Many children spend the whole day on the farm... riding half the day and at farm camp half the day. Lunch time supervision is available.
Day Camps
In compliance with the Government of BC's Restart Plan, all of our scheduled day camps are going ahead.
We are busy putting procedures in place to maintain smaller groups and physical distancing where possible, and to respect the protective measures specified in the BC COVID-19 Go-Forward Management Strategy (PDF, 634KB) .
To keep everyone pandemic-safe, there are a few changes to our normal camp procedures. As almost all activities will take place in fresh air outdoors, we are not requiring the use of masks. Our focus will be on frequent handwashing and sanitizing, limiting contact with others, encouraging physical distancing, and having outdoor fun wherever possible. We will be placing your children into groups for the week with no more than 5 other kids, and most activities will be done in those small groups.
DROP-OFF PROCEDURES
You may drop off your child up to 10 minutes before the start of camp. Come to the gate at 6767 Balaclava Street where our staff will greet you and direct your child to their individual group.
PICK-UP PROCEDURES
Please report to the gate no more than 10 minutes after the end of your camp session. We will radio your child's instructor and have them send your child to meet you at the gate.
VISITORS
To limit the number of people on the property, we will NOT be allowing parents/siblings to remain on the property during camps. No visitors at all are allowed on the farm between 9am and 4pm. (Preschool camp parents may remain, if necessary)
Important Health Reminders
• If you or anyone in your household has been out of the province, or on an airplane, during the 2 weeks prior to camp, then please check with us before attending camp.
• If your child shows any symptoms of illness, including a cough, they must not come to camp! If your child shows any symptoms of illness, we will isolate them immediately and have you come pick them up.
• If your child has a fever, or has recently had a fever, or is taking any medications such as Tylenol or Advil to prevent a fever, please keep them home.
• If your child is sick, has recently felt sick, or you think they may have been exposed to anything resembling a COVID-19 infection, please keep them home!
• If you need to cancel your child's camp for health reasons, we will make every attempt to place them into another camp, or arrange a refund, on a case-by-case basis. We do have waiting lists for most camps, so please let us know ASAP if your child will be unable to attend.
NOTE: The north-gate to the property, on West 51st Ave, is CLOSED for the summer. Please access the property from Balaclava Street.
