Day Camp: For Youth SK to Grade 8
Circle R Day Camp is a wonderful and memorable experience for your child, no matter what age. Day campers experience the thrills, fun, and adventure of camp and return home each evening. Day campers get to play, explore, spend time in the nature and make new friends while having the time of their lives! Best of all, day campers become part of a caring camp community that encourages and supports them while they learn and grow.
Day Camp Program
Day Camp exposes campers to a wide variety of activities. Day campers are placed in groups of ten to twelve campers with one or two counsellors; our youngest “Tyke” campers have two counsellors with each group. Including program staff, the overall ratio of campers to staff at Day Camp is 3:1 and the relatively small capacity of campers per session allows more personal interaction and greater flexibility in day-to-day programming. The camp day runs from 9am to 4:15 pm. Campers are split into different age groups: Tykes (SK – Grade 2), Juniors (Grades 3 – 4), Intermediates (Grades 5 – 6), and Seniors (Grades 7 – 8).
Horses and The Riding Program
There’s plenty of horse time for everyone! Day campers get to experience western pleasure trail riding as well as learn to care for their horses through grooming and tacking. Our trained staff offer Equine-assisted Mindfulness experiences which helps to deepen the campers awareness and connection with the horse and themselves. Our Circle R horse programs help campers become more confident, increase their riding skills, have fun, and enjoy the benefits and excitement of working with horses!
Day Camp Activities
Depending on age, options may include:
- Rabbitropolis (Rabbits and Bunnies we use to learn about Mindfulness and animal caretaking)
- Row boating/Canoeing
- Swimming
- Farm animals and Tractor Hay ride
- Archery
- Arts and Crafts
- Drama Games

Facilities, Food and Transportation
Day campers will need to bring their own packed lunch and snacks (peanut and tree-nut free please). Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. Bus transportation is provided with stops located throughout the city of London.
