Our Small Fry / Junior camps are for campers aged 5-10 years old.
What to Expect
Our Small Fry/Jr program is specially designed to help new campers discover the fun of camp and about God’s love for them. Your child can expect to make new friends during meal times and Bible Study, and to laugh out loud as their Cabin Leaders lead them in silly songs. Our littlest campers will enjoy forest games, beach walks, splashing in the ocean, crafts, imagination & team games, and covering the courtyard with sidewalk chalk art. We never know when a goofy dragon, a fumbling pirate, or a favourite Dr. Seuss character is going to visit Camp Douglas.
We adapt our usual program to suit the needs of small children. Sometimes that means earlier morning chapels and bed-times, other times it means extra snacks throughout the day. Small Fry/Jr Campers benefit from “Happy Horizontal Hour” (midday rest period) and soothing evening campfire songs before a devotional reflection or storytime in their cabin. Our campers go to bed satisfied and ready for sleep.
Small Fry/Jr Campers are directly supervised by a leader at all times, and our cabin leaders are ready to help with tasks that can be tricky at this age, like tying shoes and remembering to put on sunscreen.
Are you still nervous about sending your little one off to camp? Inquire with our administrator at office@campdouglas.ca about coming along for the fun!
