Summer Camp Themes

2022 NWCC Summer Day Camp

The North Woodside Community Centre is proud to offer a fun and affordable themed day camp program for children entering Grade 1 to 6 in September 2022. Each week a new camp theme is introduced, which includes a theme-related trip and various interactive and engaging activities. Every Thursday our camp goes swimming, on Fridays the camp goes bowling at Bowlarama Woodside, and we always end the week with a BBQ. Discovery Centre, Spryfield Wave Pool, Hop! Skip! Jump!, and Putting Edge are just some of the trips planned for this summer. Please keep in mind that trips will be booked closer to the summer, as many places cannot be booked until June. Therefore, trips are subject to change.

Registration opens Monday April 3rd, 2023 in person or over the phone.
*Note - There is a limit of 25 campers per camp this year.

Camps run daily 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. All pricing includes cost of trips, admissions and transportation. No hidden costs. We continue to provide a sunrise and sunset program between 8:00-9:00 am and 4:00-5:00 pm. The cost is $20.00 per week (per child). Those who do not require this service must drop off their child after 8:50 am and pick up by 4:00 pm.

Note: The camps are non-refundable after payments have been made. Payment must be made at the time of registration to confirm your child’s spot. We have an extended payment plan for those who are participating in more than three weeks of camp.
