COVID-19 Response
As we all find ourselves in unprecedented circumstances, we acknowledge that our programming is going to look a little bit different this summer than usual. However, we are committed to offering fun and engaging programming, while also keeping you and your families safe.
Our in-person programs are still running this summer, with additional hand-washing and sanitizing protocols, and reduced capacity for both staff and children.
We are also offering virtual programming for the first time, in addition to our usual programming with some fantastic guest instructors.
Please rest assured that should any in person or virtual program be cancelled for any reason due to COVID-19, you will be offered a full refund for all programs affected.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. We're looking forward to spending an engaging, albeit unique summer with you!

What's New
Director's Message
Cindy and Danita Sepp, Program Directors
Bachelor of Education - Elementary, BCommHello Parents and Campers,
We made some great memories this past, summer, with our third summer of running camps for all 10 weeks of the break! We will do that again, and are set to add some more great memories to the stack this year.
At Block 8, we strive to give our campers a well rounded experience, combining physical, artistic, musical and lifeskill development. The focus is on fun, with a highly active program always planned. We provide our campers with opportunities to explore nature as well as indoor activities such as parkour, gymnastics, and chef school. Children are encouraged to form lasting bonds with their fellow campers and instructors. And I am available if you want to discuss your child's successes or challenges, or if you want to set up specific plans to accommodate your child.
We operate as a registered daycare, so families with support or subsidies can apply them to our camps.
Looking forward to a stellar year!
Cindy and Danita
