Recreational Gathering at Carlton Marshes
Planning a holiday session filled with outdoor activities, games, and crafts for children aged 6-11 years old? Here's a guide to help you navigate the details.
These events, often held at locations such as YMCA Camp DeBoer or similar outdoor settings, offer a mix of nature activities, including outdoor games, nature hikes, arts and crafts, and possibly water activities like canoeing or kayaking.
At YMCA Camp DeBoer, specific dates for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 have been announced. The price varies depending on the duration of the stay, with options ranging from a 4-day/3-night stay to a 4-day daytime visit.
For other programs, dates are typically offered during most holidays, and booking details can be found by contacting the program directly. No registration fee is mentioned, but early booking is recommended as spaces may fill quickly.
Regarding clothing and footwear, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and sturdy footwear are recommended for outdoor activities. As these events take place outside, suitable clothing and footwear for potential weather changes are essential. Don't forget to bring a drinks bottle for the day.
Accessibility is a priority at these events. Wheelchair access is available, and a hearing loop is provided. For those with mobility issues, it's advisable to contact the organizers before booking.
Bicycle parking is available at these events, making it easy for families to cycle to the venue. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on leads due to a Public Space Protection Order.
Meals are an important part of the day. A healthy vegetarian lunch and snacks will be provided, including a jacket potato with cheese, baked beans, and salad. However, if your child does not want a jacket potato, please let the organizers know in advance so they can offer an alternative. Parents may also bring a packed lunch if needed or have specific dietary requirements.
Transportation is usually the responsibility of the parents. The meeting point is typically at the camp or program location.
