What to Expect Each day we do something different and exciting at our summer camps. We strive to provide a safe and fun environment for your child while at camp. We will visit the beautiful lakes and parks in Whistler, play sports and games and create amazing art work. Our main mode of transportation at camp is by bike for Camp Summer Sunsations and Camp Breakout. Camp Action Adventure will also ride bikes, scooters and run bikes occasionally. We may travel by bus and we have been known to walk to our destination as well. Sometimes we travel outside of Whistler and transport the children in our 15 passenger vehicles. It will be clearly noted on the Sunsations, Breakout and Action Adventure schedules where we are going each day and if we will be travelling by bike, bus, walking or using our 15 passenger vehicle.

What to Pack Participants should bring the following items every day; a backpack, bike (on schedule for Action Adventure campers), helmet, a nut- free healthy lunch with two snacks, plenty of water, hat, sunscreen, good walking shoes, swim suit, towel, rain jacket and a smile.
