Dovercourt Recreation Centre, also known in the summer as “Camp Central”, offers the city’s best variety of camps. Children can spend the whole summer at Dovercourt and not repeat the same camp. Our camps are jam-packed with fun activities including swimming, sports, crafts, special events and guests, trips and more. Activities are age appropriate and guided by amazing staff. Kids will get to know the staff, feel comfortable with the locations and routines. No need to send your child all around the city for variety. Let them spend the summer at “the 'Court”.

Your child can choose from our weekly Theme Camps, a full selection of Specialty Camps as well as our Extreme Camps, Girls Only Camps and Leader in Training program for older children and teenagers.

Registration details available on our online registration site


Theme Camps - Preschool & School Age
