What Is Camp Like?
Each week of TCAG camp is carefully planned by our staff team and counsellors, and is designed to encourage exploration, creativity and social skill-building. Camp weeks are themed, and often include a field trip, guest workshop, or special theme day!
Here’s what a typical summer camp day looks like:
7:30 – 9:00am Morning Extended Care
9:00 – 9:15am Group Opening Circle
9:15 – 10:00am Program 1

4:00 – 4:30pm Free Time Play
4:30 – 5:30pm Afternoon Extended Care
While we strive to be a fully accessible facility, we currently do not have the staffing to support campers on a 1:1 basis.
For this reason, and to help ensure a successful camp experience for each and every participant, it is important that all campers are able to cope in a busy, highly populated, stimulating environment and are able to follow directions.
Some independence is required for campers to be successful in our camp environment. In addition, for safety reasons, any camper that displays consistent difficulty following the rules of camp, the direction of camp counsellors or refuses to participate will be required to be picked up by a parent/guardian.
We believe in the importance of camp for all kids – if you’d like further information about our partner organizations and finding a camp that might be a better fit for your child, please give us a call at 905-227-0545 ext. 26
Our Camp Leadership Team is comprised of an exceptionally qualified staff.
