Stoney Creek Children's Club is a summer camp designed by local Stoney Creek families for children in the area. It is intended to provide fun, adventure-filled outdoor experience for children between the ages of 5 and 13. The programs draw from nature schools thinking, Montessori pedagogy, and project-based learning to promote confidence and curiosity, all while having a blast!
Participants will enjoy a wide range of activities over the five weeks. See our About page for additional details and be sure to register early!
Stoney Creek Children's Club will offer programs at two locations this summer:
1. Confederation Beach Park - July 15th - August 2nd
2. Battlefield Park - August 6th - August 16th
Campers are encouraged to wear weather appropriate clothing as they will enjoy the outdoors each day. However, in case of inclement weather, both locations have a steel pavilion to provide shelter and seating.
Battlefield park has an indoor location in addition to outdoor protection.
Please see our 'Fees' page for full-time costs and part-time (weekly) costs. Fees are designed to ensure affordability for families while providing rich, holistic programming for campers to ensure that they have an enjoyable, adventure-filled summer!
The camp will be supervised by qualified teaching professionals who are certified either as an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT), Montessori trained (AMI or MACTE) or Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE). Supervisors will be supported by senior and junior camp counsellors and specialty-program educators (nature, physical activity, art). All camp supervisors will be asked to provide a vulnerable sector check and equipped with First Aid training.
Ratios will be kept low to maximize participant support and enjoyment of the programmes
Stoney Creek Children's Club is a new camp that was designed through conversation among Stoney Creek moms who wanted enjoyable summer camp options that offered rich programming for their children. We cultivated a team of parents who provide advice to shape the camp and educators we have great experience with to launch this incredible summer retreat for your children to enjoy.
Yes, our camp staff are qualified to support junior and senior campers alike. Any child who has had experience in a childcare or school setting will enjoy the camp. Register now to reserve your spot!
We have two options for participants:
1. Full-time summer program that is 5 weeks long
2. Weekly registration
3. Part-time registration (either three full days or five half days)
4. Daily registration packages to support convenience for families
To confirm your child(ren)’s space, please fill out the registration form and submit the payment. Parents/guardians will receive a handbook and weekly schedule in advance of the start date.
Staff, site contracts, and field trips are booked based on registered participants. As a result, all fees are subject to a 25% non-refundable fee. Further to that, fees are fully non-refundable after Monday, June 3rd, 2024. Requests for changes of schedule are accommodated based on available spaces.
Each camper should bring:
- Refillable water bottle (preferably one that can hold the temperature of the water in case it is hot)
- Packed lunch and two snacks (nut-free and stored in a food safe way)
- Sunscreen
- Change of clothes
- Hat
- Close-toed outdoor shoes
- Water clothing (for water play dates, which will be communicated in advance)
Campers will spend the day outdoors but certainly not always in the sun. At Confederation Park, programs will occur in a tree-shaded, secluded area of the park and will rotate between activities in the sun, nature walks by the windy waterfront, and activities under the shaded pavilion. At Battlefield Park, programs will rotate between the shaded pavilion, the beautiful park, and the indoor space. We will intentionally rotate groups to ensure each group has access to shade throughout the day and monitor the wellbeing of campers. So not to worry, we know the summer can be hot and we are ready for it!
