The following programs are being offered for the upcoming camp seasons:
July and August, 8 Weeks Offered, for Ages 2.5+
March 16 - 20, 2026, for Ages 2.5 - 12
Summertime in the forest brings many new opportunities–longer days, more activities on the farm, and sunshine! Whether it is your child’s first time at camp or an experienced camper, staff will help them navigate this wonderful environment. Children are surrounded by nature, animals, and people who truly care about them.
Some activities may include pond exploration, caring for our farm animals, wildlife tracking, using tools, fire building, cookouts, plant identification, and problem-solving how to build the strongest forts.

Overview
Educators: All of our Head Counsellors are either Ontario Certified Teachers, Early Childhood Educators, or have other relevant childcare experience. Our staff are trained in First Aid with CPR and AED, as well, they all have recent clear Vulnerable Sector Checks.
Additionally, our Inclusion Facilitator is proud to offer support to children who may have a neurodivergent diagnosis, experience learning differences, and need occasional support to be successful during their Forest School or camp experience. The role of the Inclusion Facilitator is to support an individual child for a short period to reintegrate them back into their group.
Students must be able to communicate their needs for a restroom and be fully toilet-trained. Also, students must not require naps while at Camp. Although we realize that our youngest learners may be in the process of transitioning out of naptime, the expectation is that students have the stamina to enjoy an active, outdoor program for the full day.

Preschool, Kindergarten, and School Age Camps
These camps follow the tenets of Forest School, as outlined in these 10 Forest School Principles. With a wide age group of participants, opportunities for exchanging ideas, sharing, and mentoring become plentiful. Our programs are designed around the campers’ interests, the weather, and the amazing places our property has to offer.
Offerings may include:

Junior Farmers (Ages 10-14)
This program is geared towards children who are interested in animal interactions and agricultural literacy. Topics include: how to care for animals and enrich their environment, observing and learning about the crops on the farm (planting, harvesting, growth cycles), tending to the Garden, managing the Market Stand, a visit to the neighbouring modern dairy barn, and learning about the role of technology in agriculture. No previous agricultural knowledge or experience is required.
*NEW* Adult Inclusion Camp (Ages 18+)
This camp is designed for adults with exceptionalities. The participants will spend time with us on the farm and in the forest practicing valuable life skills such as cooking, social interactions, cooperative games, and trying new things! Siblings and friends of adults with exceptionalities may also attend as campers during this week. The daily schedule runs the same as other weeks of camp (see Daily Schedule below).
LIT (Leaders in Training) (Ages 11-14)
This program focuses on developing leadership skills in connection with working with younger campers. Participants will work with their fellow LITs to build trust, complete teamwork challenges, increase their self-awareness, and build self-confidence. Participants will work with younger campers in many capacities, such as assisting counsellors with preparing materials for makerspace activities, games, and activities, supporting campers who enjoy having a special older ‘friend’, eating lunch with campers, etc. LITs will set stretch goals for themselves, such as leading a group activity, song, or story for the group. Participants should be ready to help and serve in order to foster leadership skills. Although they will come alongside the younger campers in a play-based environment, their role is to assist in leading the group (not playing themselves)
