Dear Parents,
We are busy planning for the Halton Waldorf Summer camp, which takes place on our school grounds from June 22 through July 24. Junior campers (ages 4-6) will enjoy a play-based curriculum interwoven with crafts and outdoor activities. Senior campers (ages 7-11) will celebrate the joys of summer through a variety of stimulating crafts and activities, exploration in nature, music and co-operative games. The leaders of the camp are experienced Waldorf teachers who will provide the structure and leadership for a unique camp experience.
Please find enclosed dates and costs for the camp as well as a registration form. The registration form must be completed and full payment made to reserve a spot at camp. The early bird fee applies to registrations received by April 30. Applicants are accepted on a first-received, first-served basis. Pleasemake cheques payable to the Halton Waldorf School.Payment can also be dropped off at the school or mailed to Halton Waldorf School, 2193 Orchard Road, Burlington, Ontario L7R 7J8.
