GrandSparks Day Camp

A program designed to facilitate interactive outdoor play for Grandparents and Grandkids!

What is GrandSparks?

Inspired by the GrandSparks Camp program developed by Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health, GrandSparks is a short-day, day camp program that challenges grandparents to interactive outdoor play and recreation with their grandchildren.

Each morning will include sessions like: archery, swimming in the pool, canoeing, hiking, low ropes, games, time for grandkids to play while grandparents relax, and more. This program will also include a nutritional component where everyone helps prepare lunch together after a morning of physical activity.

You don’t have to officially be a senior, or a grandparent, to participate. You only need to be an older adult bringing a youth buddy. Grandparents are welcome to bring several grandkids, and grandkids are welcome to bring several grandparents! We have even had grandkids bring a different grandparent every day!

Don’t worry if you feel you are “out of shape”! All of our activities are designed to suit the abilities of all participants!
