Are they longing for for the school holidays and some summer adventure? Vivo delivers on both counts, with their wide range of camps for kids as young as three or as old as seventeen. No matter where your kids’ interests lie, Vivo is bound to have a program that will get them excited for summer!
With camp themes like Play, Discover, Perform, Move, Lead, Outdoors and Technology, there’s something to appeal to every kid. And no matter what camp you pick, there’s always an emphasis on physical activity, so your kids will be working their bodies as well as their minds, even if they’re focusing on leadership or technology topics. These are just a few of the fun camps your kids might be interested in:
Play @ Camp (3-5 years): A child’s job is to play! Fill your preschooler’s day with games, crafts, nature discovery and swimming as they play their way to a healthy, active summer. Play @ Camp runs all summer long, as morning or afternoon half day camps.
Discover @ Camp (5-12 years): Wonder, exploration and curiosity! Through active play children discover how to be inquisitive, cultivate their creativity, develop their imagination and nurture a love of learning. Campers will build their sense of inquiry while they experiment with the world around them through a series of engaging, interactive indoor and outdoor games and activities. Discover @ Camp runs all summer long and is available for full days or afternoons (5-8 years).
Perform @ Camp (6-12 years): Lights, camera, action! Express creativity through active and performing arts. Kids will explore a wide variety of activities, games and crafts. Whether your young performer is into Drama, Music or Dance, they’ll love one of these performance based camps, or maybe all three. Each discipline is offered during 3 different weeks of full-day camps over the summer.
Move @ Camp (6-12 years): Sport-loving kids will love these camps. Choose from Traditional Sport, Active for Life, Non-Traditional Sports, Girls-Only Sports and Swim camps. Each is offered for full day camps during 3+ weeks over the summer.
Lead @ Camp (10-13 and 13-17 years): Community, connections, commitment. Leadership skills are a key building block toward a lifetime of personal and professional success. Kids will learn about goal setting, activity facilitation and team building and, depending on age, may shadow camp instructors or even gain essential hands-on experience in the community. Offered 6 times this summer for 10-13 year olds and 3 times for 13-17 year olds.
Outdoors @ Camp (5-13 years, depending on camp): Kids are made to be outside! These full-day camps will have kids playing, learning and thriving in the great outdoors. Choose from Climb (9-13 years), Outdoors (9-13 years), and Explore Outside (5-8 or 9-12 years).
Vivo’s camps are designed to give kids the space to explore their individual interests and have lots of fun, while connecting with other kids. Following the philosophy that summertime should be about play, the camps have a set of High Five principles that they follow: kids will be provided with challenges that are suitable for their age and skill level, they’ll be allowed to take part regardless of ability, leaders will focus on personal bests rather than winning, kids will keep active with a minimum of down time, and they will be given choices about what they can do. All Vivo camps are led by a High Five trained instructor or coach.
For those families with an extended work day, Vivo offers before (7:30-9 am) and after camp (4-5:30 pm) care for all of their camps, for kids aged 3 to 14 years.
