▌ Editor's read The provided URL leads to the City of Calgary's Parks & Recreation summer camp page, which details various day camp options for children and youth (https://www.calgary.ca/parks-rec-programs/day-camps/summer.html). The camps are offered by the City of Calgary, indicating a municipal ownership structure. The page lists both single-day and week-long camps, confirming a 'day' program type. While specific staff-to-camper ratios are not explicitly published on the main camp page, the City of Calgary's general recreation services would likely adhere to municipal standards. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, which is expected as this is a Canadian municipal program. The website does not explicitly state background check policies for staff on the camp-specific pages, though it is standard practice for municipal employees. Social media handles for the City of Calgary are @cityofcalgary on Instagram and 'cityofcalgary' on Facebook, which would cover their recreational offerings.
