To attend camp, your child must have attended at least one full year of French Immersion and be able to understand and express him/herself in French. See our FAQ’s for additional guidance.

At Camps Garnier and Marion a wide range of fun activities are organized around weekly themes. (Here is a typical week at camp.)
Every Tuesday, an outing or a guest is part of our itinerary. On Thursday, we spend the day at the outdoor swimming pool, such as Cedar Park in Bowmanville or Petticoat Creek in Pickering.
Camp Hours: 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. The fees for Before and After care listed below are applicable when the child arrives earlier than 8:55 am and/or leaves later than 4:30 pm.
