Opal Family Services and Special Olympics New Brunswick have partnered to offer day camps through the months of July and August 2021. With a ratio of one camp counsellor for each child who requires this level of support, we plan to offer a safe, inclusive, and engaging program full of activities, crafts, games, and outings. We offer inclusive programming and provide assistance to meet the unique needs of our campers. Support workers are welcome.
The camp will be located at 245 Westmorland St. Fredericton (Christ Church). Camp Wonder has no religious affiliation and we are grateful for the use of this large, accessible space at a reduced rate. This year, we are pleased to announce a new partnership with Nashwaaksis Baptist Church located at 104 Edgewood Dr. Fredericton. This second facility will allow us to welcome more campers while keeping our groups small for COVID-19 reasons and also to meet the sensory needs of our campers. Once again, Camp Wonder has no religious affiliations. Campers are welcome to register for 2 weeks.
The cost is $150/week for full days (9am-4pm) or $75/week for half days (9am-12pm or 1-4pm). Payment can be made by e-transfer or by check to Opal Family Services. Families can apply for financial support for camp through the Department of Social Development or through Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart program. http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/content/microsites/jumpstart/en/apply.html#wanttoapply
