About

Welcome to the 2025 Camp Season! 

We are thrilled to welcome new and returning campers, along with their families, to our beautiful 10-acre waterfront campus this summer. Whether you are coming back or joining us for the first time, we have an exciting season ahead! 

For our returning campers, you will notice some updates to this year’s camp programming. While we are still focusing on the core programs we do best, like Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Circus Arts and Marine Camps, we are also bringing back some beloved classics, like Kinder Explorers, Dungeons & Dragons, Chess and Magic. 

We are also excited to introduce amazing new partners this year! We’ve teamed up with The Second City, bringing fresh and engaging learning opportunities like our Theatre: Improv Camp program that will captivate your campers.

At Harbourfront Centre Camps, our mission is to foster an inclusive and creative learning community. We are dedicated to providing campers with a summer full of new experiences, hands-on activities and the chance to develop critical life skills in a safe, supportive space. Above all, we strive to create a diverse community where campers learn and connect through dialogue, social interaction and creativity. 

We cannot wait to see you all this summer and share in the adventure! 

Warmly,

The Education Team
