Thrill of the Catch (Entering Grades 2-7)
World of Watersports (Entering Grades 5-7)

Those fly fishers who have a child in grade school should consider these excellent summer camps at the Calgary Outdoor Centre-University of Calgary.

The first one, Thrill of the Catch, is a no brainer.

Why the second one? Next to making sure your child knows how to swim, handling a water craft on moving water should be a close second.

Registration has only been open for five days, and some slots are already sold out. So don't spend too much time thinking about this. :-)

Nature summer camps

The City has been leading nature summer camps at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary for a number of years. Our experienced educators are experts in a variety of fields including bird-watching, wildflowers, natural history and more.
