ACTIVEU CAMPS

About Us

ActiveU camps are recreational multi-sport and activity camps for children in grades 1-6. Our schedules rotate to incorporate a variety of sports include basketball, soccer, dodgeball, ball hockey, swimming and more! Our counsellors are all Lakehead University students, and we often have student-athletes on staff.

ActiveU has a strict no bullying or harassment policy, and we welcome all children into our camp environment.
