School's out (for some of us!) and after structured, rigorous, academic-filled days it's time to LET LOOSE and PLAY! Our Choose Your Own Adventure Camp is all about letting children BE. Choosing their activity for the day, moving where and when they please, ultimate freedom within safe boundaries. This will be a week of fun, collaboration, creativity. Children will be free to choose from crafts, artistic endeavours, boardgames, books, magnatiles, lego, and a well-stocked library. On our beautiful, private riverside campus they can also opt to spend time outdoors in nature, exploring the river's edge, building forts, or erecting elaborate structures in our large, outdoor loose parts play area. With the abundance of choice that awaits them, and the freedom to choose their adventure, the only question is...which will they choose first?? “Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.” ~ Kay Redfield Jamison
