to know all of you very well throughout the day camps. My name is Denyse and I am 26 years young. I am in process of completing my Bachelor of Education degree which I expect to graduate from in 2009. This means, I know how to disguise the learning process through fun games and hands on activities. I look forward to meeting all of you and introducing you to our resident animals. See you in camp!
