“Mt. Venture Snow Day” Tuesday, December 22
Highly anticipated and only once a year, Kidventure Campers will once again stand atop Mt. Venture. Over 20,000 lbs. of snow is blown to create the city’s only snowy peak, on which kids slide and sled down its slopes. Discoverers will have their own special snow-scape and winter party!

“Penguin Parade” Wednesday, December 23
Strike up the band, get on your happy feet, and get set for the Penguin Parade. The day is a celebration of Winter Animals. With very special guests, ‘hare-raising’ games, and a ‘Moose-ical Time’, there’s sure to be some frigid fun for everyone!

“Art-ic Blast” Monday, December 28
With all the colors of the Northern Lights, we’ll create a blizzard of art and imagination. Join us for one of our most popular camp days and create a masterpiece that will be ‘frozen in time’!

“The KV Glacier Games” Tuesday December 29
The winter Olympics are coming to Canada, but before that… there’s the KV Glacier Games! As part of a unique country, campers will compete with teammates in a variety of KV style Olympic events. Complete with Olympic ceremonies, awards, and our legendary camp spirit, this memorable day is one you don’t want to miss!

“Igloo Groove!” Wednesday December 30
