Day Camp
About our Summer Day Camp program
The Municipality of Leamington is committed to providing quality sport and recreation programs for children that promote healthy growth and development. Our programs are designed to be age appropriate, safe and fun. To ensure activities are of the highest quality, we incorporate the High Five principles of healthy child development into our Day Camp programs. All of our counsellors are First Aid/CPR C certified and High Five trained. We maintain a 10:1 camper to counsellor ratio.
Day Camp programs and activities at the Nature Fresh Farms Recreation Centre (NFFRC) include physical activity, outdoor play, ice skating, swimming, crafts, cooking, science experiments, field trips, and more! Our programs are age-specific and aid in promoting creativity, teamwork and friendship. View our weekly theme schedules below!

| ePACT - Enrolment is Mandatory |
|
We use an online Day Camp Information system called ePACT. ePACT offers a contactless, paperless method for us to securely collect, manage and access essential participant information and updates. This includes emergency contact information, medical forms, waivers, consent forms and personal health and safety needs. ePACT ensures we have a way to contact you in the event of an illness, injury, or other emergency. With ePACT, you will only need to enter your child’s information once, regardless of how many days he/she will be attending. Information entered is secure and can be updated at any time. Parents/guardians will be required to upload photos of their child and their approved pick-up contacts directly to ePACT. All invitations to ePACT will automatically be sent with your initial registration in our summer Day Camp program. Parents will need to create an account if they haven’t already signed up for an account in previous years. |
