Summer Day Camp
Pine’s Summer Day Camps in Toronto are all about getting kids outside, connecting with nature and having fun. Campers have the chance to explore city parks, play nature games, learn new wilderness and naturalist skills, and connect with their peers.
Looking for an option for teens? Check out our Teen Urban Summer Program for youth ages 12-14, and our Leaders in Training (LIT) program for teens ages 15-16.
Pine’s Summer Day Camp in 2025:
Campers will spend each day exploring habitats, finding nature treasures, and building their survival skills! Each day will be filled with nature connection activities like playing scavenger hunts, tracking animals, identifying wildflowers, or maybe even watching the resident red-tailed hawk hunt in the meadow. By the end of the week, campers will return home bursting with excitement about nature challenges, confident in their new skills and inspired to learn more about the natural world.
Summer day camp activities may include:
- Nature-based games and team challenges
- Working with hand tools and managing risk
- Identifying plants and animals
- Animal tracking and ecology
- Crafting with natural materials
- Storytelling and singing
Pine is an experience that should not be missed for all Toronto youth. The kindness of counselors along with their attention to getting to know each child individually is only equalled by the outdoor experience delivered.

This is a summer day camp in Toronto lasting one week with daily sessions. While we recommend 2 weeks, campers are welcome to join us for more!
Our camps register by age ranges (4-6, 7-9, 10-12), however, individual camp groups are created closer to the start of camp and allow for mixing between ages - as always, we will do our best to accommodate friend requests, but cannot make guarantees.
