CAMPS

WELCOME! All of our programs and camps promote a fun, safe, active, inclusive and positive environment for children, where everyone is valued and respected. Our goal is that at the end of the program your child will have truly enjoyed their experience. We look forward to meeting you all!

If you require your child to have a tech device in a program or camp please contact the Children’s Supervisor team at prcchildrensprograms@mapleridge.ca PEANUT/NUT AWARE A reminder that we operate peanut/nut-free programs. Participants are required to bring a peanut/nut-free snack and or lunch when attending programs.
