Sessions may be moved within Summer 2022 at no extra cost as long as there is space       availability. Extending your child(ren)’s number of weeks at camp (example: extending from 2 to 4 weeks) will be subject to availability and the fees that are in effect at the time of the change. Shortening your child(ren)’s enrolment dates (example: shortening your weeks from 6 to 4 weeks) prior to May 1, 2022 will result in your camp fees being adjusted for the enrolled weeks and a refund will be available for the  outstanding balance. After May 1, 2022 no refunds are permitted.

We make every effort to ensure that each child receives at least one mutual friend request. You are able to indicate such requests on your registration form or you can email the camp at j.wolkoff@richmondhillcountryclub.com. Please note that our cabin groups are designed based on similar ages. Requests that are too wide in age range will not be accommodated as it impacts the quality of the experience and programs for all campers

The Richmond Hill Country Club Day Camp is conveniently located just north of Highway 407 on Bathurst Street, making it the ideal location for driving, carpooling, biking or walking to. Our convenient location means your child will not need to spend long periods of time on the bus traveling to and from camp. Connecting with families each morning and afternoon are integral to our camp's fundamental goals.  We offer extended hours from 7:45 am to 5:45 pm

Campers can be dropped off between 8:45 and 9:10 am and picked up from 3:50 - 4:10 pm. We also offer extended hours (included in our fees) from 7:45 am to 5:45 pm

Yes!  Our campers enjoy a healthy, nutritious, kid-friendly meal daily, prepared by our catering department at the Richmond Hill Country Club.  Campers also receive snacks daily - please see our website under Lunch and Snacks

We are able to accommodate most dietary restrictions. We do offer vegetarian meals and gluten free       meals. Please reach out to the camp director for more information at j.wolkoff@richmondhillcountryclub.com

Yes!  We are very fortunate to boast a world class indoor facility right next door. While we still have some outdoor activities on hot days, we do have large periods of time where campers are brought indoors to our air-conditioned facilities, including our tennis courts and multi-purpose rooms. Unlike other camps, our programs go on without a hitch, with some minor adjustments.  We are also fortunate to have an indoor pool and we swim rain or shine!

Our sessions are in two-week increments.  Having campers remain for a two-week period ensures that they are able to get the most out of their camp experience. This allows for campers to       establish strong friendships over a two-week period and experience all of the great programs in a two-week period.

We were informed on January 11, 2022 that Red Cross will no longer be offering a Red Cross swim program. The Lifesaving Society is a respected, accomplished organization that has established a program to develop water safety skills and promote the love of swimming. Our badges might be different but our commitment to a high quality swim program will be as strong as ever!

Campers do not need to be vaccinated against COVID 19 to attend camp. However, we encourage families to be vaccinated when eligible. 

Like the last two summers, we will follow the mask mandates set forth by the government. As of March 21, masks will not be mandatory. If the government changes this policy, we will update our policy accordingly.
