Summer is one of the best and most popular seasons in Ontario. The sun shines, the temperature is hot and outdoor activities are around every single corner in all regions of our beautiful province.
Summer vacation for kids can be tricky. While parents work, it can be challenging to keep children busy and active. Lucky for parents, Ontario offers a wide range of day camps where children can go be with their peers and have some fun.
Day camps can offer your child’s favourite activity, or teach them a new one. Your kids will love day camps and meeting new friends.
