WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER FOR CAMP?
At SMC, we know how expensive it can be to send your child to camp. We also know the amazing, life-changing experience that camp can be for kids. That’s why it’s our goal to offer camp to families within the GTA, despite the financial restraints that may exist for them.
We accept campers through an application process that is based on income. All the registration spots available are highly subsidized so, if upon registering for camp, you qualify for the subsidy, we will let you know. Then you will be able to complete your registration and pay your nominal fee.

SUMMER CAMP 2024
REGISTRATION WILL OPEN SOON!
TRANSPORTATION
Scott Mission Camp is located about one hour northwest of downtown Toronto in the beautiful town of Caledon, Ontario. When it comes to transportation to and from camp on the first and last days of camp, families have 2 options:
BUS PICKUP
For those located in the city, we have a bus pickup location in Toronto. Here, we do check in and then load the buses to head up to camp for the week!
DROP OFF AT CAMP
For those interested, parents/guardians can drop their kids directly at the camp located in Caledon at 3852 The Grange Sideroad. Check in at camp begins at 11:30 on Monday mornings.
HEALTH & SAFETY
We operate on a 4:1 child to counsellor ratio. There are eight children in each cabin with two counsellor leaders. Our counsellors are all at least 16 years old and most are in university, college, or high school. They are all interviewed and screened before working at camp. In addition to our counsellors, we employ a dynamic senior staff including a licensed nurse, a program team, and child management supervisors. We also have a team of certified lifeguards and high ropes instructors. Hospitals and health clinics are only a short drive time away.
To further ensure the safety of our campers and staff, all campers are required to agree to and follow our Camper Code of Conduct.
FOOD & DIET
At camp, we are committed to providing great meals for your children. We hire two cooks each summer, along with five kitchen assistants, who work hard to provide great meals to keep campers fuelled up with enough energy to get through the fun filled days! Each day we provide children with three full meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with a nice dessert included with lunch and dinner! We also provide an evening snack.
We are conscious of different dietary needs and restrictions and do our best to accommodate any requests made. Please make sure to include specific dietary needs and restrictions on your application. We are usually able to accommodate but if, for any reason, we are unable to, we will let you know.
PARENT’S FAQS
Can My Children All Be In The Same Cabin?
Due to the fact that cabins are made up of the same age groups together, it is not likely that siblings can be in the same cabin unless they are very close in age.
How Many Kids Come To Each Session?
At this time we will be opening space for 60 campers per week. We have room for 30 girls campers and 30 boys campers per session.
What Kind Of Staff Will Be Looking After My Child At Scott Mission Camp?
Our 4 year-round staff and 45 summer staff are serious about serving God and serious about providing an excellent camp experience for our guests. We have a 4:1 camper to counsellor ratio. Staff must be at least 16 years of age to be employed at SMC and all staff are screened before working at camp. We provide a dynamic senior staff which includes a nurse, lifeguards, a program team and child management supervisors. Our nurse, lifeguards, cooks and high ropes instructors are always qualified professionals and all staff undergo a rigorous training week before starting work.
Can My Child Come To Camp For Two Or More Sessions?
Unfortunately we can only allow your child to come to camp for one session. This way we are able to provide more space for all children who apply.
Can My Child And Her Friend Be In The Same Cabin?
We attempt to place children of the same age groups in cabins together. If you have a specific request for a cabin mate for your child be sure to note that on the camper application form. We will attempt to accommodate all placements when possible.
My Child Has Allergies And Other Health Problems. Do You Have A Camp Nurse?
Every summer we hire a qualified camp nurse for the safety of both staff and campers. If an emergency arises we have short drive times to health clinics and hospitals.
Do You Offer Camp Programs For Children With Special Needs?
We are unable to offer programs for children with special needs. Please contact the Ontario Camping Association for a list of camps that offer special needs programs. OCA – 416 485 0425
How Long Is A Session?
A session starts on a Monday morning and ends on Saturday morning. That makes a total of 6 days (5 nights) at camp.
Can I Visit My Child At Camp During Their Session?
Unfortunately we do not allow parents to visit while camp is running. This helps kids to adjust to camp and reduces the potential for homesickness for your child and the other children at camp.
What Time Do I Need To Drop Off And Pick Up My Child?
Toronto drop off: 11:00 am Monday morning. Toronto pick up: 11:30 am on Saturday.
Camp drop off: 12:15-12:30 Monday morning. Camp pick up: 10:15-11:00 am on Saturday.
Can I Call My Child While They Are At Camp?
Unfortunately we do not allow parents to call and speak directly with their child as this may cause unnecessary homesickness. We would be glad to pass along any messages and let you know how your child is doing. Of course, if there is an emergency, we will surely allow you to speak with your child.
Where Will My Child Sleep At Camp?
The Scott Mission Camp has cabins which hold up to nine campers of the same gender and similar age and two counsellors.
