Manitoba camps for kids

Different kinds of camps

Manitoba camps are offered for children of all ages, from toddler to teenager. These camps don’t just take place in the summer. They’re also offered in the winter, during March and winter break, after school, on PA days, and in the evenings.

These camps offer a variety of different programs and activities. For instance, in a traditional camp, your child will be able to participate in lots of different activities, which may include  swimming, tennis, waterskiing, gymnastics, rugby, cricket, arts and crafts, and wilderness exploration. In a specialty camp, on the other hand, your child will receive intensive training and instruction in one or more skills, such as music, dance, debate, baseball, or French.

Finding the right camp

With so many options to choose from, you should be able to find the right camp for your child. Ideally, try to find a camp that offers programs your child’s interested in. You should also look for a camp that’s suited to your child’s temperament and abilities. Here are some other factors to consider in searching for the right fit for your child:

• Location: is it close enough?
• Cost: is it within your budget?
• Are you looking for a day or overnight camp?
• Scheduling and childcare: what are the camps hours and does it offer extended hours?
• Who are the camp’s counsellors or instructors, and what is their training?
• What is the camp’s philosophy?
• What are the camp’s security and safety policies and procedures?
• What are the camp’s food policies?
