Recreation Summer Camp (Ages 6-12)

Our inquiry-based, Reggio Emilia–inspired summer program is rooted in the 100 Languages of Children, where children explore, create, and learn through play, projects, and real-world experiences.

Program Details

Ages: 6–12 years
Location: 525 11 Avenue SW (Downtown Calgary)
Cost: $475 per week, with early drop-off and late pick-up available for an additional fee

This program includes 3–4 weekly off-site field trips throughout downtown Calgary, with walking and transit-based outings to museums, galleries, parks, studios, and cultural spaces. These trips are fully integrated into children’s projects and inquiries, rather than treated as “extras.”
