Please note: City of Langley staff reserve the right to modify and change programming and structure of the camp to accommodate a variety of needs.

1. Children will be participating in a number of age specific activities. A Weekly camp schedule will be available on the first day of camp.

2. Campers will travel to Al Anderson Memorial Pool on Tuesdays and Thursdays for an afternoon of recreational swimming. A BBQ lunch of hot dogs and chips will also be provided on Tuesdays only (Summer Daycamps Only).

3. Please limit the amount of money you are sending to camp with your child as campers are discouraged from purchasing snacks and drinks from our vending machines or on outings.

4. To ensure that all children can participate fully in all indoor and outdoor/off-site activities, please prepare them with suitable clothing for all types of weather. Activities will run as scheduled unless the conditions are extremely harsh, in which case alternate indoor activities will offer.
