Your child will enjoy active games, crafts, music and drama, and sensory and outdoor play in our enclosed, accessible playground with their unique abilities in mind. Your child will develop physical literacy skills, engage in facilitated social interaction and learn new skills to support everyday activities.
Campers must be able to manage in a group environment of one staff for every three campers, participate in active and tabletop activities for a minimum of five minutes before requiring a break and have a method to communicate needs and wants. Your child must not engage in harmful behaviour to self or others. For your child’s safety, they must not be a flight risk and must respect a closed door.* All campers must pass the daily Health Screen and wear a Grandview Kids-issued surgical mask during indoor activities.**
A full refund will be issued if Grandview Children’s Centre cancels a program before the program start date. Refunds will also be issued if the client/caregiver’s cancellation request is received 14 days before the start of the program, subject to a $25 deduction per transaction (administration processing fee). Cancellation requests received with less than 14 days prior notice to the start of the program/once the program has begun will be subject to a $15 per day cancellation fee. Days attended will not be refunded.
*If your child does not meet the outlined criteria, they may require one-on-one support at an additional cost to ensure a successful experience. Please note that one-on-one spots are limited. Grandview Kids staff will determine the need for one-on-one support as part of the intake process and will be communicated with families.

Registration is only open to residents of Clarington until March 19, 2023. Non-residents of Clarington (with a physical, developmental or communication challenge) may register beginning on March 20, 2023.
Grandview Kids sincerely thanks Ontario Power Generation (OPG) for sponsoring the Junior Firefighter Camp. Due to the generosity of OPG, we can offer this camp at no cost.
Learn what it takes to become a firefighter!
Clarington Emergency and Fire Services and the Community Services Department are excited to work with Grandview Kids to bring you a new and innovative Junior Firefighter (JFF) Camp. The camp is based on fire and personal safety, fire cause and prevention basics, firefighting equipment, and the importance of teamwork through exciting games and fun activities. In addition to fire-specific programming, campers will also participate in traditional day camp programming such as games, activities and crafts. This unforgettable week at camp will conclude with a Junior Firefighter Graduation Ceremony.
To participate in the Junior Firefighter Camp, your child must not engage in harmful behaviour to self or others. For your child’s safety, they must not be a flight risk and must respect a closed door. All campers must pass the daily Health Screen and wear a Grandview Kids-issued mask during indoor activities.*
*As some children and youth require an exemption to the mask requirements, please note that your child may interact with other campers not wearing a mask. We rely on families to complete the daily health screening and our enhanced safety measures to reduce the risk of any COVID-19 exposures or transmission.
