LIVE, LAUGH, PLAY.
From our beginner Preschool to our Elite Gaels Camps, the Queen’s Athletics & Recreation Q-Camp program has your child’s needs covered throughout the calendar year. Our camp counsellors create a positive atmosphere designed to help your child develop friendships, athletic skills, and most of all have FUN. Q-Camps not only teach sports skills, but intend to help campers learn positive attitudes while encouraging teamwork, cooperation and fair play. All campers are encouraged to lead a healthy and active lifestyle while gaining positive self-esteem.
Facilities Q-Camps utilize the state-of-the-art Athletics and Recreation Centre (ARC) which is a 47,000 square-metre multipurpose athletic facility in the heart of campus. It features two gymnasiums, two combative rooms, four dance studios, 10 squash and racquetball courts as well as a gigantic 40 metre pool. Campers can enjoy fresh air while playing on Tindall and Nixon Field – our multi-purpose artificial fields.
staff Our counsellors are mature university students who are selected for their expertise in physical activity and ability to work with youngsters. Each staff member is required to submit a CPIC (including a vulnerable sector check) and complete an extensive training course before camp begins. All counsellors are certified in CPR-C/first aid as well as operational safety procedures. Select camps feature Gaels athletes and coaches!
