Thinking Playground camps

Do you want your child to have the ‘thinking tools’ to solve problems? To make good decisions? To be open to exploring different ideas, and transform imagination into innovation? Then the Thinking Playground is just what you have been looking for!

Thinking is learning to: 

  • listen to each other
  • ask interesting questions
  • make connections between ideas
  • to build on each other’s ideas
  • see what counts as a reason
  • express your reasons
  • think before you act 

Thinking is essential: 

  • constructive communication
  • for healthy mental and emotional development
  • for dealing with the pressures of life
  • for good judgment
  • for self-growth

You may drop your campers off between 8:30-9:00 am and pick them up between 4:00-4:30 pm. Pick-up and drop-off location TBD.

Please pack a nutritious, nut-free lunch for your camper and 2 snacks — one for the morning and one for the afternoon. Please also include a bottle of water with the camper’s name on it.

All refund requests are subject to a $15 administration fee. Written notice received prior to 21 days of start date (or more) will be eligible for a refund, minus the administration fee. If the refund request is due to a medical reason a doctor’s note may be required for a refund request made with less than 21 days before the first day of camp.

If the refund is being requested 20 days or less before the first day of camp and no medical note is provided, no refund will be issued. Once camp has started no refunds will be given. Requests for refunds can be sent to p4c@ufv.ca. If it is necessary for UFV to cancel a camp, a full refund will be issued with no administration charge.

There are so many good things to say about camp this week. My children have never, I mean never, had this much fun. It is not a stretch to say that my husband and I think that they enjoyed the camp more than Disneyland!
