2, 3 & 4-week Traditional summer camp programs

Divided into cabins by age and gender, our traditional camp programs (either 2, 3 or 4-weeks) offer the best is summer camp experiences. Each night, campers visit our famous program board to select their programs for the following day. At Can-Aqua we place special emphasis on individualized teaching, which allows each camper to move through programs at their own pace. Our awards system is intricate and ensures that growth and development is recognized and interlaced between simple fun. In addition to activity selections, campers take part in a mix of programs divided by cabin, section, team, gender and full camp each day. As the session progresses, campers will have the opportunity to take part in an overnight camping trip with their cabin mates. Towards the end of each session, our Can-Aqua Games are a highlight to the experience. The mini-games take place halfway through each month, followed by a larger games program at the end of each month.

Summer camp activities

At Camp Can-Aqua, we understand the power of imagination and create a world that is engaging, inclusive and full of wonder. We offer a wide-range of activities, including (EXAMPLES.. crafts,). Each night, campers visit the program board to choose the activities they’d like to do the next day. Giving kids control over their day results in eager, happy campers who are ready (and on time!) for their activities. One optional activity we encourage is tripping, which is a great way for our campers to connect with nature and learn how to canoe, while developing teamwork, communication and leadership skills. It’s an important part of the Traditional Camper program at Camp Can-Aqua. A highlight for many campers is our multi-day Colour Games, which we host every two weeks, and the Can-Aqua Games, which are held at the end of each session.

Individualized teaching makes for happy campers

At Camp Can-Aqua, we encourage each child to challenge themselves through learning, exploration and responsible risk taking to achieve personal growth. We believe in individualized teaching, which is why campers move through our programs at their own pace. To ensure growth and development are recognized, we have an awards system. Campers develop their leadership, teamwork, communication, and decision-making skills through this summer of self-discovery.
