Wild Australian Animal
Scavenger Hunt
March Break Camp
$260
Last year the camp was held at Kin Beach and the photos reflect that location. In 2026 the camp will be held at the Comox Marina.
Where Are the Animals?
Wild Australian Animals is a week of fast-paced scavenger hunts and daily challenges—each one built around a different set of Aussie creatures, from ocean animals to land legends.
My daughter absolutely loved her time at Crystal’s art camp! It was the perfect outlet for her creative side. From painting their own version of The Starry Night to sculpting with clay and even learning Morse code, the variety of activities kept her engaged and excited every single day.
She came home buzzing with stories about all the fun things they did. I can’t recommend Crystal’s camp enough for any parent looking to spark their child’s imagination!

What to expect during the week
Kids work in teams to hunt for clues, spot hidden details, and solve puzzles as they travel through themed challenges that change every day.
Between missions, campers slow down and create: they’ll make their own animal-inspired sculptures and complete a painting to take home.
It’s the perfect mix of high-energy scavenger hunt fun and hands-on art, with a whole lot of Australia woven through the week.

Adventure Time!
We may begin with relaxing art but we don't stay that way! Scavenger hunts, obstacle courses, mystery adventures are the daily goal!
We loved Crystal’s Van Gogh camp last summer. Crystal is a fun and enthusiastic instructor! She is organized, creative and has lots of cool art supplies to use.
We loved solving the mysteries and playing outside. Thanks for one of the best summer camps ever!

Things You Might Be Wondering
How Much does it Cost?
Camp cost $260.
Why do you only take 12 Kids per week?
Groups are intentionally kept small to support focus, connection, and collaboration. This allows for more individual guidance and a smoother experience.
What if my child is anxious, shy, or needs extra support?
Many kids thrive here because the structure is clear, the activities are purposeful, and the group stays small. If your child benefits from specific support (e.g., transitions, sensory needs, anxiety), please contact me before camp so we can plan for success. crystal@kaperkids.com.
What does a typical day look like?
Each day includes a mix of hands-on making, puzzle/mystery challenges, movement breaks, and guided collaboration. Kids rotate between activities so they stay engaged, have time to reset, and always know what’s coming next.
My child has allergies — what do we do?
If your child has allergies or dietary needs, please include details during registration. I can accommodate many common needs.
As an allergy parent myself, I understand the concern of sending your kid to a new environment. Please email me at crystal@kaperkids.com ahead of time.
What should my child bring/ Wear?
Please send:
A water bottle
Lunch + snacks
Weather-appropriate outdoor gear – we are outside rain or shine
Sunscreen – please apply before attending and we will reapply at lunch time
- Clothes that can get messy or stained we often do art or do experiments
Meet CRYSTAL
I’ve always loved kids who think a little differently—probably because I’m one of them.
I created Kaper Camps to give kids a place to not only have adventures but to sneak math and reading into their summer time fun. Without them even realizing they are still learning - All Summer Long!
