CampTO will be available from early July to late August in neighbourhoods across the city, helping children and youth stay active, learn new skills, make friends and create fun memories. The City continues to offer CampTO Plus at community centres and at Toronto History Museum sites that focus on a particular interest or skill area such as arts, circus, creative writing, and a variety of sports, magic, nature, drama, dance, science, and French. Adapted and inclusive programs for participants ranging in ages from six to 29 years of age with special needs or a disability will also be available.
Counsellor-In-Training (CIT) programs are also available, providing participants between 13 and 16 years of age an introduction to the fundamentals of being a Camp Counsellor. Participants will learn about program planning, working with campers in an interactive environment and will experience a supervised practical placement in a City summer camp.
