Dear parent or legal guardian,

Elevation Outdoors is running a summer day camp program called “Intro to Adventure” this summer for youth ages 10-18 in the Okanagan. The “Intro to Adventure” camp will provide participants with an introduction to a variety of activities including, but not limited to, mountain biking, indoor rock climbing, hiking, and adventure parks. The camps will run on a Monday to Friday schedule each week. The program will utilize local operators that specialize in each activity to ensure the instruction is being provided by experienced staff who will provide the best learning environment possible while maximizing the experience.

The camps start each day at 9:00am and run until 4:00pm, when your child will be ready for pick up.

Pick up and drop off will be at:
Martin Avenue Community Centre
9:00am drop off and 4:00pm pick up.
1434 Graham St, Kelowna, BC V1Y 3A8

Camp organizer can be reached at 250-870-9094

Lunch and snacks are the responsibility of the camper to bring with them, food is not provided. As the campers will be very active please ensure you pack enough lunch/snacks and water for a full day of activity. We are requesting that you fill out the forms attached stating that you have read and are aware of the inherent risks of this activity before your child is permitted to
participate in the program.

By paying for a spot for your child in our Intro to Adventure program it helps us create scholarship seats in our other programs for youth in the community that would not otherwise have an opportunity to share in these types of experiences.
