Please read BEFORE registering for important information!

Modeled after the Summer Playground Program and Camp Prospect activities that were previously offered in Dryden, the Summer Outdoors Program will be offered for eight (8) weeks this summer. You may register your child(ren) for as weeks as you wish. Each week will have a different theme:

Week 1: Summer Blast! (July 7-11)

Week 2: Superhero (July 14-18)

Week 3: Space Camp (July 21-25)

Week 4: Wild West (July 28 - August 1)

Week 5: Under the Sea (August 5-8)

Week 6: Sports Week (August 11-15)

Week 7: Animal Kingdom (August 18-22)

Week 8: Mystery Week (August 25-29)

Each theme week will be supplemented by classic games and crafts. As an added treat, we will be partnering with local agencies and organizations to provide children with positive and exciting outdoor learning opportunities, such as shelter building, fire building, bannock making and more! There will be one Program Leader for every 8 children (an 8:1 ratio) with additional volunteers to help facilitate.

The program runs 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. Parents can drop their child off no earlier than 8:30 a.m. and pick them up no later than 4:30 p.m. Please note that a $20 charge will be applied to your account if your child is dropped off any earlier or later than the times mentioned above.

Children should bring a backpack each day with the following: lunch, water, swim suit, towel, change of clothes, hat, sunscreen and bug spray, as well as good running shoes. All children will be provided with a Summer Outdoors Program T-Shirt on their first day! You will be asked to indicate the child's shirt size during registration.

Please ensure that all medical conditions, allergies and accommodations are mentioned during the registration process as staff need to be aware. Staff will not be responsible for administering any medication - children must be able to do this themselves.

Please make sure you have created an account with us PRIOR to registering by phoning 807-223-1425 ext.5 or 807-223-1470. If you try to create an account yourself, you will not be able to register into City of Dryden programs.
