**March 2022 Update: **
Wow! We have received an outstanding response to our summer day camp registration this year. We currently have very limited spaces available. Waitlists are available (we will be capping waitlists at 30 campers and the session will show full online). Thank you and we are looking forward to a great summer season!
Day Camp: For Youth SK to Grade 8
Circle R Day Camp is a wonderful introductory camp experience. Day campers experience the thrills, fun, and adventure of camp and return home each evening. Day campers can 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 so they can get a flavour for all the elements of a great camp experience. Day campers are placed in groups of eight to ten 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 4:00pm. 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 care for their horses such as grooming and tacking. Circle R riding programs help campers become more comfortable and confident around horses, increase their riding skills and knowledge, have fun, and enjoy the benefits and excitement of working with horses!
Day Camp Activities
Depending on age, options may include:
- MeowTown (Humane Education
and Adoption Centre) - Row boating/Canoeing/Kayaking

Facilities, Meals, and Transportation
Day campers will need to provide their own packed lunch and snacks (peanut and treenut free). Bus transportation is provided with stops located throughout the city. Our staff travel on the buses with the campers every day. Circle R believes that Day Camp program actually begins and ends on the bus!
