Anonymous Former Camper (alumnus)Summer Club, Holiday Camp, March Break Camp I really enjoy going to the ROM camp because it is one of my favorite camps and it holds a special place in my heart. To fully understand why I enjoy the ROM camp so much we must first go back to when I first started attending in 2014. Although I was young aged 7 at the time, I was immediately impressed by h...

Parent of 1-to-1 Camper (parent)Inclusion at ROMKids My daughter had her first ever summer camp with ROMKids when she was 5 years old. As a kid with special needs, she had never attended any programs where there were no teachers, EAs, nurses or parents. We started with half-day although she had one-to-one support. It went very well and opened the door to a whole ... Show More |

At the risk of stating the obvious, the resources available at the ROM are varied, vast, and unequalled, and the summer programs make the most of all of it. Like the museum collections, the summer sessions are based in social and natural history, with each session crafted around a specific theme. Simply attending the museum for a week is, for many kids, a thrill in and of itself. Developing a relationship with docents only furthers that; campers feel that they have a unique access to the staff and the collections, and, frankly, they do. The summer programs have been running for more than 75 years, and while it’s less obvious in the day-to-day, there’s a tradition here as well, one of growing an interest in the world around us, and building an engagement with others based in a specific set of curiosities. The camps are very professionally presented, with programs run by expert, experienced staff. Any way you care to cut it, there’s a lot to love.
