Great Escape Camp for Youth ages 11-15 is an indoor/outdoor based camp that will visit parks and beaches around Victoria and participate in fun group activities.

Campers will travel by public transit, so student bus passes will need to be present for those over 12 years old; however, this does not need to be a barrier. An activity calendar of weekly plans will be emailed to families prior to first day of camp. 

Afternoon Snack provided.

Out trips planned this week include Quasars Arcade, Laser Tag, Clover Point, Topaz Park and more with great activities planned in-between out-trips!
