Our exciting program includes swimming, off-site trips to fun locations, and an assortment of interesting special guests. Our unique activities, qualified staff, low child-to-staff ratios, and convenient hours make the City of Welland summer day camp your number-one choice for summer fun.

Accessibility and inclusion for all

The recreation, sport, and culture division's programs are fully inclusive and welcome all children. If your child requires any extra support, please complete the personal information form and indicate this to a customer service clerk. If parents with children requiring additional support are already connected to Community Living Welland Pelham, they should contact their family support coordinator. The City does not provide one-to-one support. Campers may bring their own support worker at no additional cost, and they will be included as a camper.

Qualified leaders

Staff are mature and responsible individuals selected for their special abilities and experience working with children. All staff participate in intensive pre-camp training. Many are enrolled in university or college programs and have experience working in schools, recreation centres, or childcare centres. All staff are certified in First Aid, CPR, and High Five®.
