Tips to locate an appropriate camp for your child

Please visit the following websites for detailed camp information.

The Ontario Camping Association is a referral agency that recognizes camps for standards, safety and care. You can contact them by calling 416-485-0425 or visit the website at www.ontariocamps.ca.

Once you have chosen an appropriate camp that meets the needs of your child, contact the camp directly and inquire about session availability. It is best to contact the camp as early in the year as possible. Many camps have waiting lists.

If you require financial assistance, ask if the camp offers subsidies to help pay for the camp fees. Be prepared to provide personal financial information to the camp as it must assess the amount of financial support you will receive. The camp may ask about your monthly income including: wages after tax, if you are receiving social assistance and child support. The camp may also inquire about your monthly expenses including: rent, utilities, day care, food, transportation, clothing, etc.
