The First Urban Adventure
Summer Camp!
City Scouts continues the tradition of summer camps teaching kids the lifelong skills of self-confidence, independence, environmental awareness, and leadership. What sets this camp apart is using the urban environment as our backdrop.
Registration for Summer 2026 camps opens Jan 5 @ 10am.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
"Fostering Independence through Urban Adventure"
Fostering Growth and Confidence
Fostering Growth and Confidence
We create an environment where kids feel supported while being encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. Our staff leads by example, demonstrating resilience, curiosity, and a love for exploration. Through exposure to new experiences, we nurture confidence, adaptability, and a growth mindset.
Building Independence
Building Independence
Independence is a mindset, and we empower kids to take control of their own experiences. Whether it’s managing their own money, navigating city streets, or following their passions, we create real-world opportunities that help them grow. By tackling challenges and making their own decisions, they develop confidence and situational awareness for the future.
Toronto is Our Urban Campground
Toronto is Our Urban Campground
Toronto is the ultimate setting for exploration and learning. Through public transit, diverse neighborhoods, and hidden gems, kids gain hands-on experience in navigating urban life. They become comfortable with the city’s realities, preparing them for future adventures and fostering a lifelong sense of curiosity and independence.
Adventure
Every Day
Adventure Every Day
We embrace spontaneity, creativity, and discovery. Our camp encourages kids to push the limits of public spaces, ask “why not?” and interact with the city in new ways. No two days are the same—each one is filled with excitement, challenges, and unexpected opportunities to see adventure everywhere.

Level Up the Summer Camp Experience!
As a parent, you are well aware that the day may come (or perhaps it already has) that your kid will ask to go out on their own and discover their city without you. City Scouts’ hope is that through exposing our campers to navigating city life they will feel safe and comfortable when they’re travelling without parents and have some fun ideas on places they want to explore.
How It Works
Discover a new neighbourhood every day.
Navigate the city
by TTC.
Taste unique
local foods.
Collect points and emerge victorious!
There are 3 ways to collect points!
Adventures are games that have you looking closely at the neighbourhood around you.
Discoveries are lessons about the history of the city and urban issues the city faces.
Bounties are challenges that can be done anywhere in the city like asking a city worker what their favorite park is.
