Summer Camps Overview

Appleby Summer Camps are organized into five major programs. We have an Early Discovery program customized with weekly themes for younger campers ages 4-7.  Older campers ages 7-13 will enjoy a wide variety of programs in Sports & Adventure, Arts & Media, Science & Success. Also check out our specially designed Leadership camps for participants ages 14-16.

Appleby Camps feature highly qualified instructors, low camper to instructor ratios, nutritious lunches, and swim time in our indoor pool. Our standard hours are from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. each day with drop-off and pick-up between 8:30 - 9:00 a.m. and 3:30 - 4:00 p.m. All camps run on our beautiful 60-acre lakeside campus in southwest Oakville (minutes from the Oakville Go) featuring outstanding facilities in academics, athletics, performance arts and dining.

We are excited to offer our Appleby Overnight program available in August!  In this special, add-on program, campers ages 7-13 will have the opportunity to spend 5 fun-filled nights away from home, all the while being 'not-so-far' from home!

Instructors are recently certified in First Aid and CPR-C, have passed a police check and participate in Appleby’s intensive pre-camp safety and skills training course. Camper to instructor ratios are low with a target of 5:1 in Early Discovery programs and 8:1 in all other programs. All instructors deliver engaging activities and programs and have experience caring for children in their specific camp program. Many are qualified teachers, coaches, recreational specialists or early childcare educators.

In all our programs we emphasize individual skills development, participation, co-operation and fun! Our mission is to promote discovery, inspiration and competition with friends in a safe, fun and inclusive environment. We take pride in making our camps a family experience with events, games and shows for the whole family.

Appleby Camps is a fully accredited* member of the Ontario Camps Association (OCA). The OCA has and continues to be recognized as a worldwide leader in organized camping for children and youth. Member camps must adhere to the highest standards of safety, supervision, and quality programming.  To learn more about the OCA click here.

We are partnering again this year with Loveable Labels to try and make sure every camper's clothing follows them home after a great week at camp. Please visit their site to place your order before the summer begins.
