Camps & Summer Programs
(5-14 years)
​
Summer Licensed Programs (3.8 – 12 years)
We offer full day licensed summer programs for kindergarten and school-age at several locations throughout Durham Region. These programs are licensed under the CCEYA (Child Care and Early Years Act) and provide children with fun, engaging activities like group games and sports, creative arts, active outdoor play and neighbourhood excursions to parks and splash pads. These programs are a great choice for children who benefit from the familiarity of their neighbourhood school and community.
​
Our camp programs are supervised by an experienced SPC supervisor, summer camp and community development. Programs are led by camp counsellors and program coordinators who are carefully screened, selected and trained. Our camp team participates in a variety of training opportunities including High Five® Principles of Healthy Child Development, and they fully trained in First Aid and CPR.​

March Break Outdoor Day Camp (8-12 years)
Join us at Claremont Nature Centre for a fun-filled day (or five!!!) of adventure in the great outdoors! This program is perfect for your outdoor enthusiast who is eager to explore the forest, participate in active games and team building activities, create natural art masterpieces, build shelters, and cook tasty camp treats over a fire they worked with others to build! If we are lucky to have snow, be prepared for fun snow-inspired programming.
