Each day of camp we ask that your child bring:
- Full water bottle
- Sunscreen
- Hat
- Epipen (if applicable)
- Change of clothes
Just about EVERYTHING! Your transportation to and from camp, lunches and snacks, all camp programs, incredible supervision rations, camp awards. Only our before and after care programs require an additional fee.
Our summer staff team is lead by Ashlee Woolfson, our full time camp director. Ashlee hires our staff based on their skills, experience and interest in working with children as a positive role model.
All our staff have completed Grade 10 as a minimum requirement and include program specialists and senior staff who are university graduates, school teachers, and ECE’s.
Each age group has a different staff to camper ratio:
Bunnies (Completing JK) are divided into groups of up to 15, with 3 staff.
Froggies (Completing SK) are divided into groups of up to 14, with 2 staff.
Kangas (Completing Grade 1 or 2 ) are divided into groups of up to 16, with 2 staff.
Tigers (Completing Grades 3-6) are divided into groups of up to 18, with 2 staff.
Please note that in addition to the counselling staff listed above, we have additional Specialty staff as well as our Leadership Team, increasing the overall staff to camper ratio!
Camp should only be a positive experience. Always. We live and breathe by this philosophy. If your child joins in at camp and gives themselves three full camp days to adjust and find their groove, but still decides they do not want to continue at Adventure Valley, our HAPPY CAMPER GUARANTEE means you will receive a full refund (less the three days your child attended) NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
We know – plans change! Cancel any sessions for no penalty until May 31st, 2024 at 11:59PM.
From June 1 onwards, we try to be as flexible as possible for our camp families.

Our facilities at St.Mildred’s Lightbourn allow for ample indoor space to continue programs on rainy days! Same goes for super hot days, the air conditioned school provides a respite from super hot summer days, keeping our campers cool and safe all summer long!
Camp is more than the activities that keep you busy and engaged during the day. Amazing programming is important, but equal in importance is the sense of belonging, the friendships, the connections and community that being at camp will deliver when you invest your time in a camp.
At Adventure Valley we strive to create the ultimate camp community and safe place for your children to explore and grow, and we need time with your kids to reach that full potential. Although it is not a strict policy, we highly encourage two consecutive weeks of camp as a minimum.
Campers who have completed grade 7 and want to attend camp are welcome to attend and will be placed with other campers in the same age bracket (grade 6 & grade 7).
As we are not a day care program, we do not offer programs that are less than one week.
