MRU Camps: Shaping Youth in Calgary Since 1990
MRU Camps are a vital part of the community. In 2025, it will celebrate 35 years of providing an environment for kids to grow, develop, and thrive! Beyond programs, MRU Camps supports the community through bursaries, adapted programming for youth with disabilities, food and toy drives, and more.
The team is committed to introducing campers to new concepts, so each year, every camp program gets reviewed and updated to ensure that activities keep pace with advancements in education and industry trends, all while being age-appropriate. Even if your child has attended many camps here, every summer will bring a new, enriching experience!
What to Expect
With a range of camp options, from creating something amazing and learning new skills to being active and having an adventure, you’ll find an MRU Camp that is just right for your child.
Camp programs are available for kids ages 4 – 15 years with programs from sports to the arts to STEM. MRU Camps for older youth in grades 7 – 9 focus on leadership skills and skill-building, helping this age group stay engaged over the summer and learn valuable skills. New camps like Discoverers offer a unique experience for youth who have an interest in outdoor exploration, wilderness training and orienteering. Returning favourites from previous years, like Young Game Designers and Youth Science Academy, allow youth to explore real-world applications of engineering, biology, chemistry, physics and technology. Kids will have access to a variety of spaces around the campus to enhance their experience, including classrooms, science and computer labs, the MRU Recreation Centre (pool, climbing wall, and gymnasiums), and ample outdoor fields.
Camps run from 9 AM – 4 PM, with complimentary before and after care beginning at 8 AM and ending at 5 PM.
