Camp Field Trips Overview

A successful field trip provides a fun and engaging experience for campers while prioritizing their safety and well-being. Here’s a list of safety measures that we take on field trip days:

• We hire a professional bus company and drivers.
• Campers wear camp t-shirts with our camp’s name and phone number.
• We have staff placed strategically at bus drop-offs, attraction sites’ entrances, and other locations.
• We have campers stay together in groups the whole time of the tour.
• We work closely with the attraction sites, and they support us greatly during our group visits.
• We are always counting campers! Our staff is trained specifically on trip safety procedures.

The drop off and pick up location is at the entrance of Wilshire Elementary School at 265 Beverley Glen Blvd., Thornhill, Ontario L4J 7S8
