About Our Camps
MAMBEC Day Camps are offered at Cole Harbour Place for 9/10 weeks during the summer break. MAMBEC instructors teach Life Skills/Self-Protection (focused on bullying) CLICK HERE for information: mambec.com/weekend-evening-program at an age appropriate level. Campers participate in weekly themes with corresponding movies and crafts. Each day, campers partake in various outdoor activities such as visits to on-site playground/library, field games, nature walks (weather permitting) and swims. Throughout the summer we bring in special presenters (depending on the theme) including magicians, dominoes, animal experts, balloon twisters etc. Leaders will choose a male and female camper of the week based on their behavior throughout the week. All campers will receive a MAMBEC certificate with fingerprints at the end of their first week.
