OUR STORY

Meet the summer camp behind Toronto's happiest summers

OUR STORY

How did Barnard Summer Camp get started?

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 VALUES

The Barnard way

Every child belongs here. We keep groups small, activities flexible, and encouragement loud so each camper finds their place.
