HA Camps are one of the best gifts you can give a child.
HA Camps offer a unique opportunity to gift your child with a week of wholesome childhood fun, while they make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. These camps are designed to help children develop confidence, independence, and creativity, while they have great fun facing new challenges and opportunities. It’s an experience that your child will cherish for years to come.
The fact that most children who attend Happy Acres camps return year after year is a testament to the camp’s unique traditions, which have been built over 75+ years. These traditions are truly special and make for an unforgettable experience for children.
About Happy Acres Holiday Camps:
Your child will have a blast at the 7-night holiday camp, which is filled with fun activities from morning to night. The program includes a variety of camp activities, such as strategic games, sports, hiking, nature exploration, crafts, singing, dancing, acting, silly games, and much more. There are many activities that every child will enjoy!
During the camp, your child will be placed in a group with about 9 other children of the same age and gender. A counselor will be assigned to look after them 24 hours a day throughout the camp. Campers sleep in a dormitory and eat meals and a few other activities with their group. They also interact with all the other campers during interest-based activities. This matrix structure helps foster a sense of community and belonging while also allowing campers to explore beyond their comfort zone. Our rich traditions are centered around making every camper feel welcome and part of the HA family while having great fun.
What sets our camp apart is that it is run by highly qualified scientists who love making learning fun for children. Your child will be introduced to the wonders of the world around them through hands-on activities, observations, and games. All lessons are centered around the importance of nature conservation and environmental awareness.
In summary: These camps are one of the best opportunities to allow your child to catch up on the childhood they missed over the last few years. It is 7 days of wholesome outdoor fun that will inspire your child’s curiosity and creativity.
