Plan Ahead
After the holiday excitement wanes, a few days away from the house could be a parent’s dream come true! Enroll your child in one of our Specialty Camps or workshops that will be offered during the school winter break. These camps will be offered with a “Wrap-Around” option for full day coverage. Unfortunately, PHPR does not provide transportation from one camp location to another. If the Specialty Camp or Workshop is not located at the Centre, transportation to/ from the Centre will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian. Registration for all Winter Break Camps will open on Friday, November 1. Check a Winter Break Camp flier for a complete list of all Camps and Workshops being offered along with dates, prices and additional camp information.
