Camps start on Tuesday, June 3rd! As a formal reminder, each family will be required to have a signed (by parent AND child) behavior contract on file this summer. We chose to implement this practice to mitigate potential safety risks we have unfortunately encountered in the past summer seasons. 

This summer kicks off an important series of camps for Four Valleys, with travel and hands-on field trips that we have never been able to do before! Our expectations for your child’s behaviour and respectful actions have thus increased; please discuss these changes with your family before dropping them off for the first day of camp tomorrow. 

Excited to see everyone after a few weeks of break, and very stoked on another summer of wild adventure camps! Please view the document below, paper copies will be available at each camp check in.
