Achievers Summer Learning Camp helps kids grow through play — culture, creativity, financial literacy and leadership, guided by HIGH FIVE® trained staff.
Our program follows Canada's quality standard for children's recreation — built on five principles: a caring adult, friends, play, mastery and participation.
ABOUT THE CAMP
Learning that feels like play
Run by the Ontario Learning Development Foundation, Achievers is a place where children build real-world skills through games, projects and friendships — all in a safe, inclusive space.
Inclusion
Every child belongs here. Programming is adapted so all campers can join every activity.
Creativity
Art, music, drama and maker projects give every child a way to express themselves.
Financial literacy
Finance Week teaches saving, budgeting and smart choices through camp "stores" and games.
Culture
Culture Week celebrates the foods, music and traditions of every family in our community.
Leadership
Campers take turns leading teams, presenting projects and mentoring younger friends.
Learning through fun
Hands-on activities turn reading, math and problem-solving into games kids actually look forward to.
The HIGH FIVE® philosophy
Our program follows Canada's quality standard for children's recreation — built on five principles: a caring adult, friends, play, mastery and participation.

SAFETY FIRST
Trained, screened and ready
Parents trust us with what matters most. Here’s how we earn it, every single day.
Photo-ID pick-up and signed independent-dismissal keep every departure secure.
Staff training and supervision continue every week, all summer long.
We coach with encouragement — building confidence, not just enforcing rules.
Activities are adapted so every child can take part safely and fully, whatever their needs.
All team members pass vulnerable-sector checks and full reference screening before hire.
Certified first-aid and CPR responders are on site at all times throughout the day.
Every staff member completes Principles of Healthy Child Development training before camp begins.
Our programming meets HIGH FIVE® — Canada's quality standard for children's sport and recreation.
PARENT RESOURCES
Everything in one place
Handbooks, policies and forms — most open as quick Google Forms, no downloads needed.
Tell us everything during registration. We keep allergy-aware seating at lunch, staff carry allergy lists for their groups, and our site is nut-aware. Staff are trained to use epinephrine auto-injectors.
Let us know as soon as you can. Late pick-ups are supervised by staff; repeated late pick-ups may incur a small fee.
