Tell Me More About Camp Awakening In The City!

It’s been a tough year – and we want your family to come experience the magic of camp in and around the Greater Toronto Area.

We have partnered with the Disabled Sailing Association of Ontario (DSAO) and Abilities in Motion (AIM adaptive paddling) to host several day programs between August 9-20, 2021.

These FREE activities are our gift to you – our camper families – for sticking by us and supporting us through two difficult summers.

Spots for the in-person Camp Awakening In The City program are first-come, first-served. At this time, spots are only open to previous Camp Awakening campers and their families.

While we are hopeful that August will be sunny and warm, if we are unable to participate in an activity due to weather or Public Health restrictions, we may not be able to reschedule for an alternative date.
