Why Parents Choose The School for Camps: A Place Where Values and Safety Come First
As parents, we know the camp search can feel overwhelming. You want your child to have fun, make new friends, and discover new skills—but you also want to know they’re safe, cared for, and treated with respect, just like they are at home.
At The School, we believe camp should be more than a “place to go.” It should be a place that echoes your family’s values, honours each child as an individual, and feels like a true extension of home. Here’s why so many families trust The School with their kids’ camp experience—year after year
1. Staff You Can Trust—Extensively Trained, Warm, and Engaged
Every instructor at The School undergoes specialized training, not only in their discipline but also in child development and positive discipline strategies. All of our staff hold CPR-C and vulnerable sector screening—your child’s physical and emotional safety is never an afterthought. Each camp group is limited to just 14 children and supported by a certified teacher, a dedicated assistant, and at least one volunteer—plus our full-time front desk staff who are always on hand.
2. A Facility Designed for Kids to Move, Learn, and Thrive
Our bright, air-conditioned space is built for active kids, with professional sprung floors for safety and comfort. We meet (and exceed!) the highest standards for cleanliness and supervision, so you can focus on your day, knowing your child is in good hands.
3. Discipline That’s Rooted in Respect—Never Shame
We take your child’s social and emotional well-being seriously. Our approach is simple: no shaming, no corner-sitting, and no exclusion games—ever. Instead, we use strategies that support each child’s development, foster community, and celebrate the strengths and differences that make each camper unique.
4. Small Groups, Big Heart
With a maximum of 14 campers per group, every child is seen, heard, and valued. Our low ratios mean more individualized attention, more meaningful connections, and a camp experience where your child can truly shine.
5. A “Whole Child” Approach, Inspired by Parents Just Like You
The School was founded by two parents who also happen to be educators and artists—with backgrounds in dance, TV, film, and theatre. Our camps blend creativity with structure, fun with learning, and always, always put kids first. We treat every camper like family, and we’re deeply committed to upholding the values you’ve worked so hard to establish at home.
If you’re looking for a camp that honours your child as a whole person—not just a number in a crowd—The School is your place. We invite you to join our community, where children are inspired, respected, and encouraged to be their very best selves, every single day.
