WELCOME TO SUMMER CAMP 2026
Our 2026 Summer Camp starts Monday July 6th and runs until Thursday August 27th. Camp hours are 10am - 3:00pm
Camp fees are $10/day per child for kids registered at the Big White Community School and $25/day per child if not registered with the Community School. Payment is via e-transfers to bwmcda@gmail.com Weekly camp dues are due on or before the Monday of Camp week.
Camp is open to children ages 5 - 14 (Including children going into Kindergarten). Parents are required to be Community Association members (membership is free and it’s easy to sign up).
Each week of camp is a different theme. Some daily camp activities have been designed to be interchangeable between days based on weather, group size and other factors at the camp councillor's discretion. Other activities (like swimming) are prescheduled. We will keep information as up to date as possible but please note even prescheduled activities are subject to change. Click on the specific week below to see pre-scheduled activities.
Every Wednesday is swimming at the Inn!!
Registration links are included on the event page for each week below.
Registration for each week closes the Friday before. You are able to make changes to your registration up until closing. Registration fees are non-refundable after the Friday before the camp week. This is because we schedule councillors based on registration.
If you need to report an absentee, please text our lead councillor Carleigh.
