Traditional Camps

Traditional summer camps in Ontario and Quebec offer a wide range of sports, recreational, creative and social activities. From games, canoeing, swimming and hiking to arts, crafts, music and campfires, opportunities abound. Many residential camps and some day camps fall into this category.

That' s not to say that it's all traditional camp activities; there may be many non-"traditional" activities such as climbing walls, specialised gymnastics and trampoline programs.
