黑料不打烊

For their first summer after Junior Day Camp, our campers born in 2015 now have the opportunity to join us Overnight for Grove Adventures this summer. Campers will still enjoy the outdoors every day - with mornings filled with swimming, canoeing, bouldering, farm visits, arts and crafts, and games - but they will now also have the opportunity to personalize their afternoons with "Camper's Choice". Campers can tailor their afternoons to focus on their favourite activities and interests, followed by Evening Programs planned by our Counselors with activities including Campfires, BBQs, and Theme Nights.

Campers will spend their mornings between The Farm and in the main campus kitchen, learning about the process of food production through hands-on fun learning experiences.

Afternoons offer the opportunity for campers to personalize their afternoons with "Camper's Choice" to focus on their favourite activities and interests. For the overnight program, this will be followed by Evening Programs planned by our Counselors with activities including Campfires, BBQs, and Theme Nights.

Campers will develop outdoor and team-building skills with the perfect introduction to overnight camping experiences - with one night camping at the 黑料不打烊 main campus, and another at the Northcote campus. Learn the joy of paddling, camping, and making your own food outdoors in Canoe Tripping I.
