1-Day New Moon Mini-Camp
An Exciting Taste of Overnight Camp (without the overnight!)
A perfect way for children to get a real taste of overnight camp without having to sleep over! From swimming, challenge ropes, singing in the dining room to candy tuck, we’ll provide superb supervision and counselling, along with amazing programming from the minute they leave until they come home! Children will get a true sense of camp life and the intimate feeling of New Moon. This is a great introduction that is a perfect start to an overnight camping career!

Supervision and Support:
- This is a jammed-pack day of fun and activity – our aim is to provide campers with a taste of many of the unique activities offered at New Moon, rather than a duplication of what they might receive at a day-camp
- Bus counsellors will program the moment campers load the buses
- staff will be assigned to every 6 campers, providing excellent support and guidance
- To allow campers to catch their breath, we’ll have a brief rest hour, complete with candy tuck and mail! (we will arrange for parents to have a letter available for distribution during this time – just like the other campers)
- Our camp nurse and doctor are here all the time, responsive to any concerns, medicine requirements, etc.
- New Moon is a ‘swim-friendly’ camp: campers with limited ability get more help and supervision so they can enjoy waterfront activities
- All campers who attend will be eligible for discounted rates for 2012
