Summer Day Camps Details, Dates & Rates

Join us for an exciting summer!

We operate a weekly day camp at our Camp in Longford Mills throughout the summer. Many of our campers come for multiple weeks! Families choose our day camp because we provide complimentary lunches, snacks and transportation from Orillia - that's right, it's all included!

This summer we are excited to announce that our Summer Day Camps are now under the umbrella of our new program, the Learning Centre. The Learning Centre has a very successful school year acting as an outdoor, experiential and nature-based supplement to children's education. We are excited to bring some themes from the Learning Centre to the Summer Day Camp program as we merge two excellent programs creating a fantastic experience for children. These themes include:

fostering a strong connection to ourselves and each other
an appreciation for nature
an experiential & creative focus on exploring camp

All the incredible elements of our traditional summer day camps like canoeing, rock climbing, arts, kayaking, outdoor living skills, archery, nature study, drama, sports and, the most popular program, swimming are in the schedule!
