From July 7 to August 15, 2025, York Region Educational Services hosted an unforgettable summer camp for children aged 5 to 12. Packed with exciting activities and endless opportunities for fun, our camp offered the perfect balance of play, learning, and friendship.

Campers stayed active through a variety of sports, including basketball, soccer, and dance, while also building teamwork through exciting challenges like the KEVA Bridge Competition and the Egg Drop Challenge. Each day, they engaged in hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities designed to spark curiosity and strengthen problem-solving skills. Weekly workshops led by local community organizations, such as firefighters and police officers, offered valuable real-world insights and experiences.

Throughout the summer, campers explored new interests, built lasting friendships, and created memories to last a lifetime. None of this would have been possible without our dedicated YRES staff and volunteers, who helped create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for all.

As the summer comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every camper who joined us for this incredible journey. We loved having you with us and can’t wait to see you again in 2026!
