The College continues to partner with Batawa Ski Hill to offer a series of themed Batawa Outdoor Adventure Camps such as Dino Days, Eco Adventurers, Eco Explorers and Hike ‘n’ Bike.

“Batawa is alive with excitement as children explore nature and learn about the environment,” says Sonja Bata, O.C., Chairman of Batawa Development Corporation and Founding Chairman of the Bata Shoe Museum. “We are very happy that Loyalist College is using every trail, tree and water course in Batawa as a playground and classroom for their campers.”

Our wide range of adventure, computer, arts, sports and leadership camps is enhanced by our connection with Batawa, an ideal setting for outdoor exploration. Fresh air, new friends and lots of fun – can’t be beat!”
