We are located approximately 90 minutes from Toronto International Airport. We offer a collection and a drop-off for campers from the airport. There is an additional charge of $300 for drop-off at the end of the camp. Please ensure to include this requirement and the travel details as part of your application process.

For our 0vernight campers, we strongly encourage parents to attend the final camp fire on the final Friday evening prior to campers leaving either Friday evening or Saturday morning. For those families wanting to stay overnight, we highly recommend a quick google search of the immediate area in order to find a suitable hotel or guesthouse that meets respective budgets and requirements.

If you are attending the day camp, you should look to arrive between 0800-0830hrs. You will have time for breakfast and be able to attend the meeting discussing the day’s activities. Your day will finish after dinner at 1830hrs.

For those attending the residential camp, we ask that you arrive no earlier than 1600hrs on your arrival day (Sunday) and that you make travel plans to be collected no later than 1000hrs on the departure day (Saturday). The dates of the camps can be found on the home page.

Niagara Adventure Camp has several programs and each program is priced based on our staffing and activity costs. Our two-week program costs $2000.00. Our one-week program costs $1000. Our Standard One-Day program costs $60.00 and our Excursion days cost $85.00.

We will be happy to refund you up until 10 days before your camp session starts, for any reason. We can either give you tuition credit for next summer or a cash refund. In order to provide the best experience possible, our attendance numbers are kept small. Because of this, if you are cancelling between 10-1 days of the planned start date, you will only be refunded 50% of your fees as it is highly unlikely that within this timeframe we will be able to fill this vacancy.

Yes. That will be an option when you register along with other payment options.

We can easily make switches between weeks as long as the week you are switching to is not full. Please email us if you have any questions or wish to change your booking.

We have a registered nurse on call. In addition, all our staff are trained in 1st Aid and in the safe and responsible administration of prescription medication. All medicine must be in the original prescription containers, with instructions. These will be handed to staff by parents during the arrival process. Please don’t hesitate to call if you have more questions.

All of our staff hold a valid first aid certificate. In addition, we have on-site nursing support to provide care and attention to those campers requiring more assistance. In the event of a camper becoming too ill to continue a camp, the camper will return home and, will receive pro-rated credit for a future camp.

At NAC our focus is getting children outdoors, so we do not encourage cellphone use. Our cellphone policy states that phones are only to be used during our break hours to contact family or friends back home, or to take pictures of activities throughout the day. If a camper is using their phone outside of this time, and it takes away from the campers’ experience, their phones will be confiscated and placed in our phone box until the allocated phone usage time.

We would kindly request that you refrain from sending mail or care packages to campers. We do provide campers with the opportunity to call home at certain points in the day. If your child does not have a cell phone or electronic device, there are phones in the camp houses they may use to contact you.

Please bring a copy of your childs immunization record to the camp or send it before hand to our camp director. Be sure that you have read and agreed to the medical health form terms sent to you via email after registering your child.

Yes! This summer, Niagara Adventure camp is opening it’s doors to both boys and girls!

We offer 24-hour supervision with generous staff to camper ratios. Our staff are highly trained professionals that work year-round at Robert Land Academy. We know kids, and we know how to keep them comfortable and safe!

Yes you can. Please use the online form to select your chosen dates.

Yes! This is one of the reasons we decided to go co-ed. It makes it so much easier, and less worrisome for families to be able to send siblings to camp together!

We will always try to accommodate the requests of our campers, and would ask that you speak to us in advance if you have any specific requirements.

No, however, the camp will follow all guidelines from public health and ensure all protocols are being followed to maximize health and safety. If your child would feel more comfortable wearing a mask, they are more than welcome to do so. 

Yes. Those campers on our residential camps may use our laundry service free of charge. We ask all residential campers to have a clearly labelled laundry bag. Time in the program will be made available for laundry. We do not accept any responsibility for any damage, or loss of personal effects, if campers are making use of our laundry facilities. We do ask that parents do not pack any clothing items of high value.

Well, we get wet. Light showers or a small amount of rain, will not stop us from undertaking our activities. The health and safety of our campers is always our primary concern. In the event of more severe weather, we will make use of our large gymnasium and numerous classrooms in order to ensure our campers have a full and enjoyable day.

Camp staff plan all activities in advance. To that end, we encourage all our campers to get fully involved in the activities that are provided each day. For those campers staying longer, there may be the opportunity to focus more on a particular activity. These options will be discussed during the morning briefings. That being said, you can choose between a standard and excursion day camp option which does offer some choice in activity!

The standard hours are 0800-1830 each day. Please add extra comments in the sign up form if you need greater flexibility with the day camp timings. 

This is natural. We are aware that not every child is ready to take the jump to an overnight camp. If this is your child, and overnight camp is too much, we can always arrange something more accommodating for him/her utilizing our day programs!
