From the age of two, who attend a half day outdoor program t the age of 15 who can attend our Coun- sellor in leadership training, no one is left outý Whether the campers are sportsminded, keen in drama, nature appreciator, art enthu- siasts or simply enjoy living out of doors, the multi camps have something to offer. Another most important feature of the creative arts, sports and day camp is the daily bus service. Buses start at 8:50 in Bay Ridges, go through Ajax, cover the cen- tre of Whitby, the east end of Whitby and Brooklin and rendezvous at Heber Down Conservation Park. By 9:30 camps are separated out and and sports campers are on their way to Henry Street High School.
