Real Camp
Arrival Ceremony
Upon arrival at Olympia, campers are given their cabin assignments and meet their counsellor who awaits them in their cabin.
Campers are then welcomed to Olympia by the entire staff during a meeting in the sports complex. Olympia staff give a visual presentation of the kind of FUN AND EXCITEMENT campers can expect for the week. From that moment on, Olympia campers feel right at home knowing the rest of the week is filled with REWARDS AND CHALLENGES OF GROUP LIVING EXPERIENCES that they will share with their cabin mates, counsellors and the rest of the Olympia community.
Cabin Life
Cabin group size varies from seven to twelve campers per cabin. The cabin size is designed to MAXIMIZE A CAMPER'S INTERACTION with other campers in groups that they feel comfortable with and enjoy. All cabins are equipped with modern conveniences such as electricity, washrooms and showers.
For further CONVENIENCE, CAMARADERIE AND SAFETY, the group's counselor resides in each cabin with his or her campers for the entire week.
Free-time activities
After 5 to 6 hours of your favourite sport, there are skits and dances, campfires and water activities to try such as windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing and much more.
At camp you can be yourself. Learn about yourself—who you really are. Discover what's important to you. Make new friends, explore new adventures — Olympia is the place to be!
At the start of the week, individual and cabin goals are set, plus plans are made for fantastic free-time activities.
