Summer Day Camps

220 Fairford St EMoose Jaw, SK S6H 6H2T: (306) 692-0688

Summer camp remains one of the few places where young people can unplug from technology and focus on active play,

creative expression, and explore the natural environment! This year we are taking our summer day camps to Wakamow Park! This new location presents so many great opportunities

such as canoeing, exploring trails, hosting crafts and sports activities and swimming at our local outdoor pool. It’s a great combo of the great outdoors while enjoying some comforts of

home such as plumbing, tap water and city amenities. We plan to do some excursions and implement some great themes for each week - watch for those to be posted on our website!

Parents will pick up and drop off campers at Wakamow.
