Barnard Summer Camp began with a simple belief: every child in Toronto deserves a summer that feels safe, fun, and truly theirs. Out of that idea, we built a camp where outdoor play and creativity come first, and every child is welcomed as they are.
Our camp leaders know Toronto kids by name. They blend warmth with steady guidance so every child feels welcome from the first hello.
Camp Director
Samuel leads the camp with a calm, friendly approach. He's the person parents can call with any question, and he makes sure every child finds their place here.
Activities Coordinator
Maya plans the games, crafts, and outdoor adventures that keep campers engaged. She's great at spotting a shy kid and helping them join in.
Group Leader
Jordan leads daily group activities with energy and patience. He makes teamwork fun and helps campers cheer each other on.
Camp Nurse
Laura is on site to handle bumps, scrapes, and everything in between. She's gentle, reassuring, and quick to call parents when needed.
Every child belongs here. We keep groups small, activities flexible, and encouragement loud so each camper finds their place.
Games and activities adapt to every skill level, so no child sits on the sidelines.
Buddy circles and team games help shy campers find their people by day two.
Counselors cheer every attempt, turning a missed shot into a high-five and a new try.
Nature walks and field games get kids moving, exploring, and breathing fresh Toronto air.
Crafts and music stations let kids paint, build, and perform at their own pace.
Morning check-ins give each camper a moment to share, ask, or just be listened to.
Every summer, parents across Toronto trust us with their kids. Here is what they say about the experience.
My son came home every day with a new story and a bigger smile. He made friends he still talks about all winter.

The counselors genuinely care. My daughter felt included from day one, and that made all the difference for our family.
David Okafor
Father of a first-time camper
We tried other camps before. Barnard is the first one where our son actually begged to go back the next morning.
Emily Chen
Mother of two campers
The mix of outdoor play and creative projects kept my kids engaged all summer. They grew so much more confident.
James Patel
Father of two campers
As a single dad, I needed a camp I could trust. The staff kept me updated, and my daughter never wanted to leave.
Marcus Thompson
Father of a camper
My shy little girl came out of her shell here. She now leads group games at school, and I credit this camp.
