Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre has joined with Kingsbrae Gardens to provide activity-packed summer art and nature day camp. There will be weekly art explorations and work with local art instructors in Sunbury Shores’ studios. Kids will create art and enjoy outdoor games, activities, and woods and beach explorations.

Experienced instructors will work with the kids to learn more about their environment and the natural world while creating art and having fun. The group is supervised by two camp counsellors for individual attention and encouragement.

*If your child (children) has special requirements, please arrange assistance and inform Sunbury Shores (506) 529 3386.

NEW Enhanced Safety Practices for SCAMPS

This summer Sunbury Shores is implementing enhanced safety practices.
Along with emergency contact info required from parents/guardians, our process now includes obtaining, at registration, the names of two selected/authorized people who have permission to collect kids after SCAMPS, or at any other time during Scamps. Identification (Driver’s license or other photo ID) may be required to be shown to SCAMPS staff when campers are handed over.

The two selected authorized people who have permission to collect kids from SCAMPS can be, for example, another parent, a relative or a trusted neighbour. This information will be shared with SCAMPS summer staff and Sunbury Shores staff.
Each child should also confirm that they know the person who is collecting them and be able to identify them by name.
