Havergal Winter Break Camp 2023

Multi-Sport Camp + Swim Camp

Our full-day program is perfect for the camper who wants to get to the next level in their swimming skills while learning and improving fitness and physical strength.

Multi-Sport with TAC Sports

Our AM portion of the day covers all popular and classic sports, including Soccer, Basketball, European Handball and more. These sports combine elements of footwork and handwork and incorporate different strategies in both team and individual sports. Students learn and practice the basics of each sport, creating an excellent foundation for future success.

Every half-day focuses specifically on one or two sports, and the programming is dynamic – focusing on development through fun, challenging, skill-based games.

The emphasis of this portion of the day will be engagement, improvement in skill and physicality, and enjoying the social camp experience. A perfect combination with the Aquatics activities of the day.

Learn to Swim with TAC Aquatics

Our PM portion is where campers spend 1.5-2 hours in the pool working on their swimming skills and covering elements of endurance and swim safety.Our Learn-to-Swim programming is aligned with the Lifesaving Society swimming program, and have the opportunity to work on their levels and progress during the week.

Our Aquatics program includes low ratios for maximum development and opportunities for improvement. Our aquatics philosophy is to bring fun and confidence to each swimmer.

Bullying Policy

Bullying will not be tolerated at any TAC Sports program. In general, a “three strikes” policy is followed. After the first incident, a coach will address the situation with both the aggressor and victim. During a private meeting with the aggressor, the coach will explain the consequences of bullying. The parents of both parties will be notified. An incident report will be drafted and sent to head office. This procedure is followed should a second incident occur. In addition, the aggressor may be separated from the group or put into a different sport/activity (additional fees for specialized programs will apply). If a third incident should occur, the aggressor will be expelled from camp, not only for the duration of the program but from any other TAC Sports program in the future. Cases of extreme bullying are not subject to the three strike rule. If it is proven that there was intent to seriously harm another child through physical or verbal means the aggressor will face expulsion from camp. His or her parents will be called for immediate pickup (refund for remaining days ONLY will apply).
