Inclusion and Integration:

BGC is committed to the inclusion of all campers. Please make us aware of any special requirements for medication, mobility, or behaviour, or of other resources your child may need to participate at the time of registration. The more informed we are, the better service we can provide.

Camp Activity Locations and Transportation

The day will always start and finish at our Camp locations, while some of the daily activities will take place at local parks and splash pads. Our programs take advantage of many outdoor spaces including local parks, splash pads, outdoor spaces within walking distance. For activities that take place farther away, campers will be using BGC Kawarthas vehicles, and chartered school buses.

Opportunity Changes Everything
