Humber Arboretum day camps are based out of the Centre for Urban Ecology, but campers will spend most of their time outdoors where they will make their own discoveries in the woodlands, river, meadows, wetlands, gardens, and ponds of the Humber Arboretum. Our camps are accredited by the Ontario Camps Association, meeting the OCA's high standards for professionalism, accessibility, and safety.
Every week of camp includes:
- Forest exploration
- Pond dipping
- Ecology games
- Indoor swimming and pizza on Fridays
Plus other activities inspired by the weekly theme.
