Who are you as an organization?

Crescent Camps offers the best of Crescent School, through our variety of one-week summer programs. Our camps for boys and girls ages 4-16 encourage creativity, innovation, and collaboration. Exceptional staff, including Crescent faculty and alumni, deliver Arts, Robotics & Technology, Sports, Nature, and Business programs with enthusiasm and expertise.

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

We emphasize a challenge by choice mindset to our programming, encouraging campers to take small steps outside their comfort zone in a safe environment. With each camp lasting one week, campers set goals for the week through project-based learning. From designing a dream home in Budding Architects, to building a robot in our Robotics camps, children learn how to work collaboratively with others, regardless of their experience level. Being situated in Toronto, we are lucky to have an expansive green space and trail system. By utilizing this space for our low ropes course, nature hikes, and shelter building, campers can enjoy traditional camp experiences in the comfort of a Toronto day camp.

Who are your staff and counsellors?

Our programs are led by Head Instructors, who are teachers, subject matter experts, and leaders in their field. Camps are supported by Counsellors and Volunteers who are either university or high school students. All staff are trained in health and safety practices, and Head Instructors are certified in Standard First Aid and CPR-C to complement our camp nurse. With a high rate of returning staff each summer, Crescent Camps have fostered an inclusive camp staff culture consisting of Crescent School Faculty, Alumni, and Students, as well as several TDSB teachers and students.

What do families need to know about registration and joining Crescent Camps?

Crescent Camps are open to all children ages 4-13. Registration begins on December 1, 2023, through our website and closes at noon on the Thursday before each camp program begins, subject to availability. Cancellations made before June 3, 2024, will be refunded minus a $100 administrative fee. There are no refunds after June 3, 2024. If you would like to switch your child's camps or weeks, this can be done free of charge, provided that there is space available in the camp program. If you have any questions about Crescent Camps and whether our programs are suitable for your child, please do not hesitate to contact us at crescentcamps@crescentschool.org
