Get Your Festival on

Eco-Odyssée Outdoor Park in Wakefield
Eco-Odyssee’s main feature is a complex maze of paddle boat trails made for exploring. Paddle through to learn about the area’s plants and animals, and for a gentler option, we love their Wanderer adventure—a two-hour gentle float around the park. Older kids will love the Discoverer or Observer paths, which provide a more advanced navigation challenge, as well as some Amazing Race style clues to decode and solve.

We know that planning for 10 weeks of summer isn’t easy, especially while juggling changing vacation schedules and visits with out-of-towners. So don’t panic if you have a week (or a few) without camp coverage—there is still time and space at some fantastic day camps in and around Toronto. We’ve rounded up the best of the bunch to make the experience worry-free for kids and parents.
