Camp Whonnock is the place to be this summer! Our Day Camp is an outdoor adventure program, which emphasizes the development of outdoor skills, environmental knowledge, and the exploration of the camp's 10 acres. Day Camp will be for youth, ages 6-12.
They are placed in groups according to their ages and supervised by trained leaders. Our daily program is well balanced. The activities are selected to teach outdoor skills, foster self-confidence, respect for others and the environment, promote teamwork, and be fun! Each activity is age appropriate and takes into consideration the skill levels of the participants.
Our campers will enjoy activities within their group while also exploring all that Camp Whonnock has to offer. We pride our program on the emphasis of outdoor skill development, including but not limited to fire building, shelter building, outdoor cooking, hiking, archery, and more! (depending on weather conditions).

The rules and regulations of the camp will be discussed with each camper on the first day as well as each following morning. Campers are not permitted to wander off unsupervised or leave their groups without permission. We reserve the right to dismiss/suspend any camper who continually displays disruptive or unsafe behaviour. This is to ensure the utmost safety of all participants.
If medication is required, please ensure that this information is on your child's registration form. It must be in a secure package (e.g. a Ziploc bag) and delivered to the staff at camp. The medication is to be labelled as follows: Camper's name, program/dates, type of medication and dosage, treatment, and reason for medication. Medication will be kept by the camper's leader and will be given as you have directed. We do prefer that camper's be able to self-administer their medication, but we are able to store it. Please advise us if there are any changes to medication during your child's camp week.
All lost and found articles will be put out at the end of the session for families to go through and ensure that they aren't forgetting anything at camp. Unclaimed items will be kept until the end of the summer. If left unclaimed, these items will be donated or thrown out.
Our summer programs will be planned in alignment with Scouts Canada’s program standards. Any changes to this guidance may result in changes to camp offerings, protocols, services, and/or cancellations of programs/services with little notice.
