Summer Day Camps...

Children's Day Camp: Canyon offers a Summer Children's Day Camp (week long day camps). For more information please contact the office at 403-346-7003.

Canyon offers week long day camps for children between the ages of 8 - 14 years. The camp provides children with a chance to experience wilderness atmosphere and activities (horseback riding, games, canoeing, hiking, orienteering, and lots of fun!) within the convenience and economy of a day camp.

Participants will be transported to and from Red Deer (North East Parkland Mall Parking Lot) on a daily basis for a five day mid-week program.

One of the highlights during the week is the camp out on Thursday night! Campers stay over in Canyon's large day lodge. There is a campfire, hot dogs, Some-Mores, games, skits, and lots of giggles!

There will be six weekly camps offered throughout July and August. All activities are supervised.

The camps are designed to be a healthy exciting experience which will develop the campers' individual skills and encourage their involvement within a group atmosphere. Parents are welcome to drop in for a visit at any time.

  • 5 days of camp (Monday - Friday)in the great outdoors!
