CampTO registration is now open

Registration for CampTO summer programs in Toronto is officially open.

According to the city, this year there are about 30 types of camp programs at more than 140 locations in Toronto.

Registration opened at 7 a.m. Wednesday, and the city says the fastest and easiest way to register is online. Information on in-person and phone registration can be found here.

“The city's CampTO program is a great way for children and youth to explore new interests, learn new things, express themselves creatively and, most importantly, have fun in a safe environment,” Mayor Olivia Chow said in a press release issued Tuesday. “I would like to thank the city staff for helping to make this a fun and memorable summer for so many young campers.”

CampTOs must be between the ages of four and 16 to participate in CampTO, which runs from the beginning of July to the end of August.

There are three types of camp programs offered, including the standard CampTO where kids can participate in workshops or field trips, CampTO Explore, and CampTO Plus, which offers campers the opportunity to develop or refine their skills in specialized areas of interest. .

Counselor-in-Training programs are also available for campers ages 13 to 16 who want to learn to become camp counselors.

The city said it is still hiring for CampTO positions, including camp counselors, lifeguards and swimming pool attendants. Applications can be made online.
