The Best Calgary Summer Day Camps

A part of the YMCA, Camp Riveredge is an opportunity for kids to get that traditional ‘outdoor' camp experience right in the city. Located at Sandy Beach in the southwest, this ‘rain or shine' camp (note: be sure to check the weather daily and dress appropriately) includes classic activities such as archery, outdoor living skills, challenge courses and more. Bussing to the camp is available from YMCA locations (Gray Family Eau Claire, Melcor, Crowfoot and Shawnessy) at an extra cost, so be sure to share when registering if you need to include it. Even more exciting: this year, Riveredge is offering a bike camp for kids 8 and up! Kids will hit the trails, learn navigation and safety, bike repairs, riding techniques for different terrains and more (note: bussing for bike camps is not an option).
