Since 1993, the CRCA has offered summer day camps. Although our camps have changed over the years, we have maintained a focus on learning about nature and the outdoors.

Our summer camps are run by enthusiastic and well-qualified instructors.

In 2010, we are offering a Nature Explorers Camp for children aged 6 to 11. The Wilderness Backpacking Experience for youth aged 12 to 14 will not be offered in 2010. Instead, we will be offering leadership-in-training opportunities.

Nature Explorers Camp

This week-long day camp for children aged 6 to 11 is a great way for your children to learn about nature and the outdoors. The Nature Explorers Camp runs weekly during July and August.

There are a maximum of 24 campers each week. You may register your children for a maximum of two weeks.

Home base for the Nature Explorers Camp is the Outdoor Centre at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area. Each session features two weekly trips to Gould Lake Conservation Area.

Each week has a theme which includes guest speakers as well as outdoor activities and games.
