Note about all Summer programs:
- Note: Shubie Park Day Camps are still happening! We are running them out of St. Andrew's Anglican Church (8 Locks Rd, Dartmouth), just a short walk to the trails of Shubie Park. All of our day camp programming will remain the same.
- For all Adventure Earth Centre Summer programs, campers will need closed-toe shoes, warm outdoor clothes, rain gear and a water bottle.
- At the Adventure Earth Centre, sustainability and the environment are very important to us. One of our Earth steps (An Earth step is an action you choose to help the planet) is to not print forms, letters and mail things using the post office. Instead, we have chosen to communicate and send/receive all forms and letters through email. Unfortunately, many of our emails end up in junk mail folders. If you have registered for one or more of our summer programs and haven’t received an email from us, please check your junk mail.
