The program for our youngest campers is all about play and exploration. It is a big move to join an outdoor camp so we take extra care to ensure that they feel safe, confident and comfortably challenged as they have fun.

While some kids were born kicking a ball, others are naturally gifted at music or art. Camp Treetop provides a variety of experiences ranging from sports to arts and crafts in a healthy balance of indoor and fresh air activities. Led by our dedicated camp counsellors who are familiar with issues like separation anxiety, developing self-help skills and suitable levels of assistance, Seedlings enjoy stimulating fun and meaningful experiences.

Explorers are somewhat experienced with being away from home, proud of their budding independence and ready for adventure.  This is an active, hands-on play-based program where kids “dig in” and learn about things such as the living soil, plants and have an opportunity to get up close and personal with our friendly animals. They’ll discover for themselves the interconnectedness of life on a farm.

Each day they’ll also be encouraged to try new physical challenges such as a new sport, game or adventure activity such as Scootering or horseback riding and explore the arts through crafts, dance and drumming.

Rangers are becoming more aware of their place in the world. They are at a point where they need to explore nature, understand their relationship to the environment and their impact on the world. In a program that is fun and empowering, they are challenged to explore new interests and practice or master old favourites.

Our Rangers will have a chance to spend 2 hours a day doing activities that are focused on their own preferences such as soccer, volleyball, horseback riding, art, music. We always respect individual abilities, needs and strengths.

Trailblazers, our eldest group of Treetop campers, have started to carve out their own unique identities and are very aware of what activities they enjoy doing. In this program we offer a wide variety of activities and choice so that each camper can explore their own interests while also being given opportunities to try something new.

These campers are becoming more and more independent and want this independence to shine by taking on greater responsibility and leadership roles. Each week this group will have the opportunity to work with our camp programmers to design and/or lead the camp wide event that takes place every Friday. The program is designed with a good balance of challenge and fun!
