Register for Vaughan summer camps before they're full! Boredom isn't fun, camp is!
June 24, 2013
The City of Vaughan’s summer day camps for children and youth ages three to 17 start Tuesday, July 2. Parents are encouraged to register their children in their favourite camp before it is full as spaces are limited.
For over 30 years the City’s Recreation and Culture Department has delivered high-quality, safe and fun summer day camps across Vaughan, offering:
• 50 plus different indoor and outdoor camps
• one- and two-week sessions
• cross-city busing
• extended day camp from 7:30 a.m. to as late as 6 p.m.
• recreational swims, out trips, theme days, special events and performances
• one-on-one support for children with special needs
All camp staff are 16 years or older, certified in Standard First Aid and CPR, subject to a police reference check and trained in High-Five Principles of Healthy Child Development as well as program planning, managing challenging behaviour and risk management.
A complete camp listing can be found in the 2013 Spring and Summer Recreation eGuide online at www.vaughan.ca. To help parents and children choose the right camp, they are sorted by interest into categories, such as creative arts, culinary arts, leadership, outdoor adventure, performing arts, preschool, recreational, science and technology, and sports and water adventures.
New this summer are Hot Shots Art Studio, Six Strings Guitar Camp, Summer Theatre Spectacular, The Production Crew, Trip Takers Junior, We Got Game and Yabba Dabba Dance. Feature camps at exciting locations include Oradaca at Boyd Conservation Area, Canoe and Kayak at Lake Wilcox and Camp Corral at Pause Awhile Equestrian Centre.
