January / February 2026 Newsletter
Hello Adventure Campus Families,
We are excited to kick off the second semester with lots of fun and engaging experiences for our Adventure Campus participants! This January, we will be welcoming the Mad Science Team to our Adventure Campus sites for an interactive show featuring hands-on demonstrations that students are sure to enjoy.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our mid-year survey. We truly appreciate your feedback. Staff will be reaching out this month to families who requested follow-up conversations for additional input. Key takeaways from the surveys have also been shared with site staff for recognition and motivation.
Summer Camp registration is now open! More information can be found at nbparks.org/summercamp. A 10% early bird discount is available at most camps for registrations completed before Wednesday, February 18.
Looking ahead, 2026–2027 Adventure Campus registration information will be emailed to current families and posted online at nbparks.org/adventurecampus on Monday, February 23. We will also host a virtual information night to answer questions prior to online registration opening on Monday, March 2.
