In addition to offering 10 weeks of Summer Camps at our main location on Richmond Street, we will be offering two weeks of Summer Camp programming at our satellite location at the Darlene Ryan Centre (40 Cross Street, Thorold) in Port Robinson. These additional two weeks of camp will take place during Week 5 (July 27-31) and Week 6 (August 4-7).

The TCAG runs a full day camp program during all school breaks and ten weeks of the summer. Our camp programs are offered to children ages 5 to 11 years and are organized according to age group on a full-time basis.
WHAT IS CAMP LIKE?
Each week of TCAG camp is carefully planned by our staff team and counsellors, and is designed to encourage exploration, creativity and social skill-building. Camp weeks are themed, and often include a field trip, guest workshop, or special theme day!
Here’s what a typical camp day looks like:
7:30 – 9:00am - Morning Extended Care
9:00 – 9:15am - Group Opening Circle
9:15 – 10:00am - Program 1
10:00 – 10:30am - Morning Snack
10:30 – 11:15am - Program 2
11:15 – 12:00pm - Program 3
12:00 – 1:00pm - Lunch/Pool Prep
1:00 – 2:00pm - Thorold Pool and/or Splash Pad
2:00 – 2:45pm - Afternoon Snack/Pool Change
2:45 – 3:30pm - Program 4
3:30 - 4:30pm - Free Time/Group Closing Circle
4:30 – 5:30pm - Afternoon Extended Care
While we strive to be a fully accessible facility, we currently do not have the staffing to support campers on a 1:1 basis.
For this reason, and to help ensure a successful camp experience for each and every participant, it is important that all campers are able to cope in a busy, highly populated, stimulating environment and are able to follow directions.
Some independence is required for campers to be successful in our camp environment. In addition, for safety reasons, any camper that displays consistent difficulty following the rules of camp, the direction of camp counsellors or refuses to participate will be required to be picked up by a parent/guardian.
We believe in the importance of camp for all kids – if you’d like further information about our partner organizations and finding a camp that might be a better fit for your child, please give us a call at 905-227-0545 ext. 26
The TCAG's Family Support Fund helps families access childcare, camp, and recreation programming. This fund is limited because it is supported solely by donations. In order to stretch it, we ask you to consider paying a portion per week or month so we can help as many people as possible. We are happy to work with you to find an amount that will work for your current situation, and are able to adjust this amount if need be.
Click the button below to access our subsidy request form. Requests should be submitted after registering for camp but before full payment has been made. We will reach out to discuss your request within 5 business days. Although we do our best, subsidies are not guaranteed.
