Vaughan On-site Summer Camps: July 20 to September 4

We’re not ones to break tradition, but this year summer camps will be anything but traditional! Spend the summer with us at our modified, on-site summer camps, based out of Vaughan community centres and heritage homes, with visits to surrounding parks.

Camps are designed to keep children ages six to 12 active, entertained and—most importantly, safe—and feature your favourite camp activities, including: outdoor and nature-based play, games, arts & crafts and special theme days!

The modified summer camp program follows guidelines and health precautions set out by the Province of Ontario and York Public Health, including physical distancing and smaller camper group size. Each group, with no more than 8 campers, will be assigned its own space for defined activity periods and a dedicated washroom. Enhanced cleaning and disinfecting protocols have been implemented and assigned camp counsellors will remain with the same group of children all week.

Details and direct links to registration can be found on our online registration portal RecOnline. For more information or to obtain a registration barcode and PIN, contact Access Vaughan at 905.832.2281 or accessvaughan@vaughan.ca.
