Summary Profile
About Toronto Kidz
We offer a wide range of camps for children 5-12. Our KIDZ CAMP for 5-10 year-olds follows a weekly theme - Pirates, Underwater World, Dinosaurs, Animals, etc. Weekly field trips take us to Toronto's main attractions such as Ripley's Aquarium, the ROM, Toronto Zoo, a Pirate Cruise, etc. Our days are active and fun with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities.
Our JUNIOR CAMP for campers 8-12 years offers a different focus each week such as Science, Gemania, Leadership, Healthy living, Outdoors and Arts. When we are not learning about the specific topic, we spend time outdoors in parks and on field trips, do arts & crafts, play games, etc.

- LGBTQ+ friendly community
COVID-19 Response
While we prepare for our in-person summer camp in 2021, we continue monitoring the situation in Ontario and following guidelines provided by the Provincial Government and Public Health.
We are very grateful that we successfully ran our in-person camp for 7 weeks in 2020. While we adhered to all guidelines provided by Public Health, campers spent valuable time with peers and camp counselors and had a blast.
We are currently accepting registrations at two camp locations with only a 50% deposit requirement. Furthermore, all camp fees are fully refundable until March 31st, 2021. With these new policies, we hope to provide peace of mind for our camp families while securing their summer camp spots early.

Insider Reviews & Perspectives
The Our Kids review of Toronto Kidz
Brigitte Gallegos, founder and director of Toronto Kidz Summer Camp created the camp to make the most of what the city has to offer. She wanted to allow kids to explore areas of their city, and to let experience the full range of what it has to offer. The programs—a series of weekly day camp sessions offered throughout the summer months—have been designed to access those possibilities. Each session is built around a specific theme, and the entire city is a programming resource: Pirates Week includes a cruise around Centre Island; Animals and Nature Week includes a trip to High Park Nature Centre; Pokémon Week includes a visit to Fort York. It is run out of a space within the St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, just north of High Park and in the heart of one of the city’s most varied urban communities. The location, in any way you care to look at it, has a lot to offer. There are private green spaces and a wealth of indoor activity space, all of it providing a welcome break from the bustle of the city. Each day at camp includes crafts and drawing, and stimulation with music and dance. The course of each day includes all of that, from running games in the park, to sitting quietly to record the day’s events in a journal.

Director's Message
Brigitte Gallegos, Director
We are passionate about the urban family life in Toronto and raising kids in this versatile city. We believe that living here offers children the opportunity to grow into independent, open minded and global citizens. With TORONTO KIDZ we want to offer families in Toronto children services that are accessible, affordable and a lot of fun! Our summer camp is the first one of many services that we’ll offer to support busy families in Toronto.
Brigitte, the Camp Director has always been passionate about kids and how to raise a caring child who goes through life seeing its endless possibilities. Working in the travel industry with Youth trips and lately for WE, a charity that empowers youth to change the world, she has witnessed how interested and caring the next generation is. With TORONTO KIDZ, she hopes to contribute to raising the next generation in a meaningful way.

Exploring the city with Toronto Kidz
“It’s such a great city for kids,” says Brigitte Gallegos, founder and director of Toronto Kidz Summer Camp. Certainly, she created the camp for precisely that reason: to make the most of what the city has to offer. She wanted to allow kids to explore areas of their city, “to let them see that there are so many possibilities, so many things that they can explore and do.”
The programs—a series of weekly day camp sessions offered throughout the summer months—have been designed to access those possibilities. Each session is built around a specific theme, and the entire city is a programming resource: Pirates Week includes a cruise around Centre Island; Animals and Nature Week includes a trip to High Park Nature Centre; Pokémon Week includes a visit to Fort York.
Finding a balance
It’s as much about getting out and seeing the world as it is about making connections between communities, ideas, and people. Gallegos comes to all of that honestly, having worked as a travel director for adult and youth groups, most recently as part of the Me To We staff.
Toronto Kidz is run out of a space within the St. Martin-in-the-Fields church, just north of High Park and in the heart of one of the city’s most varied urban communities. The location, in any way you care to look at it, has a lot to offer. There are private green spaces and a wealth of indoor activity space, all of it providing a welcome break from the bustle of the city.
Though, of course, the bustle is good too. “We know how great urban life can be for families.” For Gallegos, it’s about finding the right balance. “There’s a balance between being active outdoors and indoors,” as well as that between fine and gross motor skills. Each day at camp includes crafts and drawing, and stimulation with music and dance. The course of each day includes all of that, from running games in the park, to sitting quietly to record the day’s events in a journal.
In all, each day at Toronto Kidz is a pretty good day. Learning, growing, and building on personal strengths. “I like the way that children explore the world,” says Gallegos, “and I want to help them do that. It’s so nice to see kids be passionate about something.” She’s right of course. It really is.
