Best Edmonton Summer Camps 2022

Telus World of Science 

Telus World of Science offers a classic summer day camp experience for children. From science experiments, to time spent outdoors, and opportunities for the campers to explore the newly revamped science centre attractions, it’s a popular choice for Edmonton summer camp. Telus World of Science Camps tend to fill quickly, so to get into your preferred camp, you’re going to want to register early on in the season.

Fitset Ninja 

For parents of active children, Fitset Ninja provides a camp where kids are going to move, move and move more throughout the day. Pack a lunch because kids will build an appetite at Fitset Ninja, with the ninja course and parkour programming. Parents love the flexibility of Fitset Ninja camps, with options for morning, afternoon, or a full day camp. 

City of Edmonton Camps 

For parents that are searching for a way to encourage kids to get outside - City of Edmonton provides camps perfect for exploring. Campers can take part in traditional day camps, or spend their summer camp time exploring the river valley on bike, or on a canoe on the river. With Edmonton summer camps for every age, and every interest of child, and a larger capacity than some of the smaller sized summer camps, these city-run camps are a great option for Edmonton families. 

Strathcona County Camps 

Just outside of the city, but still popular with parents living in Edmonton, Strathcona County summer camps provide parents with another wide range of interests and options for Edmonton kids. From dance camps, and arts camps, to pottery camps and camps that are focused on outdoor skills, like orienteering, and canoeing, children can learn and develop many types of different skills at Strathcona County camps. 

Family Futures Camps 

Summer camp is a great development experience for children, but not all families are able to afford the high registration costs that come with traditional Edmonton summer day camp, and overnight camps. Family Futures is one of the incredible local organizations offering camp experiences for children, in a variety of themes, at a lower cost, or even free, for local families - ensuring that all children are able to gain the benefit of summer camp experience. 

Registration fills quick for Strathcona County camps, especially the swimming and art camps, so parents are encouraged to look through the registration guide, or use a website like campguide.ca to find a list of the upcoming Edmonton and area summer camps, and choose camps before the registration date comes up. 

Choosing the Right Edmonton Summer Camp 

Parents searching for summer camp experiences for their children should take into account the interests of your child, the schedule for the camp, and the frequency of the experience. Are you searching for a flexible one day camp to fill the gaps in childcare through the summer months? Or, are you looking for an immersive camp experience that’s going to last a week, two weeks, or even longer?
