West Grey summer camp (Fun in Nature Summer Camp) 

The Municipality of West Grey and Elephant thoughts are excited to be offering the Fun in Nature Summer Camp for a Second Year!

Registration is full for the summer. To add your camper(s) to the wait list click here

Each week at camp will be chock full of fun in nature! Each day, campers aged 5-12 will be participating in a variety of hands-on science activities and nature-based adventures; some of these include stream/pond studies, rolling around in body zorbs, learning compass and map skills on our orienteering course, launching water rockets, robotics and coding, cooking with guest chefs, and much more!

Throughout the week campers will be given the opportunity to explore the 130+ acres of property Riverstone Eco. Retreat has to offer! There are bound to be new surprises every day on property!

*Campers will be divided into two groups / cohorts at time of registration (group A or B). Please enroll in your desired group at time of registration. Attending camp with a friend? No problem! Just enroll in the same group as them. Please note, due to privacy reasons we are not able to disclose participant enrolment. Please check with the other parents / guardians for their camper(s) cohort if you would like for multiple campers to be in the same group

Camp runs Monday through Friday (with the exception of August 1, 2022) 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. with extended care available between 8 a.m. – 9 a.m. If extended care is required, please enroll for the desired week at time of registration.

Given the subsidized nature of the camp, we kindly ask that all campers enroll in a maximum of one week per camper to give everyone the chance to attend. Enrollment in multiple weeks will result in withdrawal from the program and return of payment, subject to administration fees. Additional weeks may be requested here

Registration opens Wednesday March 30, 2022 at 9:00 a.m.
