What to expect from our camp...

With an incredible staff, fantastic facility and a love for summer fun, Summer Camp at Veneto is the perfect choice for your summer child care needs.

Our Mission Statement

Summer Camp at Veneto is a multi-cultural day camp in a country setting, within the City of Vaughan. We instil respect for self, others, and the environment. Our creative programming enables campers and staff to develop life-long skills from shared experiences. We provide campers and staff with a healthy, active experience in a safe, nurturing environment. Ultimately, this positive social experience creates a sense of belonging while having fun and making memories for everyone!

A Typical Day

Our camp consists of structured play combined with opportunities for individual exploration and group activities, for children ages 5-13.

Crafty Corner

A unique opportunity for the art enthusiast. Your child will create unique crafts and special keepsakes! Our leaders will explore various artistics skills, ideas and techniques. This program is sure to please the artist in your child.

Drama Discovery

Campers will be introduced to fun filled drama through stories, puppets, games and music. These mini imagination workshops will provide a magical journey of self-discovery and adventures in creativity.

Sports Craze

Energetic staff guides campers through skill development in a variety of sports such as; soccer, basketball, floor hockey and bocce. Concepts such as teamwork & leadership are learned.

Dance Your Day Away!

Campers will develop their love of dance at camp this summer. Each child will begin to develop physical co-ordination, rhythm and musical appreciation while increasing body awareness and self esteem.

What facilities will be used?

The Veneto Centre offers a wide range of indoor & outdoor facilities that this Vaughan camp takes advantage of. These include a soccer field, covered pavillion, secured playground, clean bathrooms, and indoor rooms. With the summer, outdoor activities are first priority but due to inclement weather we are prepared to continue the camp indoors without sacrificing any fun. The surrounding natural environment is an integral part of the centre's atmosphere.


The Leadership Program

The transition from camper to leader begins with the Summer Camp at Veneto Leadership Program. We give our Leaders In Training (L.I.T) a sense of responsibility and the opportunity for hands on experience with campers, as well as placements in multiple activity areas. We don't forget that this is their last "camper" summer, therefore special programs and good times remain integral to the experience.

Limited Enrolment

This unique program is offered to a limited number of young people between the ages of 13 and 16.

Lectures, Discussions & Seminars

The L.I.T. Coordinator and Summer Camp at Veneto Senior Staff will organize discussions and seminars on various topics for leaders in training, which will enhance the practical, hands-on experience they receive.

Additional Aspects of the Program

The LIT's will be involved in a variety of additional activities which will include:

  • Program planning
  • Planning and organizing special events
  • Assisting in supervision
  • Applying personal talents in specific disciplines (art, dance, drama, sports)
  • Program created and implemented by OCT Certified Intermediate/Senior level teachers
