Day Camp Program Details

Camp McLean is the place to be this summer! Our Day Camp is an outdoor focused program, which emphasizes the development of outdoor skills, environmental awareness and wilderness exploration on the camp’s 50 acres plus we are surrounded by Campbell Valley Parks with many trails. The Day Camp is for youth ages 5 to 11 and has space for a maximum of 72 campers per week. Youth are placed according to age into a camper group supervised by trained counsellors.

Our daily program is very well balanced. The activities are selected to build outdoor skills, self-confidence, respect for others and the environment, teamwork, and of course because they are fun. Each activity is age-appropriate and takes into consideration skill levels of the youth participating. Each camper will enjoy activities within their group as well as visiting our many sites on the property including McLean Pond where campers participate in canoeing and paddling.  In our craft area, campers will have the opportunity to make wooden crafts and other creative crafts, all of which make a wonderful memory of their time at summer camp.  Camp McLean also offers a great outdoor pool (with lifeguards) where our campers hone their swimming skills or enjoy playing in the water with friends.

We pride our program on the emphasis of outdoor skill development, including but not limited to fire and shelter building, hiking, orienteering, archery, and more.

NOTE: Activities may vary based on weather conditions and age appropriateness.
