As of October 6, 2025, Alberta teachers are expected to go on strike. This is, of course, a fluid and quickly evolving situation, but in the meantime, your kids might need a place to go! We’re gathering a few options for last-minute day camps while the teachers are on strike.
If you haven’t already, be sure to register here for parent support from the Alberta government. If you have a child aged 12 and under who attends a public, separate, or francophone school affected by the disruption, you are eligible to receive $30 per child per school day of the labour action.
Alien In-Line
Keep your kids active while they’re out of school! Alien In-Line teaches everything from the basics of inline skating to cool tricks kids can master at their level. Kids ages 6 – 12 are led by certified instructors for a fun and exciting camp experience. They’ll start with safe skating practices, review basic skills, including proper warmups, before moving on to games and activities. Between skating sessions, kids will enjoy traditional camp activities, too.
