Learning never was this fun! Camp Mack invites all homeschoolers to come out and enjoy the day at camp. From September till April we meet once a month and explore a different theme each time. Some of the themes are based around STEM activities, others are based around outdoor activities. One thing they have in common is that they’re all fun! And of course, we take plenty of time to hang out and play with our friends.

All events will be held at Camp Mack. Due to our buildings being used for other programs and rental groups, exact locations will vary. One week before the day you signed up for, you will receive an email with details about the day, including location. We will also have yellow signs out for you to follow.

Practical information:

Age range: 7-14

Price: $35 per session, $5 optional sack lunch

Time: 9am-4pm*

Wear clothes that may get dirty and dress for the weather. Each class is offered two separate times in a month.

*The time change was done to accommodate our After School Program that runs on the same day as homeschool days. Those students arrive at camp at 4pm, and last year Pieter got really sad that he had to miss the last hour of the homeschool days.

September 15 & 17 2025 – Let’s Paddle:

During this day, we will teach the basics of canoeing. Students will learn parts of the canoe and other equipment, learn different paddling techniques, and how to get back in a flipped canoe. We will visit some Camp Mack favourite spots like the sunken barge, kettle point, and rock island. 

October 6 & 8 2025 – Dutch Day:

Learn all about the beautiful country of the Netherlands. Students will learn about the history, the language, and some awesome traditions. We will also be playing some Dutch games.

November 10 & 12 2025 – Gross Day:

Nature is beautiful, but there are also some gross parts that are important. Students will learn about creepy crawlies, scat, defense mechanisms and other ways that make nature interesting

December 8 & 10 2025 – Game Day:

When the weather gets colder, there’s nothing better than playing games. Bring your own game, or play the games we have at Camp Mack. During this day, students will learn about different types of games, play lots of different games, and design their own game.

Registration for the 2026 dates starts later this year

January 5 & 7 2026 – Culinary Day:

Time to do some cooking during this tasty homeschool day. Students will learn about different ingredients, cooking techniques, and (depending on how well they do) eat delicious food!

February 9 & 11 2026 – Habitat Day:

We live in homes, but so do our animal friends. During this day, students will learn about what makes a good habitat, play habitat games, and learn how to make sure our animal friends stay around.

March 9 & 11 2026 – Play Day:

We had a lot of fun performing our plays during medieval day last, so why not make it bigger? Students will design the set, costumes, divide roles and rehearse the play. Parents and other interested people are welcome to come and watch the play at the end of the day.

April 13 & 15 2026 – Survival Day:

Back by popular demand, survival day! Students will learn about shelter building, learn  survival priorities, and practice our fire starting skills.
