Summer Camps

Summer camp season tom built with campers’ enjoyment in mind. Swimming twice daily with swim instruction and a general swim or water slides, in four heated outdoor pools and two waterslides are sure to delight children of all ages. Redwood has something for everyone. For sports enthusiasts, there is gaga ball, basketball, floor hockey, tennis, soccer, baseball, and batting cages. Nature lovers will enjoy the on-site animal farm and dynamic science program, all designed to keep campers in touch with nature. A 24foot rock-climbing wall presents an exciting challenge to campers. For budding artists, creativity flourishes with jewellery-making, crafts, pottery and dance. There are also two jungle vines, a shuttle, games room, tetherball court, and theme days. One of the most popular activities is Drivers’ Ed., where campers drive a modified golf cart on special trails. Horseback riding, golf, and overnights are optional activities. For an unforgettable day camp experience, check out www. redwooddaycamp.com.
