Summer Camp

Introduction

 

Purple Tree Summer Camp provides a fun, exciting, and enriching camp experience right in the neighbourhood for children aged 3.5 – 8!

 

All camp programs are offered on a weekly basis.

​

 

Activities

 

Our weekly themes such as World of Sports, Under The Sea, and Mighty Outdoor Explorers will be brought to life through creative, physical, and dramatic play. Co-operative games, art projects, sports, and discovery, are just part of the fun!

 

Outdoor time will be a dynamic part of each day while also contributing to your child’s physical well being. In both mornings and afternoons we’ll enjoy games and free play in our secure backyard. Water play will include sprinkler fun and water games!

Special Guests and Outings

 

Special guests such as musicians, artists, entertainers, animal experts, and athletic coaches will add to the excitement of our on-site programming!  Children in our Camp Day and Full Day programs aged 3.5+ will also partake in trips to local parks, splash pads, and enjoy field games with operators like 10-10 Sports, Dymamix, and SportBall. Fun field trips to places such as The Ontario Science Centre, Brickworks, and Sky Zone add to the excitement!
