Weekly Shows to Spark Imagination

Discover, Explore, and Grow as a Whitby Wildcat

At Camp Whitby Wildcats, summer is more than just a camp—it’s a thrilling adventure where creativity, curiosity, and fun come together every day! With our trained staff and expert instructors, including many familiar faces from Whitby’s after-school programs, we’ve designed each week to be a new journey filled with engaging, age-appropriate activities that keep campers excited and inspired.

We go beyond the ordinary to spark joy and wonder. From STEM challenges and arts and crafts to sports, music, and dance, our diverse range of activities ensures that there’s something for every interest. Plus, surprise activities, themed dress-up days, and incredible live shows by professional entertainers make each week extra special.

Our beautiful 32-acre campus is the ultimate summer playground, featuring two amazing playgrounds, expansive playing fields, tennis courts, and an Audubon-certified Schoolyard Habitat. Campers can dig into nature in our community garden classroom or challenge themselves indoors in the Athletic Center, which boasts a climbing wall. There’s also plenty of room for creativity in our Performing Arts Center, art studio, yoga room, and Makerspace.

Come join us for a summer filled with laughter, discovery, and non-stop fun—because at Camp Whitby Wildcats, the adventure never ends!
