In addition to Imagination Park, special themed activity days will take place on some Fridays throughout the summer.

A release form the City of Quesnel states that the Imagination Park programming has changed slightly from the original activity guide that was released in March in order to accommodate COVID-19 safety protocols so those who have already signed up for the summer camp or specific activities should review event details. The release also notes that pre-care will only be available from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. am while post-care will not be available this year.
The cost for one individual to attend the full summer camp is $922.75 for residents and $1,154.05 for non-residents, while a single week of camp costs residents $107.50 and non-residents $134.50, unlimited pre-care is available as an additional option at a cost of $77.50. The themed activity events held on Fridays cost residents $32 while non-residents pay $40.
