There are only a few days left to take advantage of the early bird discount for the Humber Arboretum's Summer Nature Camp (ages 5-12) and the new Jr. Naturalist Camp (ages 12-13), coming up in July and August. Book by March 31st to save 10% on camp fees.

Summer Nature Camp

Summer Nature Camp gets kids aged 5-12 out exploring the woodlands, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. Campers will spend their days participating in nature walks, forest exploration, pond discovery, art and ecology, natural mindfulness, camp songs and games, and much more. Weekly themes such as Arboretum Adventures, Humber River Rally, and Powerful Pollinators inspire unique activities for each session. Camp runs weekly throughout July and August.

Jr. Naturalist Camp

This new camp for ages 12-13 focuses on exploring the West Humber Valley’s flora and fauna in greater detail. Running concurrently with several weeks of summer nature camp, it offers a more in-depth investigation of the natural world for older kids who are excited by the prospect of discovery. Weekly themed sessions run twice a month in July and August.

Early Bird Savings

Regular rates for either camp are $245 per 5-day week* with before and after care available for an additional fee, but register by March 31st and the weekly rate is just $220.50

Sibling discounts and a payment plan are always available.

All camps are run out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, conveniently located at the back of North Campus.

For weekly themes, more details, and the registration links, visit the camps page on the Humber Arboretum website.

*Camp is closed on Monday July 2nd for Canada Day and on Monday August 6th for the Civic Holiday. Regular price for the four-day weeks is $200, or $180 with the Early Bird Discount.

ROLE OF COLLEGE COUNCIL

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long- and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2013, Humber’s Strategic priorities follow three themes:

1. Strengthening our Polytechnic Identity
2. Sustained Focus on Teaching and Learning Excellence
3. Maximizing the Impact of Partnerships

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.
