Kids' Camps

Green City Adventure Camp: Our GCA camp program offers 4–10 day camp sessions to explore and discover the green side of Toronto. With more nature than any other city of its size in the world, Toronto’s ravine trail system offers the perfect challenge for children. Our campers will uncover the wild beneath the city they know while getting a lot of exercise! Our program focuses on active, outdoor play to activate the body, engage the mind and foster our next generation of environmental stewards.

Friend Request Policy

Building a fun, friendly and accepting group of campers is a key goal for Evergreen’s Green City Adventure Camp, and we encourage all campers to build new friendships. To ensure this, we accept friend requests only if the campers are in the same age group (see our Age Policy), and we limit the requests to one per camper. Friend requests that are not in the same age group session will not be considered.

Age Policy

Age groupings are determined by each camper’s age on the first day of camp. We have found this very successful in creating safe and cohesive camp groups while maintaining alignment with industry standards. We understand this may be disappointing, but we hope campers will embrace the adventure of meeting new friends as a key part of the Green City Adventure Camp experience.
