Adventure is coming to the Dundas Valley!

Get your kids outside this summer with an Adventure in the Valley! Join the Hamilton Conservation Authority’s (HCA) Environmental Education team for a week of outdoor fun in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area.

If your kids love being outdoors, like to explore, and want to learn more about the environment, this is the perfect summer camp for them! Each day will hold new and exciting opportunities to discover and explore the plants and animals that call the Dundas Valley home. Throughout the week we will hike the trails, investigate nature artifacts, make crafts, and play lots of games. Come explore the forests, streams, and meadows within Dundas Valley!

Registration for Adventures in the Valley summer camp is now open. Children 7-11 years old can register for one, or all four weeks:

Camp runs from 9AM to 4PM, and registration is required. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged.
