A Typical Week at City Scouts
Monday-WednesdayCity Exploration & Independence Building
The first three days each week will be dedicated to exploring Toronto and competing against other groups.
Each day has a location in the morning, a tasting, and a location in the afternoon. Challenges are done throughout the day and are built to boost kids' exposure to the city and their confidence in exploring while being aware of their surroundings. Once groups have gotten the hang of it, we do “Amnesia Day” (counselors "forget" directions) Campers are in charge of navigating their group between destinations.
ThursdayUrbania
Urbania is the culmination of the competition portion of the week. Group themes, bigger challenges and more points!
Morning: Team Intro Parade, morning challenge. Intro parade is when we like to bring the energy! In the afternoon we have everyone partake in ‘Big Game Time’ - This is when we want campers using their skills from the week! After this we head back to camp HQ and tally up each groups scores from the week and have our “Urbania closing ceremony”
FridayIsland Day
The whole camp is together on Friday. We go to Ward’s island for an afternoon on the beach!
While at Ward’s island we explore the residential area, play field games, eat lunch and then head to the beach for swimming. After this, our counselors will take a little time with their group to reflect on the week. Then, back to camp HQ before heading home.

Level Up the Camp Experience!
Raising independent kids starts with giving them the right experiences. At City Scouts, we help young explorers gain confidence in navigating the city safely, so when the time comes for them to venture out on their own, they’re prepared—and excited—for the journey ahead.
