  • Overview

    Here's what makes Toronto Botanical Garden stand out

    TBG offers hands-on learning experiences in our children's garden, neighbouring ravine and in our cozy classroom. Nature Camps offer fun-filled exploration during Summer, March Break, Winter and PA Days. All camps include child centered learning activities, time for self-guided outdoor play and crafts and activities that extend our outdoor learning.

    • Special needs: Not available

    Programs and Sessions Calendar

    TBGKids camps start in our warm and inviting children's centre, our home base. Campers get to know each other and their counsellors before exploring the wide variety of outdoor areas to explore around the Toronto Botanical Garden. Campers learn about (and try!) vegetables in our vegetable gardens, paint flowers in our stunning gardens and, of course, explore and learn directly from nature in our local forest and ravine system. The Teaching Garden located a 15-minute walk from the children's centre becomes our "home away from home" where campers can help tend to the garden, play in the mud kitchen and harvest vegetables to share with our partners at the North York Harvest Food Bank.

    Registration Details

    Camp registration is online at www.torontobotanicalgarden.ca. Registration has two parts: the first is registering for your selected week and age range. Age ranges all overlap to allow parents to group campers with a friend even if they are a year older or younger than the camper. After registration, a link is sent out to collect pertinent information designed to help us ensure campers have the best experience possible at camp. This includes pick-up information, health and medical concerns as well as any additional details parents and guardians would like to share.

    The Our Kids review of Toronto Botanical Garden

    our take

    One of the mainstays of Toronto, the Toronto Botanical Garden isn’t just a beautiful place to visit. Their TBGKids camps and family programs are great ways to learn about nature, while entertaining and enriching kids’ development. Using hands-on activities, campers connect with nature in ways parents wouldn’t have thought possible. The facilities at Toronto Botanical Garden are extensive, with a ravine system, forest, creek, and gorgeous and extensive gardens available without leaving the property. Exploring the property isn’t the only activity at this camp—kids can cultivate their own vegetation and use it for cooking or art. The mud kitchen is wildly popular—if the kid doesn’t go home dirty, did they really have fun? Learning life skills is also a large part of the Toronto Botanical Garden’s camps. Responsibility is a big one, but also empathy, and learning to care for something other than yourself. Each week boasts a different theme, so kids are excited to come back and see what else they can do at Toronto Botanical Garden.
