Camp Riverwood: Nature-Based Day Camps in Mississauga

Day camps that are fun and educational? You bet!

Camp Riverwood's experienced environmental educators aim to inspire a love of nature and exploration within your child. Camp activities take place around Riverwood's forests, wetlands, and river valleys, as well as indoors at Chappell House. Campers’ well-being is supported by a 6:1 camper to staff ratio that allows kids to go at their own pace. Camps are open to children who have completed Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Here at Riverwood, they'll adventure with other like-minded youth to make friends and deepen their connection to the local environment and the wider world of nature.

Our Camp Philosophy

Camp Riverwood’s approach encourages growth in children’s well-being, confidence, creativity and love of nature. We are intentional about building a fun, inclusive and supportive camp community. Offering a balance between planned activities and camper choices, we aim to give campers agency in their camp experience while creating ways to connect to each other and the environment.

"It is so wonderful to have this camp right here in Mississauga. It’s convenient, close, and has such a good feel. I love that it’s on the smaller size and my child doesn’t seem like just a number. I’m so glad this camp exists to help kids connect to nature right in our city." – Parent of a Camper
