School Break Camps and Programs
COVID-19 Update: This year, camp programming looks a little different in Richmond Hill. We're happy to provide a variety of recreation options to keep children active, engage their imaginations and unleash their creativity in a physically distanced environment.

The P.A.R.K program (Park, Adventure, Recreation for Kids) is an opportunity for children to enjoy outdoor activities at different parks in Richmond Hill. The program may include a variety of activities such as arts, crafts, games, sports, and exploring nature during this hour and a half outdoor session. Parents or caregivers (18 years and older) must be on site for the duration of the program. |
Camp program will follow the provincial guidelines and public health protocols, and will only go ahead if the Province allows. Richmond Hill reserves the right to change or cancel the camp programming at any time.
New this year – Camper Information Intake Form
The new camper intake form replaces the paper forms for Camper Information, Authorized Participant Pick Up and Sign Out, and Participant Allergy and Medication Forms. Parents of registered campers will be emailed this before camp starts. Please complete the form at least one week before the participant starts camp. Note: This form MUST be filled out the Friday (by 12 p.m.) before camp and you only need to fill the form out once per summer.

While camp will look a little different this year with a number of health and safety measures in place, we still have a fun-filled summer ahead! Abiding by provincial guidelines, Summer Camp 2021 will take place primarily outdoors, including daily Sign In and Out, weather permitting. Campers should come prepared to be outside all day with the exception of washroom breaks. All campers, parents and staff are required to wear face masks – make sure to pack an extra mask in case there is a need to change it through the day! Campers will be required to complete a COVID-19 self-assessment screening before joining camp each day. The screening form is available online. There will also be a QR code on site. Complete the form on your phone and show the approval page to staff at sign in each day. Campers will be assigned to a cohort for their week of camp. Each cohort has dedicated camp counsellors to make sure everyone has a fun camp experience. There is no overlap in cohorts and participants will not be able to change groups. We have one lunch break and two snack breaks. Please remember that all camps are NUT-FREE (this includes packaging that “May Contain Nuts”. If your snack is homemade, please include a note stating it is “Nut-Free”). Bring a pre-filled water bottle too. Camp will be outdoors all summer long, weather-permitting, so make sure to pack sunscreen and a hat. To help you organize your camper for the first day, here’s a handy Camper Checklist:
