We are so excited to be offering Summer Camp Programming for the 2021 Season! Camps will still have weekly themes, but will adhere to COVID-19 Safety and Screening Protocols to ensure the safety of participants and staff alike.
May 26th, 2021 Information Notice:
We have been busy planning an exciting Summer for camp!
Please be advised, as per the Provincial announcement on May 20th of the new Roadmap for Re-opening Ontario, indoor swimming pool use is listed in Step 3. Depending on vaccination numbers and other factors, this would mean we will not be able to use the pool (as intended to be part of camp) until late July or early August. We will give notice as soon as we are able to resume pool use. In the meantime, we will have more fun themed activities taking place!
For more information on on COVID-19 Camp Guidelines be sure to check out the Region of Waterloo' Camp Guidance or the Ministry of Health COVID-19 Guidance: Summer Day Camps for the 2020 season. These Guidelines will be updated on our website once the current years are received. For Specific information on the Safety and Screening Protocols for Township of Wilmot Camps specifically, please see the COVID-19 Summer Camp Information Sheet.

Is your child ready for camp? |
|
To support your child's enjoyment and safety at camp, as well as the enjoyment and safety of the other campers, it is important to ensure your child is "camp ready." To help you determine this, we have put together a checklist for your use. The checklist provides some basic information on what we expect of your child as well as the rules for camp participants. Our goal is to keep every child safe and to ensure that they have an enjoyable camp experience. |
Rules for camp for participants |
Zero Tolerance Policy:There will be no hitting, kicking, shoving, spitting, stealing, or damage of another person or their property while at camp. If this occurs, parents will be contacted immediately and the child will not be welcomed back at camp after their first incident at the parents expense. No refunds will be issued. |

Volunteering at day camps |
|
Volunteers play an important role with ensuring the success of our day camps. Volunteers support camp counsellors with playing games, helping with crafts and instructing activities during camp. They are given the opportunity to create an activity plan and lead one activity during the week with the assistance of the Camp Counsellors. To volunteer with our day camps, you must be at least 13 years of age. If interested, please complete the volunteer application and return it to the Supervisor of Recreation Programming. Please note that due to COVID-19 Camp Operational Guidelines, we are not able to offer the Youth Volunteer Leadership Program for the 2021 summer. |
