OUTDOOR SUMMER CAMP

OUTDOOR SUMMER CAMP

K - Grade 8

This summer, give your kids more than just a week at camp—give them a week of real adventure.

Our Outdoor Adventure Camp is built for all kids. Curious, active kids who thrive outside. Cautious, quiet kids who need more time and space to feel comfortable exploring, and everyone in between! 

 

Each day brings a new landscape to explore, new skills to learn, and new friendships to build. From rock climbing and forest exploration to wildlife discovery and classic camp games, every moment is designed to challenge, inspire, and create lasting memories.

We kick things off at The Grotto, where campers connect through games, learn the fundamentals of climbing, and get comfortable with the gear and each other—setting the tone for an unforgettable week.

From there, the adventure expands. Campers will explore the forests, wetlands, and waterways of the Grand River watershed in Everton, building forts, learning about local wildlife, and even experiencing climbing in a natural setting. At Rockwood, the energy ramps up with capture the flag, high ropes, crafts, and plenty of time to roam and discover.

Midweek, we head out to Hilton Falls (transportation included) to hike scenic trails, explore historic ruins, and cool off near the waterfall while spotting frogs, snakes, and salamanders along the way. We wrap up the week at Rattlesnake Point in Milton (also with transportation included), where campers rock climb, hike, build, create, and play—finishing strong with a full day of outdoor adventure.

This is a camp where kids get dirty, try new things, build confidence, and come home with stories they won’t stop telling.

 

Spots are limited—join us for a week they’ll never forget.

 

Price includes 5 days of programming  9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday to Friday, including bus transportation to and from two days of camp: Hilton Falls Conservation Area and Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area.

The Guelph Grotto is situated on the territories of the HaudenosauneeAnishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭAttiwonderonk (Neutral)Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Mississauga. Guelph’s colonial borders also hold history of the Haldimand Treaty of 1784Treaty 3 of 1792, and Anishinaabe language. The Guelph Grotto profits and operates on land that we acknowledge and respect as Indigenous to what is currently Canada. We recognize the importance of listening and learning about colonization, both historically and how colonialism manifests today, so that we may take actions which contribute to healing relationships in Canada - between peoples, land, and communities.
