More Information

Age Group
This camp and its activities are geared towards children aged 6-9.

Capacity
Limited to 20 campers.

Hours
Camp begins at 8:30am and ends at 3:30pm. We are unable to accommodate campers before 8:30am.

If you are late picking up your child, you will incur an additional fee of $20 per 15-minute increment.

Registration
You will be able to secure your spot immediately upon registering, but this is only part one of registration. After your purchase, you will be required to log in to our Camp Portal, where you will submit details about your child, such as emergency contacts, allergy information, and more. You must submit these details at least 2 weeks prior to the first day of camp. This information will remain in our system, and will be available for any future camp registrations.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off
Parents/guardians are required to provide two emergency contacts. Adults not listed on the registration form will not be permitted to take campers home unless a parent/guardian provides written consent. Photo ID is required for all adults picking up campers at the end of each day.

A parent/guardian must accompany the camper to the designated drop-off area and sign the camper in/out each day.

What to Bring
Campers must wear closed-toed shoes that attach to the feet. This is an indoor camp; no outside gear is required.

Snacks and lunch will be provided by Origins Kitchen. No outside food is permitted.

Your child should bring:

• A refillable water bottle
• Any special medications or medical devices as outlined in your registration form
• We ask that your child not bring electronic devices from home (ie. phones, tablets, gaming devices) due to risk of loss or damage

Refund Policy
Cancellations received less than 5 days prior to the start of the camp session will not receive any refund of fees, unless a doctor’s certificate stating medical reasons is presented to our staff. Cancellations received 5 to 7 days prior to the start of camp will be refunded 50% of fees. Cancellations received more than 7 days prior to the start of camp will be refunded 90% of fees.

Behavioural Expectations
The Exploration Place strives to provide an environment free from violence and bullying. Campers disrupting the safety and enjoyment of others may require an immediate pick-up. Continued violent or bullying behaviours, after all other reasonable actions have been taken, may result in the de-registration of your child. De-registrations due to behavioural issues will be accompanied by a pro-rated refund for any days of camp the child misses.
