Announcements

4 Day Summer Camp for Unisus Students - We Need 6 RSVPs to Make This Happen!

Hoodoo's Summer Camps offer an unforgettable wilderness experience for children aged 5 to 12.

This 4-day camp, running from June 25 to 28, is designed to be loads of fun while fostering curiosity and teaching kids how to interact with nature.

With a low group-to-instructor ratio, we ensure your child enjoys a safe and supportive outdoor adventure. Activities include light hiking, nature art, wilderness games, indoor climbing, kayaking, canoeing, and much more. Campers will also learn about animal awareness, wilderness ethics, plant life, and outdoor safety.

The camp is for beginners and has limited availability, with a capacity of 12 participants and a minimum of 6 children required. Located at Hoodoo Adventures, 131 Ellis Street, Penticton, the camp runs from 9 AM to 3 PM daily. Reserve your spot today and spread the word to ensure your child doesn't miss out on this incredible opportunity!
