Welcome to Summer Camp WS me mc

WELCOME! All of our programs and camps promote a fun, safe, active, inclusive and positive environment for children, where everyone is valued and respected.

AGE Please note participants must be the minimum age indicated for the program at the start of the program. Five year olds must have completed Kindergarten to register in full daycamps QUALITY SUPERVISION Staff-to-participant ratios reflects our commitment to safe, high-quality program supervision. The school age camp ratio is one leader to twelve participants (1:10). The camp ratio for pre-school camps is one leader to eight participants (1:7). Camp ratios are supplemented with support from responsible leadership volunteers. CODE OF CONDUCT Staff, volunteers, participants and parks and facility users are expected to follow the Rules and Regulations, by being considerate and respectful of other people and their rights, and by also demonstrating proper care and regard for City property and the property of others.

At the end of the program staff will bring participants back to the pick-up location and check them out.
