End of Summer Day Camps

A Note on Camps

Due to uncertainty around the COVID trajectory, our paddling camps are not running in 2021.

The Canadian Canoe Museum’s high-energy, multi-activity day camps are the perfect way to wrap up the summer! We provide a fun, safe and supportive environment for kids to interact with nature, get creative, meet new friends and enjoy summertime in the Peterborough and the Kawarthas to the fullest. We have two End of Summer Day Camps this year!

One for ages 8-10 that includes printmaking, book-binding, canoeing, swimming, rock climbing, and soapstone carving, with visits to Beavermead Park, the Turtle Conservation CentreEcology ParkPetroglyphs, the Lift Locks and of course, exploring the museum!

And, a NEW camp for ages 10-12 that includes knot tying and exploring the museum, tarp and shelter making, canoeing, swimming, hiking, and circus performing, with visits to the Alderville Black Oak Savanna,  Beavermead Park, the Turtle Conservation Centre, the Lift Locks and the Peterborough Academy of Circus Arts.

Don’t forget – Canadian Canoe Museum members receive discounts on summer camp registration. Become a member today and save!

Camp FAQs

I have questions about your camps. Who should I talk to?

 

My child has never been canoeing before, can they still attend this camp?

  • Yes, our camps are a great option for kids who’ve never canoed before!

 

My child is a bit younger/older than the ages you’ve listed for your camps, can they still attend?

  • We’ve set our camp ages based on years of experience.  Please do not register your child for a camp they do not fit the age range for.

 

We’re a lower income family do you offer any subsidies?
