Campers have the opportunity to sign up for their preferred land or water activities at check-in day. To help campers decide, they have the opportunity to meet the activity instructors and find out more about the activity options. All campers are guaranteed one of their top two activity choices and given their second or third choice based on activity demands. Activities fill on a first come first serve basis.
During the week, experienced instructors lead the activities with the support of section counsellors. Instructional sessions are skill based, age appropriate and fun. Campers achieve certificates that acknowledge their progress and/or participation in each activity.
