Adventure camps offer kids an opportunity to challenge themselves both physically and mentally. Camps teach young people to push a little harder, reach a little higher and dig a little deeper to master a particular task and learn about teamwork and contribution. Whether it is whitewater rafting, rock climbing, waterskiing, skateboarding, a high ropes course or wilderness survival, adventure camps provide kids with more than an adrenalin rush. Canadian parents and kids looking for a camp with just a bit more of a thrill should check out listings from across Canada below. Read more
