Okotoks' Most Anticipated Kids Summer Camp Is Back — Camp Move Your Mood: Totem Pole Adventure
Every summer, parents across Okotoks, Calgary, and the Foothills ask us the same thing: when does Camp Move Your Mood registration open?
This year, we're thrilled to say it's here — and it's our most exciting theme yet. Camp Move Your Mood: Totem Pole Summer Adventure is a week-long kids summer camp in Okotoks for ages 5–11, where every animal on the totem pole carries a lesson, every activity builds a skill, and every child leaves a little stronger, calmer, and more confident than when they arrived.
Spots are limited. Keep reading — and register before they're gone.
What Is Camp Move Your Mood?
Camp Move Your Mood is a one-of-a-kind kids camp in Okotoks, developed by Restorative Whole Health in partnership with The Orenda Society. It was built on a simple belief: when children learn to move with purpose and reflect with intention and have healthy ways to express emotion, they build the foundation for lifelong wellbeing.
Three outcomes guide everything we do at CMYM:
Strong bodies — through age-appropriate movement, physical literacy, and outdoor adventure
Calm minds — through emotional awareness, breathwork, and mindfulness woven into daily play
Confident hearts — through community, peer connection, and guided self-discovery
What Is the Totem Pole Summer Adventure Theme?
This summer, each week of camp explores a different animal from the totem pole — and the value that animal teaches us about how to move through the world.
The Buffalo teaches us to work together. Strong, steady, and respectful — like a herd that moves as one. Campers build teamwork through physical challenges that only work when everyone shows up.
The Eagle teaches us to soar. To see far, think big, and care for those around us. Campers practice leadership, perspective-taking, compassion and creative expression.
The Snake teaches us to stay grounded. To be aware of our surroundings, speak our truth, and move with care. Campers explore emotional honesty and body awareness.
The Fish teaches us to adapt. To glide through challenges, go with the current, and find a way forward even when conditions change. Campers build resilience and flexibility — physically and emotionally.
Each animal comes alive through movement games, outdoor activities, mindful journaling, agility challenges, and creative projects — so every learning style is honored and every child finds their unique way to move their mood.

Why Families in Okotoks and Southern Alberta Choose CMYM
Parents from Okotoks, High River, Black Diamond, Turner Valley, and across the Calgary area choose Camp Move Your Mood because they want more than supervised activity for their kids. They want a camp that sees the whole child.
Here's what families have said:
"Camp Move Your Mood offers the essential ingredients that EVERY child needs to build resiliency and to thrive! I can't recommend this camp enough!"
— C. F., Pediatric Physiotherapist
"My 10-year-old son just finished week one of the Move Your Mood Camp. To say he loved it would be an understatement. After the first day he asked to be signed up for week two! I highly recommend!"
— D.C., Camp Move Your Mood parent

What Makes CMYM Different from Other Summer Camps Near Calgary?
There are plenty of summer camps in the Okotoks and Calgary area. What sets Camp Move Your Mood apart comes down to three things:
The program is designed by a team of professionals - physiotherapists, psychology students, educators and wellness professionals — which means the movement activities are purposeful, progressive, and informed by how children's bodies and minds actually develop.
The ratio is real. A 5:1 camper-to-counsellor ratio isn't a marketing number — it's the difference between your child getting a moment of individual attention and your child being truly guided through the experience.
The outcomes are whole-health. Most summer camps tire kids out. CMYM sends them home with tools — language for their emotions, confidence in their bodies, and connections with peers that matter.
