Unmissable activities for your children
Every summer, the Continuing Education office at the Université de Moncton contributes to the magic of your children's school vacations, making every summer unforgettable. This contribution transforms vacation periods into an exciting adventure through its educational and fun day camps. Since 2021, the Université de Moncton's Continuing Education office has been offering summer day camps that let kids learn and have fun at the same time. The Continuing Education office thus offers young people aged 9 to 13 a most enriching experience that they can count among their most memorable experiences. Can you imagine? Your children will have the opportunity to discover new passions, make lifelong friendships and develop new skills while having the time of their lives!
A tradition of excellence and diversity
The youth of New Brunswick have made these day camps an annual meeting place, attracting the interest of many enthusiastic participants. We usually have between 24 and 48 participants at each camp. In fact, the themes on offer are extremely varied, ranging from science and technology to the arts, culture, sport and entrepreneurship. This diversity is the key to the success of these day camps. Beyond this variety, these camps are also offered on all three Université de Moncton campuses: Edmundston, Moncton and Shippagan. As you may have guessed, these camps don't stop at the "summer activity" aspect. It's a tradition of excellence that has not only evolved, but also adapted to the needs and interests of new generations.
Camps for all tastes and talents
Each year, we offer an ever-changing range of themes, including sports, art, entrepreneurship, science and culture.
Curious young minds can thrive in our science and technology camps. For the artistically inclined, our art camps offer immersion in various forms of creative expression. Your children can let their imaginations run wild and create works of art they'll be proud of. Sports enthusiasts will also be satisfied, as this is one of the most recurrent themes in our day camps. Health is one of our priorities! Culture-oriented camps are also offered to enrich the general culture of young people wishing to acquire new knowledge.
Multiple benefits for young people
Personal and social development
Much more than just a summer pastime, our day camps are a genuine opportunity for personal development. In addition to new friendships, teamwork and self-confidence are key to this experience. Each day is an adventure where participants learn to collaborate, communicate and grow.
Fun and enriching learning
To make learning more fun, the pedagogical approach at our camps is based on teaching through play. This encourages the acquisition of new knowledge and skills in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere, for a change from the traditional classroom. We're not going to lie; it's always more enjoyable to learn when the fun and adrenaline of discovering new passions are amplified. To ensure that the learning component is of the highest calibre, we collaborate with various faculties at the Université de Moncton. For example, for the science and engineering camps, participants take tours of the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering, with experts in the field offering workshops.
Physical and mental well-being
We take pride in balancing intellectual and physical activities to ensure that our camps contribute to the overall well-being of our participants. Whether it's exploring nature, playing sports or expressing creativity through art, each activity has been designed to help young people flourish. New, beautiful, unforgettable memories will be painted in their minds every evening and remain engraved there.
A qualified and passionate team of supervisors
Our top priority is the safety and well-being of our participants. A team of committed and dedicated professionals and people with excellent skills in inspiring and guiding young minds will supervise the participants. In a safe and stimulating environment, you can rest assured that your children will be in good hands.
New themes every year
We strive to introduce new themes to better adapt to young people's changing needs. Our goal is to ensure that every summer brings discoveries and experiences. With this dynamic approach, it's hard for your child to get bored: there are always new horizons to explore.
