Summer Camp Guide 2019
Now that March Break is over, parents have to immediately start thinking about what their kids will do this summer to stay busy and make those amazing summer memories. Truthfully, you should probably start before March Break if you want to get in specialized camps, but there are still lots of amazing options if you act now.
What's Your Collingwood/ Blue Mountain Vibe?
If you live in the area, are a weekender who wants to take advantage of the summer activities here, or you are looking for a fun get-away from the city, Collingwood and the surrounding areas have lots of summer camps to keep your kids busy while you work (like me), rest or play.
From mountain biking, nature discovery and tree-trekking to music and theatre and pretty much everything in between there is lots to choose from.
