We have taken our Teen Camp and blown it out with more action and options than ever before! For 2024, we want to give your teens more choice when it comes to their summer camp experience.
Teens will have a chance to choose from 1 of 4 streams:

They will develop new photography skills and get to enter the Roberta Bondar Summer Camp Competition, and spend time drawing, painting, or creating art with nature with our fantastic creative art leaders.
