Week 1 (July 5-11): Magical, Mystical & Make-Believe!
Get ready to engage your imagination!
Storytelling worldwide has been around for thousands of years. It is a gentle way to explore values, meaning, and big questions through tales and characters.
Camp is all about telling stories around the campfire, singing songs, searching for faeries, and dancing your feet off to rhythms, modern and ancient. Craft your character, try role playing, assemble your Magic card deck if you want, make a mask, and get ready for adventure. We’ll enjoy exploring our shared UU values and helping children build confidence through creativity and imaginative play.
Week 2 (July 12-18): Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?
Come play in Nature!
We believe in caring for our planet Earth and we are all connected. What would you be if you weren’t a human? Fly with the wings of a firefly, swim in the cool waters like a fish, bask in the sun like a painted turtle, balance on one foot like the blue heron. This week is all about unplugging and having an adventure in Nature. Awesome group games and activities are happening that foster cooperation, community, and celebrate our diversity and the interconnected web we are a part of. There will be chances to just be while you listen to the wind in the trees, take a dip in the pond or search for fire salamanders. Enjoy friendships with people your own age and make lifelong bonds.
Week 3 (July 19-25): Over the Rainbow-Wheel-of-Themes 🌈
I gotta be me!
This is the week to choose your own adventure at a place that lets you be you. Each day we will spin the wheel to bring a new colour and theme, giving you space to explore all the colours of your inner self! There will be daily mini games, a Pride Parade, and a variety of programs such as crafting, Lego, classic camp games, and more. Bring a shirt, a pillow case, or even socks to tye-dye! Over the Rainbow activities encourage campers to explore and celebrate differences through colourful, playful group activities.

A Day at Unicamp
Unicamp Kid Camps are a truly magical time filled with fun, friends, learning, and growth. Each week is filled with a wide variety of creative and enriching activities and games, all surrounded in the beauty of the Niagara Escarpment.
Below is a sampling of our daily schedule.
- Morning Program: We start our days with the option of an early Polar Bear Dip in the pond. Campers are woken up by the first bell of the morning with the option to awaken their senses in the cool waters of our spring-fed pond. After a nutritious breakfast, campers head back to their cabin for a quick clean up and ensure that they are ready for the day’s activities.
- At Morning Rally campers dance, play games, sing, and split into groups attending their first program of the day. After a quick snack and just enough time to change, campers head off to their second program. Programs fall into a few categories: arts and crafts, sports, pond, theme focused, classic, and suggestions. There is no shortage of options to choose from!
- Afternoon Programs: After lunch, campers head back to their cabins to have a bit of an afternoon rest. Staying in their cabins provides an opportunity for quiet card games, reading, writing letters to friends and loved ones back home, and planning for the talent show. Campers head to their third program, have a snack, and then get ready for the Camp Wide Game. Camp Wide Games are games that involve all of the campers, CITs, LITs, and Staff playing together across our full property. Notable games are, Capture the Flag, Unicamp Cup, Quidditch, and Survival.
- Free Time: Running around during the Camp Wide Games can get tiring; Free Time follows it, allowing campers to decide on what they want to do next: swim, shower, nap, hang out with friends, visit the chickens & goats, and much more before heading off to dinner.
- Family Council: This is where the work of building community takes place. Campers and staff members gather together in their cabins to engage in relevant discussion—to work out conflicts, to make decisions about the week’s activities, and to share the joys and successes of their day.
- Evening Program: The rest of the day is rounded out with a Game on the Common and an Evening Activity before Hug Patrol and Lights Out. Typical evening activities include Wish Night, Carnival, Counselor Hunt, campfires, Capture the Flag, scavenger hunts, Unicamp Olympics, movie nights and game shows. Wednesday nights are reserved for our camp-wide dance.
- Hug Patrol: Each evening the Mini-common comes alive with activity as the Programming staff go and visit each cabin. Campers let the program staff know if they would like a smile, high five, handshake, hug, that evening. As with all aspects of our program, practicing our principles is interwoven into the shared camp experience, and this includes ensuring each person has a voice.
