Town of Orangeville camp staff training includes sessions on inclusive recreation. While our staff are passionate about helping every child participate to their full potential, they are not able to provide the same level of support as educational assistants, behavioural therapists, or other professionals in this field.

The cost varies by camp location and resident status. Residents can expect to pay between $40-$60 a day for camp. There is a 20% surcharge for non-residents. Prices are pro-rated to reflect only 4 days, where applicable.

Camp details including prices are available to view online at Orangeville RecConnect.

Subsidy may be available for families who qualify through the County of Dufferin. Applications will be received through the County and families will be contacted by a Town representative to complete their camp registration.
