Camp Acorn:
Where growth
takes root.
At Camp Acorn, we’re building more than summer memories. We’re building confidence. We’re building connection. We’re creating a place where kids feel like they belong.
Designed for children ages 6 to 12, Camp Acorn is an inclusive summer day camp where every experience is rooted in helping kids grow, socially, emotionally, and personally.
Because when kids feel supported,
everything else takes root.
Camps starting from $245/week
Weekly camps running July through early September.
We offer competitive pricing for families and subsidized care, to help make experiences accessible for everyone. By offering these options, we aim to encourage families to join the Camp Acorn community and create memories that will last a lifetime.
What’s included:
• A Camp Acorn T-Shirt for field trips
• A new field trip every Thursday
• Swim or water activity days every Friday

What Families
Are Saying
First off I want to commend all the counsellors and leads on a well run and amazing camp. Our daughter has really loved it, and this camp stands out. We are very grateful to the generosity of the large donation as it was super kind, and we will be making a donation as well to this fabulous camp.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for making this experience fun, positive and memorable for my 3 kids. They have a hard time adapting to new environments and new things and the team at Camp Acorn has really done a phenomenal job in giving them the confidence and support to try something new. So thank you to the whole team, especially all the counsellors for making them feel so welcome and accepted.
You have an amazing team there and I hope we will get to experience the camp again next summer! Thank you all so much! As a mom, it’s such a relief to know your kids are having fun and being taken care of in the summer. I appreciate the camp more than you know.
Firstly, I want to say: ‘THANK YOU” Lucas is enjoying Camp Acorn so much that he can’t wait to wake up in the morning, get ready and go meet the entire wonderful staff you have there. They are truly amazing!!
I have noticed a few things that are so positive in Lucas’ approach on things and it is such a great feeling knowing that he is getting his support there and having loads of fun on top of that.
So Thank you so much.. Your staff/team leaders are amazing. I am so grateful Lucas is loving it so much. I wanted to find out if I can enroll him again next summer for the entire summer. I know he will benefit from it and it will be such a positive outcome for him. I want to be the first in line for next year!!
