Day Camps
Big Fun Camps
The Town of Canmore is pleased to provide quality day camps for children and youth in our community.
Our commitment is to ensure your child has a safe, rewarding and memorable day camp experience. Through carefully planned itineraries, we will provide meaningful and age-appropriate activities that take into consideration Canmore and our local resources.
Big Fun camps run from July 5 to August 27, 2021, Monday - Friday, from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Please note that we are not offering pre- or post-camp care, and all programs are designed for weekly registration (no daily registration is available).
Day camps will use the following locations for their home base:
- Scout Hall and Family Resource Network Building (for children ages 5 and 6)
- Canmore Recreation Centre (for children ages 7-11)
Big Fun will follow all the necessary safety precautions as outlined by the Province of Alberta, and will include:
- Daily temperature checks and health screening
- Most activities will be held outside, weather permitting
- Cohorts cannot mix with other cohorts, nor can they be within the same space at the same time.
- Cohorts are named Chipmunks, Ravens, and Grizzlies. A cohort may consist of A and B groups so as to remain under the 50-person cohorts as outlined by the provincial guidelines
- Each cohort will have an indoor space specific to its group.
- Within a cohort, activities will be adapted to encourage physical distancing between participants
- Rigorous cleaning and health and safety protocols
- Risk mitigation and COVID-19 response plans in place
