Is your camper 'group ready'?

To support the success, safety and inclusion of all, it is important that all campers are ‘group ready’.

Town of Milton camps are fast-paced with a variety of activities and settings such as gyms, arenas and playgrounds. Integrate camps typically have a 10 to 1 camper to staff ratio (8:1 for Kindercamps). Camps have groups ranging between 20-60 campers.

Before registering for camps, consider if your child is able to do the following either independently or with extra support:

  • Follows directions and instructions from a staff person
  • Comfortable and able to interact in a large group environment with 20-30 participants
  • Participation in programs is based on individual needs; however, participants should have the ability to participate in the daily activities of the camp program which includes group games, outdoor play, crafts, snacks and lunch times
  • Able to interact and participate in the program in a way that is safe for themselves and others

If your child requires extra support in a group setting, see our Inclusion page to view options.

Behaviour management

Every participant, together with staff, volunteers, and parents/guardians, contribute to the success of the programs and services offered by the Town. In order to provide quality programs and services, please be sure to read through the Participant Code of Behaviour in advance of registering for camp programs.
