Youth Summer Programs

Junior Naturalists Day Camps are designed for youth aged five to 11 and offer a great way to experience the parks, learn about the creepy crawlies, investigate the science in nature and play some games.

We go deeper into the natural world to discover the plants and animals around us, and develop naturalist skills while enjoying outdoor adventures. Participants learn how to observe and record what's going on around them and through the fun and games become stewards of our environment.

Our camps run in the morning or afternoon and you can choose a three day camp for $60, four day camp for $80 or a five day camp for $100.  They are held in Regional Parks in Kelowna, Lake Country and West Kelowna.  There's even a special program for parents and pre-school tots (3-4 years old). 

For details on the times, dates and locations please follow the Regional Parks Guide Information or Registration Information links below.
