Two New Summer Day Camps

This summer, the Town of Ponoka is introducing new day camps:

  • Splash and Create Summer Camp: Running July 14 to 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for children aged 6 to 12. Campers will build confidence in the water as they develop swimming skills, stretch their imaginations through creative projects and stay active while learning new sports. It’s a week full of fun, friendship and skill-building.

  • Superhero Camp: Running August 5 to 8 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for children aged 6 to 12. Get ready for an exciting week as young heroes design their own costumes, build their super skills and unlock their powers through games, crafts and team missions — plus water fun every afternoon.

A full list of programming options can be found here. Paper copies are also available at the Ponoka Aquaplex.

Swim for Life Programming

All swimming lessons and advanced programming at the Ponoka Aquaplex are delivered through the Swim for Life program through the Lifesaving Society.

To determine your child’s swim level in the Swim for Life program, parents and guardians are encouraged to review the transition chart here. Paper copies of the transition chart are also available at the Ponoka Aquaplex.

If you are still unsure of your child’s skill level, the Ponoka Aquaplex offers free swim assessments during public swims. To learn more, please contact the Ponoka Aquaplex at 403-783-0131 or by email at recreation@ponoka.ca.
