2025 NWCC Summer Day Camp
Summer Camp is Full for all 7 weeks.
Dear Parents and Campers,
We are truly overwhelmed and grateful for the incredible response to registration for our summer camp program this morning. All 7 weeks are now fully booked, and we want to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who registered.
With both our in-person and phone lines fully staffed, we made every effort to accommodate as many families as possible. However, due to our staff-to-child ratio and the nature of our busy camp—complete with multiple weekly trips—we must limit the number of participants to ensure the quality experience we’ve worked hard to maintain year after year.
While we would love to accommodate more campers, the capacity simply isn’t feasible at this time. We are always looking for ways to improve our registration process and appreciate your continued understanding.
Thank you once again for your support and for being a part of our camp community. We look forward to an amazing summer with those who were able to secure a spot.
Warm regards,
North Woodside Community Centre
