Surprise! On August 20, the TDSB announced a delayed back-to-school date of September 15 to prepare for new health and safety measures.
This unexpected week of summer vacation means many parents are left scrambling for child care and activities for the four days after Labour Day.
Here are all the Toronto camps we’ve found so far that have managed to pull together an extra week of in-person summer camp for September 8–11. Book ’em while they’re hot!
