Build self-confidence with Leadership Through Fun activities
It’s hard to overestimate the importance of uncovering an inner leader at a young age. Leadership combined with creativity results in character growth and self-confidence building through summer fun and play at Discovery Land Camp. Every day, Camp Leaders are nominated from outstanding campers and assigned missions to develop their leadership skills. Missions are incorporated into camp activities (shows, treasure hunts, quests, etc. and field trips), and our Camp Leaders accomplish them with counsellor support. Leaders are chosen within each age group, so even the youngest participants can try it. The leaders get feedback and encouragement from their counsellors and their peers.
Enjoy yourself at Carnivals
A costumed camp carnival or talent show is a part of our weekly spirit-raising program. Our favourite camp cheers, camp dances, and songs are enjoyed and remembered for a long time.

Improvisational drama, or Improv games, bring even the shyest children out of their shells! Improv is different every time; it’s the best way to try something new and have a lot of good laughs!

Each day at camp is packed with activities! No two days at Discovery Land Camp are the same. However, we do follow a general outline for our daily schedules.- We believe that positivity, independence, and personal development are very important parts of any summer camp. If we see that our campers are having a good time and want to continue with a previous activity, are enjoying independent play with their peers, or are looking for a break; we are happy to adapt and change the program based on what is best for campers at the time.
- Sport and active game sections are balanced with quiet games, STEM, art and craft.
