Can you believe the school year is almost ending? Haven’t planned anything for the kids this summer yet? Don’t worry, here are some ideas to keep your kids busy and happy during the summer months in Halton!

Day or overnight camp at Fallbrook Trail Ranch

If your kids are into learning how to ride horses and care for them, this is the camp for them!  Kids (10 years old and up) or “Rangers” as they like to call them, learn to ride, groom, feed and handle a variety of horses during their time here.  They will also do other sporting activities throughout the day.  What a great way for your kids to learn how to care for an animal and get their energy out at this day camp!

Exploring the outdoors made easy! On August 18 and August 19, head over to either Mountsberg or Crawford Lake Conservation Area to have a fun filled day!  Check these things off your bucket list before you turn the big 1-2.

And you can also test your archery skills at Crawford Lake.  There will be live snakes and raptor presentations throughout the day too.
