Cow Island Day Camp
Summer 2026 Registration is Open!
June 29th to Aug 7th, 2026
Mondays to Fridays from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm
Our goal: To create community and build strong friendships across our big lake, rooted in our shared love of nature.
Why Camp?
For the comfort and pleasure of knowing your child is developing social skills, learning to make new friends, and interacting with diverse group of children.
The sheer happiness that your child is completely separated from screen time.
Curriculum developed by an educator – your child will participate in carefully crafted activities intended to foster learning and curiosity. This includes highly relevant topics related to our lake environment and lake safety.
On our island, your child will truly connect with nature through lead activities and in free play.
Summer camp is renowned for helping children foster self-confidence and build resilience.
You get 3.5 hours of bliss and freedom (we are all parents & grandparents, we get it).
We work around your schedule. Sign up for a week, or multiple weeks.
“Camp offers a crash course on meeting new people, helping children build social skills, explore their independence and improve their self esteem.”
— Stephen Fine, Research Chair for the Ontario Camps Association
