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

Our devoted and enthusiastic team of counsellors are motivated to create an environment that fosters growth, empowering campers to explore their natural abilities and understand the value of teamwork and collaboration. Our ultimate goal is to offer an enjoyable and thrilling experience that inspires our campers, instills them with courage, confidence, and a strong sense of self, wherever their future takes them.

In order to be eligible for Camp subsidy from the TCAG, you must provide proof of denied funding from the Region: https://www.missioninc.com/cso/niagara/en-ca/services

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.
