Day Camp (Ages 6-10)
Day Campers play and flourish in a beautiful and expansive natural environment. There is room to run, explore and create adventures. Though the camp is only minutes away from Ancaster, Dundas and Hamilton, the setting feels like it's hours away from the city.
Day camp unit groups are divided by age with each group containing 12 campers and 2 unit leaders. Day camp sessions operate Monday - Friday with the exception of the short week following the August long weekend (Tuesday - Friday).

Vaccination Policy
Looking ahead to our 2023 Season, our Board of Directors met, reviewed current recommendations, and came to the following decision regarding COVID-19 prevention requirements:
In line with public health recommendations, it is strongly recommended that campers receive their vaccination/booster within 6 months of attendance of the camp program.
COVID-19 Vaccination is not required to register for any program. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and follow any safety directives recommended to us by public health. Depending on the situation as the summer approaches, we commit to providing clear communication about any expected COVID-19 prevention protocols, including masking, distancing, and symptom monitoring practices that may be implemented.
Sessions operate daily with staggered arrival times and pick-ups depending on your campers cabin assignment. Arrival time will either be between 8:30am-8:45am, or 9:00am-9:15am. Pick-up time will either be between 4:50pm- 5:10pm, or 5:15pm- 5:30pm. You will be notified of your cabin group and scheduled arrival and pick-up time ahead of your camp session.
