Gear up for adventure this summer with Camp «Ӱҵ

For many families, Camp «Ӱҵ is more than just a summer camp — it’s a welcoming and inspiring community where kids can explore their interests, build confidence and experience hands-on learning in a college environment. Axelle Bazett, a Kelowna parent, shares how Camp «Ӱҵ has become a vital part of her son’s summer experience.
“We’re now headed into our fourth year of registering our nine-year-old son to enjoy his summers at Camp «Ӱҵ,” said Bazett. “He loves the engaging camps, especially Minecraft, Lego Robotics, Drama Llama and Ooey Gooey Science camps — with a new camp each week, it keeps him interested and excited, while the consistency of being at the same location helps him know what to expect.”
Offered across «Ӱҵ campuses in Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon, and Salmon Arm, Camp «Ӱҵ provides a unique learning experience where kids can engage and interact in college-level facilities while being guided by expert instructors, many of whom are educators or professionals in their fields.
Designed for youth entering grades one to twelve, Camp «Ӱҵ blends learning and fun, offering week-long day camps in areas such as science, technology, engineering, arts, trades and outdoor exploration. The camp experience introduces youth to the post-secondary environment in a comfortable and inspiring setting — and can spark curiosity about future learning paths and careers.

Bazett appreciates Camp «Ӱҵ for the activities, supportive instructors and the after-camp care. “It's a great balance of fun, learning and friendship for my son, and easy planning for us as parents,” shared Bazett. “The attentive and energetic instructors connect well with the kids. As full-time working parents, the full-day camp hours and especially the after-camp care option have been essential for our family.”
