WHAT: Educational Adventure Camps are dynamic, multi-sensory, and multi-ability. Our camps aim to delight children through discovery learning.

***There are no expectations for children to be able to read or write, instead students spend the day learning through discovery and hands-on experiences. Students will go home with many fun-filled historical adventures, along with their early explorer book, navigational tools, and a board game/or paper ship that they will create throughout the day.

WHERE: Bonnyville,AB. Exact location is tentatively booked and will be announced at a later date. This camp will be hosted inside a large hall.
