Hello Aashu,

I am scared to get into this camping topic. One reason is our kids might have different food habits and if it becomes a problem, then, 11 day and 15 day outing with a group of kids will not suit the requirements of a few.

If they are groomed into eating all kind of foods that the locals offer to the rest of the kids and eat Ham and Eggs for Breakfast, then, there are a lot of camping programs available to you or anyone.

Lions and Kiwanis are the first that I would contact. I will leave the Scouts and the Girl Guides out of the equation for now.

Seeing Vaughn in your address, I accessed the Vaughn area camping. Here are the links.
Some are 11 day programs and the costs are given here. Also note the after hours care costs.

This one is within your reach : http://www.sportsvillage.ca/

If Parental help and supervision is available, then there are lot of activities that could be availed form the RECREATION Department. It could be swimming, Tennis or Foot Ball. The program books are available at the Library for the asking. The cost are nominal and the kid could go for swimming 5 days of the week or Three days of the week, see what they offer and this lasts the whole summer, but it will need your able help for the drop and pick.

Some libraries have book reading for the rest of the day. There is always a Movie for them ONE Once a day. There are a few scrabble and board games group that function right through the year. Indoor Badminton, Table Tennis and shuttle games are there too.

These are only a few of my suggestions. There are many more. Ask the librarian in Vaughn.

Have a happy holiday. It is two months away, so get set and go.
