March Break 2024 (Mar 11 – 15) is taking Wait List Requests for children currently enrolled in our Before and After School Programs only at this time.

We do apologize that due to high demand at this time we have very limited capacities for School Holiday programs during the 2023-2024 school year.

Please watch this space.  If we are able to expand the program to invite new families, it will be posted here first.

2023 March Break (Mar 11 – 15) “Imagination Factory Fun!”

Our March Break 2024 Program was designed by our staff to engage children in a wide variety of exploration, STEM activities, resiliency, craft, sports and achievement skills.

Our educators group children within their age cohorts and redefine the day’s theme in discussion with the whole group so that we make each day a special and custom experience for your children. We empower children to contribute to their own education experience, to learn the way they do best, while making new friends and coming away with a well balanced day of physical activity, mindful challenges, and a fun experience.

Location
Guy B. Brown Elementary School at 55 Braeheid Ave., Waterdown.

Hours
7:00am – 6:00pm (Drop Off Time is 7:00-9:00am only and Pick Up Time is 4:00-6:00pm (pickup arrival by 5:55pm) ONLY. Pickups outside those hours must be pre-arranged with the Camp Director

Nutrition
Our full day programs and field trips do not provide children with snacks, lunches, or drinks (other than water to fill water bottles), so please remember to pack a nutritious and peanut and tree nut free lunch along with morning and afternoon snacks as well as a water bottle labelled with your child’s name please.

Accessibility
Most of our programs are planned to be as accessible as possible to children of all abilities who already attend school with the HWDSB. In some cases, due to our limited staffing, children needing additional supervision or mobility accommodations (such as they receive in school) may require advance assessment for Community Living supports (which must be booked well in advance) for eligibility and availability in order to attend. Some specific activities and trips may also require additional support to be arranged in advance by parents/guardians, or may not be a good fit for some children. In some cases our days involve local walking trips. We do not provide alternative care for children who cannot or don’t want to go on a field trip or walking program (however we will plan with parents/guardians how best to accommodate all ability campers! Please be sure to speak with our Camp Program Director, Tyler Cain, at 905-689-5342 before registering and well in advance of the program dates(s) should you have any preliminary questions or concerns.
