FAQ:

Why Should I enrol my child in Summer Camp at Mid-Sun?

Each week is designed around having fun in a safe environment that will include a weekly wild water day, cooking, crafts, sports and exciting games. Each week features a field trip to exciting destinations around Calgary. You can have so much fun enjoying the outdoors, getting active and meeting new friends that the better question could be why wouldn’t you enrol your child in the Mid-Sun Summer Day Camps. Groups are small and offer each child the opportunity to meet many of our fun and energetic leaders.

What's new with the Camp Options?

Mid-Sun Community Association is running a camp option for every week of camp! Camp options give your child an opportunity to explore and try new things.
