Red Deer Polytechnic and its Division of Extended Education are preparing to welcome summer camp participants back on-campus for a range of popular returning camps and some innovative new ones.

“After two years of adjusted camps due to COVID-19, we are thrilled to offer an expanded number of in-person Day Camps and to bring back Overnight Camps at Red Deer Polytechnic,” says Rod Holt, Associate Vice President, Academic Entrepreneurship.

“I’m confident that the impressive selection of camps and high-quality instruction will help to create memorable experiences for youth. We look forward to having our campus filled with youthful energy, creativity, and wonder throughout the summer months.”

Beginning in July, the Polytechnic will offer an array of day camps that will entertain and educate students of different ages, interests, and abilities. There are several choices of Junior Chefs Camps for students aged 9 to 18 looking to enhance their cooking and baking skills. Youth will also be able to select from 20 different Science and Applied Technology Camps which will provide opportunities to engage in hands-on activities, to venture on field trips, and to conduct experiments. Students, who wish to be physically active and participate in sports, will be able to select from camps in badminton, basketball, soccer, volleyball, or all sports.

In addition, there are several new day camps:
