About Laser City Calgary
Laser City is Calgary’s newest and largest laser tag facility! But, they aren’t some one trick pony offering mini paintball, real paint ball for kids aged 8-12 along with arcades and esports. They’re located just North of Deerfoot City, accessible off Deerfoot Trail from 64th Ave NE or Airport Trail as well as South Calgary, on MacLeod Trail. If you’re looking for a birthday celebration, youth group event, team building, or camps they are sure to make your event special. You can also pop in for some laser tag even without a large group! Perfect for those rainy summer days.
Why Active Summer Camps Matter
Summer camps are so much more than just something to fill up the long summer days. They give kids an opportunity to build confidence, meet new friends, learn teamwork, and do things they wouldn’t normally get to do during the regular school year. Camps can give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are active, engaged and having fun during the day in a supervised environment.
The camps at Laser City Calgary are unique in that they combine physical activity, strategic thinking and social interaction. If your child loves gaming, friendly competition or action-packed adventures, there’s a camp option that is right for them.
