Everyone is welcome!

Our camps are open to all children in the community entering Grades 1 to Grade 12 in the fall of 2026.

The Southpointe Summer Programme is an excellent choice for children to explore their interests and discover new passions. Whether your child is entering Grade 1 or Grade 12, there will be a camp tailored to their age and skill level. Our camps allow students to explore interests and discover new passions through:

• Academics
• Arts
• STEM 
• Outdoor Education

We offer both half-day and full-day camp experience options. A custom full-day camp experience for your child can be created by combining a morning and an afternoon camp for the same week. Students looking to take a provincial for-credit class this summer can join Physics 11, where they will experience hands-on, real-world knowledge.

We look forward to seeing you join us this summer!

• Full Day Camps: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
• Morning Camps: 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
• Afternoon Camps: 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm

A supervised lunch break is provided for full-day campers, with time to eat, relax, and enjoy fresh air before afternoon programming. Campers who are registered for the full day may not leave the campus without being signed out by their legal guardian. 

Yes. Our 2026 Summer Programme offers Physics 11 as a for-credit course. Students will engage in inquiry-based learning through laboratory projects, developing skills in observation, data collection, analysis, and real-world problem-solving.

Our registration site makes signing up easy and provides all the information you need to make the most of your child's summer experience. Here you will be able to explore our various camps and learn more about our transportation and hot lunch services.

Each camp participant will receive a free Southpointe Summer Programme t-shirt!

We look forward to seeing you for a Southpointe Summer!
