The summer of ’23 will be memorable for lucky kids who get to spend time at a Carrefour summer camp! Every day, they will get to decide something very important: “How do you want to have fun today?”
This summer, our series of camps isn’t designed around a schedule of weekly themes. Instead, each camp is based on free play and exploration in all sorts of directions at once!
This summer, we won’t have as many different locations as in the past. That means we can sometimes bring together larger groups of kids and create a big summer festival atmosphere!
This summer, each camp will offer several activity centres all at once, with many new additions from one week to the next. Kids will get to choose what they like best in a menu of options for their morning and afternoon fun.
This summer, every camp will include larger festive gatherings, in addition to smaller group activities.
And this summer, as always, our camp leaders are skilled artists and experts who know how to get kids into it!
10 kids per week

So, what you won’t see this year is our usual eight-week list of camp themes. This summer, every week and every day of camp will be a different experience!
The Summer Camps will be held at the École publique Pavillon de l’avenir, at 370 Côté Avenue, in Chelmsford. They follow the same formula as the Summer Camps in Sudbury, which are held at École secondaire Macdonald-Cartier at 37, Lasalle boulevard.
As we are a licensed program, we follow the Ministry of Education’s policies and guidelines along with Public Health regulations.
For more information, please read the resources on the parent-friendly handbook page.
In many amazing ways!
All in all, ON JOUE BEAUCOUP, en français!
