How Our Day Camp Could Benefit your Child's Development
Play offers cognitive benefits and it also helps them to learn dexterity and spatial awareness. It also benefits them physically. Play aids motor development by encouraging movement while helping them to support their balance and gross motor skills. You can expect to see benefits in their energy, body awareness, flexibility, stamina and more! Play also offers social benefits and emotional advantages. Fun games help a child to understand the emotions they are experiencing. If a child was to win a game, they would then learn how to process excitement for example.
Do you want your kids to be able to go somewhere, blow off some steam and just have an awesome time? Maybe you're on a budget and you want to treat your kids to some activities, but it's just too much money to get everyone involved. Either way, we have the solution for you. When you come to us, you'll be glad to know that we have discounts available for siblings and that our prices start at $50 per day. We are open to all kids aged between 4 and 12, and they can stay with us from as early as 8:30am to 4pm. All meals will be provided by us, and we follow Covid protocols too. We will be able to give your child the fun activities they have been craving, while giving you the assurance you need to know that they are safe at all times.
If you sign up more than one child living in the same household, for the same week, you will receive $8 off for that day. The $8 discount applies for each additional child. For example, if you register 2 children for 1 day of camp, the fees will be $104 plus HST ($56 (child 1) + $48 (child 2)). If you register 3 children in the same household for 1 week the fees will be $152 plus HST ($56 (child 1) + $48 (child 2) + $48 (child 3)). The discount is per day and may be applied multiple times if the children are enrolled for multiple days.
For our weeklong Summer, March Break and Winter Break camps, the same rule applies with a $40 discount per week for each additional child from the same household.
