Summer Camps
An exciting summer camp season is just around the corner, packed with more than 80 unique camps (including 10 brand-new ones), which means campers can do anything and everything. Vaughan’s summer camps continue to deliver enriching experiences that spark creativity, foster lifelong friendships and create lasting memories for our young campers — and this year will be no exception!
Explore the 2024 Summer Camps Brochure and register at vaughan.perfectmind.com! All camp program codes link directly to online registration and an accessible version (PDF) is also available. Camps are one- or two-week sessions over the course of nine weeks beginning Tuesday, July 2.
What’s in store
As we celebrate the return of beloved classics, we also invite you to discover 10 brand-new and inspiring camps that promise adventure, exploration and a dash of intrigue. Summer camps are organized into nine categories: creative arts, culinary arts, enrichment, leadership,outdoor adventures, performing arts, recreation, sports and water adventures.
Our summer camp lineup wouldn’t be complete without programs that are accessible, supportive and catered to children of all abilities. Our selection of inclusion camps ensure kids and youth with disabilities can live their best camp life, too. Options for inclusion support are also available.
