Welcome to My Kids Day Camp!
FAQ
Welcome to My Kids Day Camp! WHO ARE WE? Here at My Kids Day Camp, we are a group of people who love kids and strive to create a fun, exciting and unique place for them to spend the summer! Our goal is to ensure that you are 100% confident that your children are in safe hands while at camp. With that in mind, each of our camp staff are trained in First Aid/CPR, have completed a Criminal Record Check, and have taken our Child Abuse Prevention and Protection Training – a program specifically designed to help provide a safe and secure environment.
WHAT MAKES OUR CAMP UNIQUE? 1) FACILITY – We have a fantastic space here at My Church Winnipeg and we utilize it to the fullest! From our full-size gym, indoor play structure and our great outdoor green space, to our rooms with full media capabilities, we are able to provide lots of options and opportunities for our campers. 2) THEMES - We know that many of our campers attend all five weeks of camp so we strive to have a unique theme each week of camp, keeping things fresh and exciting. 3) DAILY SCHEDULE – Each morning will be packed with great faith-based lessons, crafts, games and songs in both large and small group settings. Each afternoon will include either a field trip that allows our campers to get out into the community and enjoy a special adventure, or an action-packed afternoon of water games and other activities here at the church. 4) AGE RANGE - Our camp is offered to kids ages 5 – 12. We know that such a large age range means that we have kids at many different learning stages. With that in mind, we’ve divided our camp into two different groups: Jr. and Sr. Camp. Each day these groups will be together for some activities and separated for others. Jr. Camp is for children in kindergarten to grade 3 and Sr. Camp is for children in grades 4-6. We also know that each child is unique and that their grade may not reflect their development level. If your child fits this description, please let us know. 5) HALF DAY CAMP - We are aware that some families are not in need of Full Day care, and for that reason we are pleased to offer a Half Day option from 8:30 am to 12:00 pm. Half Day campers attend our morning VBS activities which is a great option for families who are looking to enroll their children in a VBS program during the summer months. Should you need Full Day care for one or more days, we can accommodate that as well. So many options!
WHAT TO BRING Each camper should bring: a labeled peanut-free lunch, morning snack (the afternoon snack will be provided), water bottle, sunscreen, hat, swimsuit, towel, plastic bag for wet clothes, bug repellent and their My Kids day camp t-shirt. Note – All campers will receive ONE complimentary My Kids Day Camp t-shirt to take home. T-shirts will be delivered to your child during their first week of programs. Campers registering for multiple weeks will receive their shirt during their first week of camp. We do our best to provide your preferred shirt size, however shirt sizes are not guaranteed.
