Not at all! The Club has already made all the necessary upgrades and adjustments to our facilities to ensure that camp operates completely independently. During the summer of 2024, we successfully ran a full camp season without any disruption — and the same will be true this year. While we don’t anticipate the Tridel Development project to begin this summer, families can feel confident knowing it will have no impact on our day-to-day programming, activities, or camper experience. Our campers will continue to enjoy the same fun, safe, and unforgettable summer that Richmond Hill Country Club Day Camp is known for!
Yes. All children must be toilet-trained prior to the start of camp. We do understand that accidents do happen. Please send an extra pair of clothes.
Yes! We understand that summer plans can change, and we will do our best to accommodate changes whenever possible.
Sessions may be moved to different weeks within Summer 2027 at no additional cost, subject to space availability.
If you would like to extend your child’s enrolment (for example, from 2 weeks to 4 weeks), additional weeks are subject to availability and will be charged at the camp fees in effect at the time the change is made.
If you need to shorten your child’s enrolment (for example, from 6 weeks to 4 weeks), changes made before May 1, 2027 will result in your camp fees being recalculated based on the revised number of weeks, with any outstanding balance refunded.
After May 1, 2027, camp fees are non-refundable, including when reducing the number of weeks enrolled.
Absolutely! We know that being with a familiar friend can help campers feel comfortable and excited about coming to camp.
Campers are grouped primarily by birth year. For Pre-JK and JK campers, cabin groups are co-ed and are created based on registration numbers and grouping requests. Once campers have completed SK, groups are divided by gender.
We do everything possible to ensure that each camper receives at least one mutual friend request. Grouping requests can be submitted during the registration process or in writing to the Camp Office and must be received by May 1, 2027.
While we make every effort to accommodate requests, they cannot be guaranteed. Requests involving campers who are too far apart in age will not be accommodated, as keeping groups developmentally appropriate helps us provide the best possible programming and overall camp experience for everyone.
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
At camp, we strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive and grow as individuals. This is one of the goals of our camp. We serve youth with a variety of assets and abilities within our scope of service and invite campers that are ready to have fun, relax, learn in a supportive environment, try new things, and benefit from positive relationships with peers and adult role models in an outdoor setting.
Campers must be able to perform basic tasks independently: toilet, dress, and eat; navigate terrain, and respond appropriately to verbal and visual safety instructions.
We work hard with our families to curb unwanted behaviours. Occasionally, we find that a camper might be outside of our scope of service as they are unable to follow our camper code of conduct. Youth may not yet be able to meet the behavioral and social expectations of the camp environment if they have: regular 1-on-1 assistance by a specialist at home or school; receiving support for social-emotional needs or self-harm; violent outbursts or extreme emotional dysregulation including running from the group or hurting other campers by being physical; attended day treatment or residential programs; have not stabilized on new meds or new dosages of regular meds. If your child can be described by one or more of these statements, please call to discuss the best path forward.
Some children do require extra support to integrate into the camp program and group setting. Our philosophy at RHCCDC is geared towards inclusion and we very much want the child to experience the summer camp program.
We recognize that in order to get the most out of the summer camp experience and ensure their safety, it may be necessary for your child to have a one-to-one guardian to support throughout the camp day (provided independently by the parent) . If you think your child may require additional support at camp due to exceptionalities or group dynamics, please reach out to the Camp Director at the time of registration to discuss support.
Please note that the camp reserves the right to limit a child's attendance once the camp season begins should the child who requires a one-to-one guardian not have such support in place.
Absolutely! One of the great advantages of RHCC Day Camp is our access to world-class indoor, air-conditioned facilities right next door, allowing the fun to continue regardless of the weather.
On extremely hot days, we adjust our schedule to limit prolonged outdoor activity and provide campers with extended periods indoors in our air-conditioned facilities, including our indoor tennis courts and multi-purpose spaces. On rainy days, programming simply moves indoors with some minor adjustments.
And the best part? With our indoor swimming pool, campers can swim rain or shine!
While the weather may change our plans slightly, it doesn’t stop the camp experience. Our extensive indoor and outdoor facilities allow us to keep campers active, engaged and having fun throughout the summer.
Our regular camp sessions are offered in two-week increments. We believe that two weeks gives campers the opportunity to truly settle into camp, build strong friendships and experience the full range of programs and special activities that make RHCC Day Camp so special.
We also recognize that families’ summer plans are packed with fun! Campers who have already attended RHCC Day Camp during an earlier session may want to come back for a little more camp before summer ends. For this reason, we offer a limited number of one-week spaces during the month of August exclusively for campers who have already attended camp earlier that summer.
These one-week spaces are subject to availability and are intended as an opportunity for returning campers to extend their summer with us. New campers registering for the first time are required to enrol in a minimum two-week session.
We believe camp is about unplugging from the world and teaching children the value of play and direct communication. While we understand the need and dependency for electronics throughout the year and at school, we strongly believe their presence at camp is unnecessary and in fact takes away from the basic components of our camp philosophy. We want our campers to experience camp and most importantly engage with the entire RHCC Day Camp community, their friends and nature. Camp is one of the only places left in the world for children to do this. Our “Screen-Free” policy, we know campers will be more engaged and physically active than ever before.
We want to remind you that cell phone use of any kind is not allowed at camp under any circumstances. If the children are on their devices, the camper will be asked to put it away or have the device taken and stored in a safe location for the duration of the day. If your child is unable to disconnect from the device after warning, we may call you to pick your child up from camp. This is how strongly we feel that devices play no role at RHCC Day Camp!
We understand that allowing these items to be at camp is a temptation and by removing their presence at camp we know this will reduce the ‘urge’ to use electronics at RHCC Day Camp.
(RHCC Day Camp takes no responsibility for any electronic device that is broken or lost during the camp day should your child still bring a device to camp)
We do not have a special kosher or halal meat option unfortunately. However, our meat options are 100% beef and do not contain pork ingredients. We do have a vegetarian option for those campers that require it. Please be sure to reach out to our camp director at campdirector@richmondhillcountryclub.com for more information.
Yes, absolutely! If your child is registered for Extended Hours but you would like to pick them up at regular dismissal, we are happy to accommodate.
We simply ask that you call the Camp Office at least one hour in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements to have your child ready for regular dismissal.
If you are unable to provide advance notice, we will still do our best to accommodate your request; however, there may be a wait while we locate your child and safely coordinate their dismissal.
A little advance notice helps us make pickup as quick and seamless as possible!
For Summer 2027, our camp season begins after the Canada Day holiday, so there is no change to our schedule for Canada Day.
Camp is closed on the Civic Holiday in August. There is no camp on this day, and our regular camp schedule resumes the following day.
Campers do not need to be vaccinated against COVID 19 to attend camp. However, we encourage families to be vaccinated when eligible.
