What your child gets

More than childcare — a summer that shapes them

Pack a lunch. We handle everything else.

Every activity is designed around what parents want and what kids need: connection, creativity, and growth you'll notice at home.

Campers having fun together during an indoor STEM and art activity at Curio Camps

Joyful days indoors — STEM, art, friendships, and memories that last.

Kids making friends during group camp activities

Real friendships

Small groups mean your child isn't just a face in the crowd — they'll come home talking about their camp crew.

Child building confidence with support from camp staff

Confidence that sticks

Trying new things in a supportive setting helps quiet kids find their voice and outgoing kids step up as leaders.

Children engaged in indoor STEM and art projects at camp

Creative days, off screens

Indoor STEM experiments and art projects fill every day — you pick up excited, inspired kids at pickup.

Campers learning hands-on skills during activities

Skills they'll actually use

Coding, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving are woven into every week — not tacked on as an afterthought.

We know what keeps you up at night. Here's how we handle the stuff that actually matters.

Curio Camps staff engaging with children in a safe, supervised setting

Safety-first environment

First aid–trained supervisors, secure check-in and check-out, and clear protocols so you always know where your child is.

Certified, experienced staff

Lead counsellors hold CPR and First Aid certification — and know how to keep 5–11 year olds engaged, not just supervised.

Small groups mean your child gets real attention — never lost in a crowd of dozens.

Background-checked counsellors

Every team member is screened before they step on site. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

Structured daily schedule

Predictable routines kids thrive on — and drop-off and pickup times parents can actually plan around.

Allergy & dietary care

We can accommodate any allergy or dietary requirement — tell us on your pre-registration form or contact us beforehand so we can plan safely together.

Peace of mind

The Happy Camper Guarantee

We stand behind every session — because the first day should feel exciting for your child, not risky for you.

Full refund after Day 1 if they don't want to come back

If your child isn't happy after their first day, contact us and we'll refund your registration in full — no awkward conversations, no pressure. It's our promise that Curio Camps is a place kids actually want to return to.
