5th Annual Fort Frances Volley Ball Camp
Summer camps are more than something to do when school’s out. They are an essential component of your child’s healthy development – physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually. The Memorial Sports Centre is pleased to offer Rec'n Crew, a Summer Fun Club (SFC). This summer day program involves a variety of fun games, crafts, songs, special events and activities for 7 to 11 year olds.
The Memorial Sports Centre also offers Specialty Camps. The Specialty Camps are designed to offer participants’ activities in a specialized or specific interest area.
Specialty Camp ages vary. Please see program descriptions.

All are fi rst aid and CPR certified and have undergone training to enrich your child's life and help them develop new interests and skills by exposing them to a wide variety of diverse and stimulating experiences.
Specialty Camp instructors are local “experts” in their field. Most are adults who have specialized training and experience.
