We are a secular, plant-based summer camp in Schomberg, Ontario. Since 2014, our campers have enjoyed traditional camp activities such as high ropes, low ropes, hiking, swimming, shelter building, archery, crafts as well as yoga, meditation & environmental education. Our program helps build leadership, critical thinking, and team-building while encouraging respect for animals, people & the planet. Camp runs from July 5-11 for youth aged 9-17. Campers are divided into age appropriate grouping for learning sessions and campers in Grade 10-12 have the option of earning an Ontario high school with the in-person portion held at camp. A dedicated team of counsellors brings energy, passion & fun to every camper’s experience.
