With our staff’s deep understanding of how to provide children with a healthy, and supportive community, and children’s endless capacity for play and creation, we provide our campers with the care, activities and life skills which serve them for years to come. Research shows that the things which children need most are undervalued in today’s fast-paced high-tech times. These things include, freedom in play, creative expression, time outdoors, sensory rich experiences, dynamic movement, co-operation and collaboration in games, and respect for children’s individuality.

In our time at The Toronto Waldorf Summer Camp, we have been blessed to have had the opportunity to meet these ideals every summer, and our summer community has continually grown as more families understand what makes this camp unique.

We are excited to meet all the new campers in 2024 and their families, and be rejoined with familiar campers. If you are interested in hearing more about the summer camp, feel free to contact us.
