Schedule
This March Break camp will be so fun and engaging that you will wish we ran camp for adults!
Our plans for the week include a snowshoe hike to Porcupine Cove, wilderness survival activities, kicksledding, nature crafts, a maple syrup tour and a hot dog cook-out on the Friday only.
Plans are subject to change should snow conditions change.
While we will be using the Jose Education Building as home base, we plan to be outside most of the time, except for nutrition and bathroom breaks.
If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact Naomi, Camp Coordinator at 705-424-1479 ext. 280 or nsaunders@nvca.on.ca.

If you are driving West on Hwy # 90 from Barrie you would drive South along the 8th line. Or, from South End Barrie you would drive West along Mapleview and continue West past Hwy # 27 as Mapleview turns into the 25th side road. We are on the 8th line.
If you would like to request that your child be in a camper group with another child (friend or family) please email us at outdoored@nvca.on.ca no later than the week before the start of camp so that we can make the adjustment. After camper groups are made and shared on the Friday before the start of camp, we cannot guarantee an adjustment.

No refund will be given on cancellations made with less than 2 weeks’ notice.
