Butterfield Acres Farm Summer Camps are the BEST Day Camps in the Calgary area!
Butterfield Acres Farm Summer Day Camps for 4-14yr olds build memories, friends, love & respect for animals, self-confidence, and a can’t-wait-till-next-summer attitude!
The best memories are made at the farm! Give your children more meaningful experiences and wonderful, significant memories they can share with their own children one day…
Where Campers Become Leaders: A Summer Tradition
Many of our Leaders were farm campers themselves (some for as many as 10 years!) We love seeing their smiling faces back again each year! Maybe they just LOVE animals, or the friends they make, or maybe its just the great old farm fun, being outside with nature… maybe all of those things?
So, you’re in the right place if you want an active and exciting, vibrant & engaging, well organized, and AUTHENTIC farm camp as part of your child’s summer experiences. Your child leaves camp with fabulous memories, many new experiences with animals, this year’s Farm T-shirt, a “Memory Photo” with one of their fuzzy farm friends and lots of stories every day (we know you’ll enjoy them too!).
We target a small maximum ratio of 6 campers to 1 leader to ensure safety, engagement, and personal attention for every child. Our Senior Leaders have Standard First Aid & CPR-C training.
Learn about more in-depth animal care, leadership opportunities and prepare for our Junior Leader Development Program!
Our Bus runs 2 weeks of the summer and day camp staff travels with the bus! 2 Stops in Calgary for your convenience.
We've got lunch and snack options to make your day easier!
Choose to add-on a farm experience like pony rides, wagon rides, time in the birthday barn, milking goats, feeding animals, or a private picnic!
