Camp Blue ON provides the ideal environment for campers to try a wide variety of experiences, meet new friends and gain independence. ON Emphasises a feeling of fun, family, friendship and belonging and the over night experience can change you. You become more independent and self-reliant. You face new challenges and form new relationships. You acquire confidence and initiate the lifelong process of self-discovery. Our ON programs provide the opportunity for campers to put aside the competitive demands of school and sports, to slow down, open up and explore.

Campers are placed in cabins with children of their own gender, age group (as close as possible) and our best efforts will also be made to accommodate requests for children to be placed with their friends. Each cabin consists of bunk beds, ensuite bathrooms and basic cupboard storage.

 

The Primary Program

Our junior programs are not only exciting and fun but they also allow our campers to be challenged and push their limits. There are team building challenges that will see 20 campers cheering and supporting the one on the wall and individual conquests of hitting a bullseye. There isn’t a dull moment from the time our campers open their eyes in the morning to when their heads hit the pillow.

The Secondary Program

Senior Campers take part in cabin life and regularly scheduled activities like everyone else, although in their own group. They need some time alone with other teenagers, however, so we give them that time, Camp Blue style! A number of their activities are off site and include programs such as surfing and Stand Up Paddleboarding. Our staff are Specially trained counsellors who are responsible, young-adult role models, that know how to enjoy this age group as well as lead them.

FIRST TIME CAMPERS 

All of us were first-timers at Camp Blue once! We also know how it feels to be away from home for the very first time. This can be a big transition and some campers (and parents alike!) may experience a little anxiety in the first day, so we pay extra attention to making our campers feel completely at home and at ease.

Camp Blue is proud to offer a safe haven where children can learn to assert their independence and embrace new challenges. If you do have a homesick camper, please don’t be alarmed. This is not uncommon! More often than not, these are the very same campers who grow in the biggest leaps and bounds by the ends of their sessions… and are sometimes among the first to sign up for the following camp!
