About Our Daycamps

As part of our popular camps, children will visit key attractions and participate in a variety of activities & adventures. Events and activity schedule will be provided to those that register, closer to the time of the camp start date.

Along with adventures, Our House Seasonal Day Camps offer a relaxed and safe environment where children are given the opportunity to learn, grow and be challenged alongside their peers. We believe that each child is unique, with a different perspective, needs and aspirations. We understand that the support and guidance provided to one particular child may not work for another, therefore individual approaches are implemented were possible.

Through warm and supportive relationships, our qualified staff help children to:

Build positive relationships and develop empathy
Build self-confidence and self-awareness
Develop problem solving skills and resilience
Make healthy choices
Develop a sense of responsibility and build independence.

Like our other programs, we follow an emergent, play based curriculum. Through our practice, we aim to create an environment that represents all of our students, to facilitate learning opportunities that promote awe & wonder, and to embrace children and young people’s natural curiosity about the world around them.

Learning can be messy, and the learning journey doesn’t often happen in a straight line – we embrace this – and collaborate with the students, families and other team members to make sense of the world together in the ways that work for our students at the time.

Inclusion Policy

Vision: Every child and family is unique and should have access to an inclusive and respectful child care experience.

Policy: MPCCA childcare programs embrace diversity and celebrate environments of acceptance, respect, understanding and inclusion. We commit to learn, understand and appreciate each person’s unique attributes. We value all the differences that make us individuals including race, ethnicity, culture, gender, neurodiversity, socioeconomic levels, range of abilities and physical and/or health care needs. We strongly believe inclusion is a fundamental human right for all and to create an inclusive space this requires nurturing educators with a background in inclusivity. Our educators support the unique abilities of each child to ensure they reach their highest potential. MPCCA works with BC Centre for Ability, PACE and other community partners to enhance our ability to support children of all abilities through training and consultation.
