We believe that teacher directors with physical education and coaching backgrounds make the best sports camp directors. Our teacher advantage allows us to access our vast networks of teachers to recruit top students to work at our camps. Our teaching background has proven instrumental in developing a sports camp program that even kids who don't like sports will ask their parents to come back to. Further, our leadership program for young teens is developed based on proven leadership principles from business, student leadership and is a valuable three week program to prepare teens to confidently pursue their dreams. We know how to lead our excellent teams of staff to best care for your children, because it's what we do every day!

Reviews & Insider Perspectives
The Our Kids review of Rouge Camps

The best teachers make for the best experiences for kids. That’s why Rouge Camps extensively vet all of their camp teachers to ensure they are skilled, ambitious, and character-driven. They are also teachers or teachers-in-training. Founder Adam Buchnea is a teacher himself, and knows the value of camp to develop kids’ development. He believes that teaching life skills through sport is the best way to help kids learn discipline, independence, empathy, and confidence. While Rouge Camps has a focus on sports and the outdoors, that isn’t all that they do. Games, dress-up, live theatre, arts and crafts, are also on the line-up. The wide variety of sports activities are rotated throughout the day and lets kids be introduced to new sports or practice the ones they already love. Camps for older kids focus on leadership skills so that kids come back to help teach camp programs themselves. Rouge Camps is one of the best youth employers in the GTA, and that could be a testament to what they teach at their camp.

Director's Message

Rouge Camps is a safe place for young campers to explore their interests, grow in character, develop movement skills and be adventurous. Our exciting programs include over 15 different sports and activities, including camper favourites soccer, dance, basketball, floor hockey and fully themed camp-wide-activities. Our campers love our programs because they offer a variety of different activities through our exploratory sport periods, but also allow our campers to participate in the activities that they love most in our elective periods. Parent's are also happy to hear that we offer fun educational periods twice a week to keep their campers mentally engaged during the summer months. With 12+ years of teaching experience and 16 years of camp experience I have seen the power camp has on a young person's development. In only a week our young campers grow in confidence and become more comfortable in their own skin. We are able to do this effectively, at Rouge Camps, because a network of teachers from around the region refer to us their best students. We have top university and high school seniors who have been chosen for their leadership, strong character and desire to work with children leading our activities. It is our exceptional staff that allow us to deliver on our motto of teaching life through sport and earn ratings of 9/10+ by both campers and their parents. Furthermore, our Camp Directors are all trained teachers and understand that you as parents want to be informed of what your campers are doing at camp. You will thoroughly enjoy our daily recap emails and video's posted to social media throughout the day to keep up to date on all of the fun your camper(s) are having. Register with Rouge Camps this summer to find out what the buzz is about and experience the Rouge Difference for yourself!

Staff and Counsellors

Our staff are carefully selected high school seniors and university students from our network of teachers. Our staff are diverse and selected for their strong character, desire help kids grow, academic aptitude and sport skill. We believe and our parents tell us that are staff are exceptional!
