Royal Botanical Gardens’ Discovery Day Camps are about fun, education and respect set in one of the most biologically diverse natural areas in Canada. We provide hands-on, environmental-based programs that suit the ages, needs and interests of our participants. These award-winning programs feature new activities and adventures everyday through hikes, games, crafts, activities and daily explorations of ecologically significant nature sanctuaries

covering over 1,000 hectares of fields and forests. Our goal is to introduce your child to a lifetime of respect and appreciation for the natural world that sustains us all.
