CREATE A TIME CAPSULE

Time capsules are an incredible way to stow away a favourite memory. Remember your birthday, your first day of school - or any day - by assembling your favourite photos and trinkets into a jar. Pick a place to hide it where you won’t be tempted to look, and let your future self get flooded with nostalgic memories!

SQUIRT GUN PAINTING

Beat the summer boredom by calling upon your inner Jackson Pollock! Create an incredible work of art through one very unique tool - a squirt gun! Set up a space outside (this can be messy), fill your squirt gun with some paint and spray away. Your kids will be amazed with what they can create!

Paint Your Masterpiece

“MORNING DIP” CHALLENGE

Wake up! It's time to run outside and go for a morning dip! We're challenging kids to recreate the fond camp memory of "jumping in the lake" first thing in the morning or after a hot and sunny day in the comforts of their home. Cock-a-doodle-doo, morning dipperoonies. Who's up for the challenge?
