For young, avid learners, educational and technology programs are also available, where kids participate in programming and STEM challenges, or receive homework help or learning strategies.
Overnight camps in Brampton
Brampton summer camps also include overnight options. Brampton’s overnight camps combine arts, sports, and technology activities into a single curriculum. Some days, your child learns how to dance or play musical instruments, while others are filled with STEAM challenges and sport games. Itineraries are packed with exciting activities right up to the evening, when kids and teens participate in late-night bonfires or movie nights.
These camps offer an essential summer camp experience, where your child forms intimate friendships with fellow campers while gaining important independent skills. Your child meets countless new friends with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and interests. Accommodations are typically separated by age and gender. Overnight camps are a great way for kids and teens to practice staying grounded in their beliefs, morals, and character when away from parent supervision.
How to find the best Brampton camps for your child
Our Kids’ annual Toronto Summer Camp Expo in February is an ideal resource to help parents and guardians find the best Brampton summer camps for your son or daughter. At the expo, meet dozens of camp directors and counsellors to further understand each camps’ ethos. By attending the Camp Expo, you may be introduced to camps you have never heard of. It’s an excellent resource to help you fill up your kids’ summer schedule.
The selection process should be a collaboration between you and your child. Your child might have different goals than you (i.e. trying a new activity, staying at an overnight camp, etc.), and it is important you take their interests into consideration as you choose your camp.
Using the expo and other resources, start with a list of your personal essential elements of camp, like:
- camps’ learning goals
- available activities
- price and age range
- location
After narrowing down your options, inquire for information directly from camp leaders, including the following:
- itineraries for each of the camp’s sessions
- safety measures
- accommodations
Further advice can be found on our site. When you compare summer camps in Brampton, focus on fit: the program type, the daily schedule, and the camp culture that will help your child thrive.
