Is your child a mini adventurer in the making?
This Summer, Alberta Wildlife Federation invites them to embark on their choice of outdoor adventures in the Edmonton River Valley! Youth Summer Camps offer the perfect opportunity for adventurers ages 7-14 to keep active, meet new friends, and uncover the wonders of nature in their own backyard.
Choose from four exciting camp themes in July and August. Each camp offers ample opportunities to spend time outdoors, with hands-on experiences designed to connect youth with the plants, animals, and environment around us. These environment-focused camps are equal parts fun and education, helping adventurers build the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to participate in outdoor activities in a safe, and ethical manner—skills that can be carried forward to other areas of their lives!
