Summer Camps
It's that time of year again! Join us at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve for an exciting mix of Art and Nature Summer Camps!
We are offering half-day and full-day camp programs through the months of July & August. All camps are 5 days in length (excluding those adjacent to holiday weekends). Half-day camps run in the morning from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm, and afternoon from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. Register for a full-day to attend both sessions at a discounted rate (full-day campers have a supervised 30-min lunch break from 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm). The program fee for half-day camps is $200.00 per child. The full-day camp discounted rate is $350.00. Holiday 4-day weeks (July 4-7 and August 8-11) have adjusted rates of $160.00 for half-day sessions and $280.00 for full days.
Our experienced instructors include John Le Flock, who has taught at GBHNR for over 15 years, Ruby Rodier, who offers a unique combination of Yoga and Art education and bi-lingual instruction for francophone campers, and Kassa Dueck, an experienced educator, camp instructor, and biologist. Our team has a variety of programming prepared to offer children a unique opportunity to connect with the outdoors and engage with their creative sides! All camp programs are suitable for children ages 5 to 12. Campers are encouraged to work together and make friends, be creative, and ask questions throughout! See below for each week's schedule:
