Galiano Kids Campout 2019

August 7, 2019 @ 2:00 pm August 9, 2019 @ 12:00 pm

It’s time for the 7th annual Galiano Kids’ Nature Campout! Come new and come old, as long as you are prepared for three days and two nights of fun in nature, for kids aged 9-12.

All three days of camp will be centered around the outdoor “choose your own adventure” sustainability game – Ecotopia!

Evenings will be spent around the “Camp Fire” making music and telling stories, that is of course, after we get back from watching the sunset. Finally, we will crawl into our tents to revel in the cozy cocoons that we set up ourselves. We’ll sleep snug in our tents under a magnificent sky full of stars.

The last day will provide an opportunity for everyone to show off their “Minute to Win It” skills before the grand finale of Ecotopia. Lastly, we’ll say “so long” to new and old friends, and look forward to next year.
