March 16, 2024 | | Community

A world of adventure awaits your children this summer at camps in Caledon, Dufferin, Erin and nearby communities. And it’s never too early to start planning! Our Kids Camps in the Hills page is your go-to guide to camps and activities across the Headwaters region. Here’s a sampling of what’s already available – check in with us regularly for updates.

Traditional Camps

Kids swim in a lake, play forest games and prep for talent shows at the sprawling 30-acre Kids Inc. in Erin. At TRCA’s Albion Hills Field Centre in Caledon, kids learn wilderness survival skills, meet animals, and explore art in nature. Caledon’s Teen Ranch offers day and overnight camps, with pony rides, indoor skating, rock climbing and swimming. Campers try woodworking, archery and nature education at Camp Mansfield in Mulmur. This year Mono’s Compass Camps offers weekly themes like Space Trek and Knights & Castles. Sign up early for the Town of Orangeville’s popular Camp Aliquam, as well as Island Lake ECO Camp for hiking, fishing and canoeing in Mono.

Sports Camps

The Hill Academy in Caledon offers soccer, hockey and lacrosse, while the Field of Dreams Baseball Camp will have them running for the bases. In Orangeville Twisters Gymnastics and Champion
 Cheer Academy get children tumbling. They’ll sink some putts at Lynbrook 
Family Golf Centre in Amaranth or the 18-hole Shelburne Golf & Country Club. Mono’s Athlete Institute is known for volleyball, basketball and soccer camps. Tennis, squash and pickleball reign at the Headwaters Racquet Club in Amaranth, as does Muay Thai at Art of 8 in Orangeville.

Arts Camps

Unleash your child’s creativity through visual arts and music at Streams Community Hub in Shelburne. Budding performers will feel right at home at Theatre Orangeville or Hit That Note Music Studio in Bolton. Channel kids’ inner artists at Orangeville’s Maggiolly Art, Pottery Parties, Art with Jada and Ricky Schaede Art Studio. They’ll dance, sing and act at The Academy of Performing Arts, Citrus Dance and Studio 3. The Raise-an-Artist Project in Ballinafad offers painting, pottery, filmmaking, zine drawing and more. The Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives in Brampton offers a wide range of arts and crafts camps, too.

Embrace creativity at the Streams Community Hub in Shelburne.

Outdoor Camps

If your kids need less screen and more green, At Last Forest Schools at Monora Park has kids outdoors all day climbing trees and building forts. Fiddlehead Care Farm in Mono introduces kids with unique physical and psychosocial needs to farm life and gets their hands dirty. And there’s no such thing as bad weather at the massive 130-acre GO Adventure in Melancthon.

Science Camps

Though the themes change yearly, STEM Camp in Orangeville always incorporates coding with Minecraft, games, robotics and building models. The Museum of Dufferin in Mulmur has exciting themes like Archaeology Camp with hands-
on digs, and CSI Camp where kids become crime-scene investigators.

Get ready to ride at Silver Fox Equine.

Equestrian Camps

Children pursue their love of horses at one of the many riding camps in horsey Headwaters, including Black Acres, Silver Fox Equine or Cantercall Riding School
 in Mono, the Rusty Jade Ranch and Caledon Equestrian School in Caledon, and Erin’s Greyden Equestrian Centre.
