2014 Camp Themes

If you know FUN Camps, you'll notice a few difference this year! (Because positive change is good!)

Here is an overview of our new themes, and some of the exciting new activities we are offering.

(Please note that not all themes are offered in each location - please check the page for your specific location for schedules, dates, times and prices. Thanks!)

Food FUN:

Who says you can’t play with your food? Try growing your own sprouts from seed, cooking an eco-pizza, or heating up brownies in your self-created solar oven! The amount of FUN you will have with food this week is a real treat! A visit to a local farm is on the menu as well as trying your hand at gardening. Who knew that you could grow, cook and eat your way to a better world?

FUN Marks the Spot:

Avast there, me hearties! There be treasure to find by bus, bike, hike or swim – no carrrs allowed! This scavenger hunt takes us through forrrests, beaches, farrrms and parrrks to discover the amazing world of enerrrrrgy! Where does it come from? Where is it hidden? Secret clues will have us making balloon rockets, building mini solar-cars and becoming energy buccaneers who are planet-saving savvy!

FUN on Stage:

Your love of acting and your love for the planet take centre stage with thinking-on-your-toes improv, a backstage tour of a professional theatre production and an awesome eco-themed play created by you and your fellow FUN Campers! Come explore how playing pretend can make the real world a better place!

Artsy FUN:

Whether you’re good with a brush and canvas or prefer making sculptures from stuff you find, at Artsy FUN we’ll draw inspiration from Mother Nature. A visit to a local gallery, photography, wood-carving and fabric painting will all be part of the palette this week. So mix it up, create some art and learn how your masterpieces can create social change and share your passion for the planet!

Living on the Edge:

Would you rather be clambering up an indoor rock-climbing wall than sitting around at home? Us too! Explore the awesomeness on the edges around us – from wading through tide pools to whooshing down a zipline. Push yourself to your edge by learning to rock climb and test your limits with a visit to WildPlay! Our earth is amazing and we’ll help keep it healthy so we’ll always have a place to play.

FUN Builder:

Do you take things apart to see how they work? Make it rather than buy it? Come make cool stuff that’s eco-friendly too. Build and race your own mini solar-car, construct a house for some hard-working bees and learn how people are making their own homes from what you’d least expect (horse manure? Yeah! Horse manure!).

Animal Lovin’ FUN:

Join other animal-lovers as we meet everything from teeny tiny bugs to massive whales, and the adorable dogs, cats, horses and more in between. Help care for rescue animals and discover how birds of prey help keep wildlife in balance. Protecting the planet means protecting its creatures! A visit to a stable, a ride on a horse and a whale-watching expedition will all be part of this awesome animal week!

The FUN World of Water:

What could be more FUN than water in the summertime? Go for a swim with your fellow splashy campers or cool down on the slip and slide! This week will be full of water-ific delights! Discover the beauty of our local waterways through aquatic adventures like paddle-boarding, sea kayaking and canoeing and learn how to protect the water you love so much! For an added thrill head out into the big blue sea and meet the amazing creatures who frolic beneath the surface on a FUN whale watching adventure!

FUN in the Wild:

Think you have what it takes to survive in the wild? You’ve got to learn the skills – orienteering, building a shelter and reading a map! Learn to make fire without matches or a lighter and build your own mattress out of branches! Test your new skills with a geocaching expedition and an awesome forest camp-out on the last night with your new survival-savvy friends (don’t worry – you wont have to sleep on your branch mattress!)

Make Waves with FUN: (coming summer 2015)

Want to become an awesome leader, make the world a better place and build your resume, but think it would be more FUN to spend your summer outside playing on the water? Look no further! Learn leadership through paddling at this new and exciting camp for teens only! Train for a dragon-boat race, learn to roll a kayak and work with your team to power a voyageur canoe on adventures around the Gorge waterway! Come up with a passion project that will make the world a better place, and get equipped with the skills to turn it into a reality. But don't confuse this with school... the boats, the waterways and the surrounding parks will be your classroom, and fun-loving adventure-a-holics your teachers. Your actions are ripples that can turn into waves. Come make waves with us!
