Summer Camp - Chill Out!
2026-08-17 08:15 - 17:00 (America/Toronto) | New Hamburg Community Centre, 251 Jacob Street, New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada
“Chill out” can mean so many things—and this week we’re doing all of them! We’ll cool down, move our bodies, splash around, and take time to relax and unwind. Be sure to bring a bathing suit and a change of clothes, because we’re going to have a splashtastic time!Get ready for outdoor water fun and watersports, lots of time outside, and plenty of chances to run, play, and cool off. We’ll enjoy classic summer treats like freezies and ice cream, soak up the sunshine with a beach day, and make the most of warm summer days with fun movement and laughter.

As the week winds down, we’ll slow things down too. We’ll finish off with a relaxing day, so don’t forget to wear your PJs—we’ll get cozy and enjoy a movie together.

Friday brings something extra special: Sloth Day! We’ll learn all about these slow-moving, super-cute animals—and who knows, we might even meet one online! We’ll explore fun facts, create sloth-inspired art, and fully embrace the chill vibes.

This week is all about fun, movement, relaxation, and staying cool—so come ready to splash, snack, relax, and chill out all week long!

Pizza lunch on Friday! Two snacks provided during the day, but no lunch provided Monday-Thursday. Subsidies available on first come, first serve basis. Perfect for children ages 5-12.
