Mini-Camps at the Ecology Centre
Summer 2023
Join Ecology Centre naturalists for three days of adventures, fun and outdoor education. Mini-camps are held both indoors and outdoors, depending on the weather. Mini-camps cost $87.00 per child.
Camps are for children aged 5 to 8 or 8 to 12. Please note that all campers must be at least 5 years old and have completed kindergarten (born in 2017 or earlier). Children can be registered in a maximum of 1 camp per week and a maximum of 2 camps per summer. There are spots for 10 children in each camp.
You can get a refund for mini-camps cancelled with two or more weeks’ notice (less a $10 admin fee).
Get 15% off mini-camps and access to early registration with a Family Membership. Please purchase your membership online in advance of registration. The links to register will be sent to current family membership holders via email.
We require the signature of an Informed Consent, Release and Indemnity form for our mini-camps. Please read and sign this document prior to camp and provide it to us through email or in person on or before the first day of camp.
