Yes, we offer a Meal Plan catered by HEALTHY NOW (to be confirmed) who specializes in providing delicious healthy meals for elite athletes such as the Raptors905 and Toronto6!  Healthy Now provides meals Monday through Thursday, and Pizza Pizza on Fridays.

Yes, we do! Before care (8am – 9am) and After Care (4pm – 5pm) are very popular with our working parents. You can purchase just before care, just after care, or before and after care. 

We do not offer busing at this time.

We do have a program in place for parents looking to register, but who are currently experiencing financial hardship. Please see the Rouge Gives page for more information. We take Kids in Camp subsidies as well.

We do not offer swimming, but do have water play (sprinklers or splash pads) once or twice a week.

Some camp locations will go on a walking off-site field trip to a local splash pad using local side streets for walking. There may also be off-site trips to other locations for tournaments. Other sites may offer camp enhancements at an additional cost, but these are typically onsite.

We offer sibling discounts of $50 off per sibling, but not multi-week discounts. Returning families have access to our fall loyalty sale for the best savings of the year if you sign up for our monthly newsletters.

When a registered family refers a new family to camp and names you as the family who referred them, we credit you $50 for each new camper!

2026 Referral Program Details:

1. Referring family must be registered at Rouge Camps in 2026
2. Referred family must never have registered at Rouge Camps in 2026 or any year prior, and name the referring family in their registration or use the referring family's Personal Family Code (just ask info@rougecamps.com for one so you can give your friends $50 off per camper as well!).
3. Credit payouts of $50/new camper will be applied to referring family accounts once in May and then once in August for any referrals after the first May payout.

You can expect to receive the Holiday Card in early December.

You’ll select a program based on clearly defined age ranges. Whenever possible, we group campers within narrow age bands to ensure the best possible experience.

Campers are placed in the following Cabin Groups:

• Little Moves (4–5): Rabbits (4-5)
• Big Movers (6–7): Deers (6-7)
• Bike Camp (4-6): Rabbits (4-5) or Deers (6-7)
• Sports Camp (8–13): Foxes (8–10) and Bears (11–13)
• Specialty Camps (8–13): Combined Foxes/Bears groups or separate Fox (8–10) and Bear (11–13) groups, with campers attending specialty electives.

Cancellations made on or before April 30 will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made on or before June 30 will receive a 50% refund. Cancellations made on or after July 1 will receive a 25% refund, and cancellations after the first day of camp are non-refundable.

Cancellations due to extenuating circumstances may be issued a credit for use later in the summer or during Summer 2026. Extenuating circumstances are assessed on a case-by-case basis (e.g., severe illness or broken bones are typically approved; common colds are not).

A $25 administrative fee per camper applies to all cancellations.

Changes can be made without penalty up until April 30th based on availability. After April 30, changes will be made based on availability, and a fee of $25 will be charged.

We have a zero-tolerance for bullying policy. We work with our parents to keep our campers at camp, but if it is deemed that one camper’s actions are causing another camper to have a negative experience at camp, the offending camper will not be allowed to return to camp, and no refund will be provided.

In most cases, offending campers will be permitted to return to camp the following summer, since we believe that everything is a learning experience for young children, and it is the behaviour that is negatively impacting another camper's experience that we are addressing.  We believe that all campers are inherently good, but at times, inappropriate behavior needs to be addressed to keep camp fun for everyone!

We are a nut-free camp. We require all campers who have a nut allergy to carry an epipen, and each location has extra epipens on site. Any other allergies should be disclosed on our medical form.

At each of our camp locations we have access to gyms and classrooms. If there is severe weather, our programs move indoors where the activities do not stop! During periods of extreme heat, air quality advisories, or thunderstorms, outdoor activities will be modified, relocated indoors, or paused as needed to ensure camper safety. During an extreme heat warning, campers will not go outside when the temperature rises above 34 °C.

Campers should arrive each day with athletic clothes, athletic shoes, sunscreen, a water bottle, and a snack (lunch as well if not participating in the Meal Plan).

Each camp is overseen by a total of 2+ trained professional teachers, giving you peace of mind over other day camps. All of our programming is reviewed against a Safety Matrix, and all of our staff are hand-picked for their competence and attend a week-long staff training conference before the first day of camp.

All of our campers sign a media release waiver prior to the first day of camp. This allows us to show prospective parents/guardians the unforgettable fun times that our campers have during their time at camp!

We are a SunSafe camp, meeting all of the Melanoma Network of Canada’s requirements. Our program is designed for our campers to not be outside for more than 2 consecutive hours, take regular water breaks, and build in time to apply sunscreen before going outside.

All of your information provided during registration is held online by a third-party company and is securely encrypted.  We will not share information that you provide us with any other third parties that we are not legally obligated to.

All of our campers sign a media release waiver prior to the first day of camp. This allows us to show prospective parents/guardians the unforgettable fun times that our campers have during their time at camp!

We charge $1 per minute late on repeat occurrences or first occurrences over 10 minutes.

We are not responsible for lost or stolen items. However, we do have a Lost and Found that you should ask about if your camper has misplaced an item! We donate our lost and found items at the end of each summer. We ask that your campers do not bring any valuables to camp.
