Get your camper exploring Toronto or Montreal! With City Scouts, each day is a new adventure of navigating transit, tasting unique foods, and earning points to prove your team is the top urban adventurers. We prepare campers for the next stages of their independence by building their confidence and enjoyment in discovering their city.
City Scouts, at its core, came from the idea that exploring the City is fun and exciting for a kid who is just starting to become more aware of their surroundings. Year after year, our programming has evolved to maximize how much of the city kids can see in a week and what are some unique and exciting ways to engage with what the city has to offer. Exploring new cities can often feel reduced to events, monuments, or museums. We want kids to have an experience that leaves them feeling eager to continue discovering new parts of Toronto and other Cities around the world.

We often think of camp as synonymous with the presence of a lake, some forest, canoes and campfires. Of course, camp isn’t that. You could even have all those things and still not have camp. A better definition would be this: counsellors who work to bring kids together to have fun, to grow, to experience new things, and to build friendships, skills and resilience. And, while City Scouts - Les Scouts Urbains may not look like the camp stereotype, it nevertheless provides all of those things in abundance. Riley Millican founded City Scouts - Les Scouts Urbains in a belief in the power of counsellors’ ability to build great relationships, and in the understanding that the urban jungle, in and of itself, is a fantastic place to explore. This isn’t about going to attractions—the ROM one day, the AGO the next, and Wonderland at the end of the week—but really digging in and experiencing the city in and of itself. Which, frankly, kids love, as well they should. The city is a vibrant place that they often only see while on their way somewhere; they lack authentic opportunities to interact with the spaces and the people they find there. City Camp is, for many kids, a unique opportunity to slow down, even within the urban rush, and to explore their world in a new way with a bunch of other kids just like them, and all wearing the same t-shirts. For parents, it’s a great, eminently cost-effective option, right there on your doorstep.
Our staff operate as group leaders of their team. They are working with their small group of campers all day which really gives them a chance to understand each camper in a one-on-one fashion. We hire only staff who are 18 or older unless they have completed our CIT program which allows them to be hired at 17 if we found them to be exceptionally talented.

"Our son went to City Scouts last summer and gained a whole new appreciation for Toronto. He tried new things. He discovered new places. And he gained the confidence to navigate the TTC. He's looking forward to doing it again this summer"
"As a parent in Toronto, there is so much to be worried about and there is a tendency to protect kids from any risk to the point that they are never given freedom to explore. Riley Millican has created an amazingly special camp that gave my son the opportunity to learn more about our city and the tools to navigate it! We will definitely be signing up again for this summer."
