Achievers Summer Learning Camp helps kids grow through play — culture, creativity, financial literacy and leadership, guided by HIGH FIVE® trained staff.
Achievers Summer Learning Camp is proud to be a HIGH FIVE® Accredited organization, demonstrating our commitment to Canada's nationally recognized standard for quality children's recreation. Through caring leaders, positive friendships, active play, skill development, and meaningful participation, we create safe, inclusive, and engaging experiences that help children build confidence, discover new interests, and create lasting memories.
Run by the Ontario Learning Development Foundation, Achievers is a place where children build real-world skills through games, projects and friendships all in a safe, inclusive space.
Every child belongs here. Programming is adapted so all campers can join every activity.
Art, music, drama and maker projects give every child a way to express themselves.
Finance Week teaches saving, budgeting and smart choices through camp "stores" and games.
Culture Week celebrates the foods, music and traditions of every family in our community.
Campers take turns leading teams, presenting projects and mentoring younger friends.
Hands-on activities turn reading, math and problem-solving into games kids actually look forward to.
Our accredited programs are designed to support the healthy development of every child while providing families with the confidence that their children are participating in a program committed to excellence.

No. Achievers Summer Camp is a group-based recreational and educational program. We do not provide one-on-one supervision, educational assistants, behavioural therapists, or personal support workers.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment and encourage families to discuss any medical, behavioural, developmental, accessibility, sensory, emotional, or learning needs with us before camp begins.
Accommodations are considered on an individual basis and are subject to our ability to safely and reasonably meet a child’s needs within the group setting.
Children who require continuous one-on-one supervision or specialized support services may need to attend camp with an approved external support person or may require alternative arrangements if we are unable to safely accommodate their needs.
Accommodations are considered on an individual basis and are subject to our ability to safely and reasonably meet a child’s needs within the group setting.
Parents and guardians are responsible for informing OLDF of any medical conditions, allergies, medications, behavioural concerns, developmental needs, accessibility requirements, emotional regulation needs, learning supports, or other circumstances that may affect their child’s participation or the safety and well-being of others.
Our priority is the safety and well-being of all campers and staff. If a child’s needs cannot be safely or reasonably accommodated within the camp environment, or if information affecting safety was not disclosed during registration, OLDF reserves the right to require alternative arrangements or withdraw the participant from the program.
We encourage families to contact us before camp begins so we can discuss their child’s needs and determine whether Achievers Summer Camp is an appropriate fit.
Every week we share what campers did, what’s coming next and important reminders.
Photo dump, new friends and what we learned in our first week together.
