Summer Camp: Festival Week (ages 8-11)

About this program

View Recreation's Refund and Financial Assistance Policies. This week, campers will dive into a world of celebration, exploring festivals of all kinds! From the lights and colors of Diwali to the midsummer traditions of Scandinavia and the music-filled spirit of Glastonbury, campers will discover how communities come together to celebrate culture, creativity, and joy. Working together, campers will design and build a Bowfest float to celebrate Bowen Island’s biggest and longest-running festival on its 50th anniversary. They’ll experience how traditions bring communities together, spark creativity, and leave a positive mark on the world around us. Our camps are predominantly outdoors, giving kids the chance to spend their days immersed in nature. Each week includes plenty of time swimming at the beach, exploring through unstructured forest play, and enjoying open-ended outdoor games. Campers also take part in safe, supervised off-trail adventures that encourage curiosity, confidence, and a deeper connection to the natural world. * OFF & ON ISLAND TRIP: Big Splash Water Park!
