Read on for an overview of our programs to see what they include and the ages for kids to enrol. If you're unsure which age group someone falls into, we based it on the schools system. So it's the age they're turning this year! For example, if a camper is 6 at the time of enrolment, but will be turning 7 before the end of 2023, they can enrol in the "Junior" aged camp.
Our youngest campers become the heart and soul of our camp, with their infectious fun, curiosity, and laughter.
Mini Excalibur |

Ages: 4-6 |
Mini Excalibur is a full day, two-week program for our youngest campers and offers a safe, active environment to give kids the perfect introduction to summer camp! Campers participate in daily planned activities including sports, art, science and outdoor education. We focus on offering activities that encourage teamwork, fairplay, and kindness. Our low camper to staff ratio ensures constant supervision and individual attention to each camper. |
Our Juniors, Inters, and Seniors have the opportunity to choose a specialism as they are growing their personality and interests.
Multisport |

Junior: 7-8, Inter: 9-10, Senior: 11-14 |
Our Multisport Camp is a favorite with active children who want to explore a wide variety of sports this summer! In our Multisport Camp, children develop their physical literacy, try new activities, improve their game, and meet new friends in a fun-filled environment. Campers will take part in a variety of sports including basketball, rugby, lacrosse, soccer, rock climbing, and more! They are also introduced to fundamental sport and movement skills, as identified in the Canadian Sport for Life model. |
Integrated Arts |

Junior: 7-8, Inter: 9-10, Senior: 11-14 |
Integrated Arts Camp is for campers who want to immerse themselves in the arts to explore their creativity, grow confidence, or develop their performance skills. All of our activities give campers hands-on experience learning techniques within a variety of arts disciplines, such as mixed media in visual arts, creating routines in dance, and voice projection in theater. At the end of the two-week session, camper groups will have the opportunity to deliver a small performance in front of their friends and family at our end-of-session camp BBQ. |
Outdoor Education |

Junior: 7-8, Inter: 9-10, Senior: 11-14 |
Adventurous campers who enjoy the outdoors will love this combination of our popular nature and multisport programs. They'll participate in a variety of outdoor games, hiking, environmental education, teamwork activities, and trips that promote nature appreciation. Personal reflection, sustainability, and leadership within the camp environment are core principles of this program. Campers will receive lessons in canoeing, safety skills, and orienteering, whilst building confidence, self-esteem, independence, teamwork, and communication skills. |
Science |

Junior: 7-8, Inter: 9-10, Senior: 11-14 |
Campers who love experimenting will love our STEM Camp, which provides the opportunity to touch, see, hear, smell and taste what science is really all about. Our hands-on approach immerses campers in the wonderful world of science, with previous sessions including coding, chemistry, biology, physics, ecology, kinesiology, and forensics. The goal is that campers will leave camp with a greater knowledge and a deeper passion for science and all of its components by creating, building, and assembling a variety of take-home projects and exploring how science affects the world around us. |

Junior: 7-8, Inter: 9-10, Senior: 11,14 |
Our ultimate camp has been designed for those campers who aren't quite sure what their *spark* is yet, and want to have the chance to experience every part of camp. They'll have an enthusiastic counselor who wants to help them have fun in all of our different areas - rotating between Sports, Arts, STEM, and Outdoor Education. We know that everyone finds their favorite hobby at different times, and some people just love new activities, so this camp is designed to provide diverse experiences and guaranteed fun! |
Our leadership programs are for anyone over 13 who is looking to gain some new experience and help to find their future path.

Leaders in Training (LIT) |

Ages 15-17 |
Our 3-week LIT program provides aspiring leaders with an immersive and challenging experience to start their leadership journey. They will participate in sessions to teach them core skills in planning, facilitation, group dynamics, situational leadership, and team building which will culminate in the opportunity to plan and run their own session. LITs will participate in a placement to shadow and assist an experienced camp counselor, which can count towards volunteer hours for high school. We will also explore resume-writing, practice interviews, and conduct evaluations to offer regular feedback. Previous programs have also included a 4-day canoe trip in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park to develop independence, team work, physical literacy, and nature appreciation. |
We know that everyone's camp experience and situation is unique, so we also have optional extras to sign up for:
