Let Albion Hills’ inspiring 1200 acre conservation park become their backyard as they make new friends, connect with nature, grow and learn.
Albion Hills Field Centre has been delivering overnight education and recreation programs for 55 years, teaching children from the GTA about nature, adventure, leadership and teamwork.
In 2019, Albion is drawing on decades of programming excellence and outdoor education experience to launch our own overnight summer camp. Every day all year round, we meet children who are sleeping away from home for the first time or trying a new outdoor activity and taking the first steps towards transforming into the person they will become.
We take our responsibility as guides on this journey seriously — which is why all our staff are trained in child development and experienced in making the outdoors a safe and welcoming space.
Albion Hills’ small-scale adventure camps allows for individual attention from our experienced camp counsellors and outdoor education specialists. Comfortable and clean indoor accommodations, delicious, healthy, kid-friendly food and lots of time on the trails, in the meadows and by the stream will help your child build confidence and independence, and create lifelong memories.
