Our summer camp program contains two sections of day camp.  We are offering the Capers Camp for ages 6-9 as of July 3 and Junior Killick Camp for ages 10-13 as of July 3.

The cost for the extended drop off and pick up is $20 per family per week. Camp registration is $115/week, payable through e-transfer.
