Providing creative and engaging overnight and day camp experiences in the heart of Hamilton's beautiful Dundas Valley forest since 1960

Canterbury Hills Camp is an Ancaster based summer camp that has been operating for over 60 years. Our unique camping experience provides opportunities for children and youth to build community, engage in experiential learning and increase environmental awareness. Camper groups are given the opportunity to plan their schedules for the week based on their personal preferences and unique ideas, making every week at camp new and exciting!

We still have 3 spots open for teen camp boys!

Teen camp is our longest camp program, with campers sleeping over for a whole 8 nights. ๐Ÿ’ค

Teen camp features many aspects that are unique to teen camp! This includes, but is not limited to:

- Two nights of campout (compared to one in our typical overnight program)
- โ€œChoice chunksโ€ (Campers can split from their group and pick which activity they would like to participate in. This could include woodworking, fitness, specialized activities at our rock-wall and more! The options change every year!)
- Nighttime activities, typically in our overnight program, activities stop after our campfire. At teen camp, there is opportunity to extend the day and do more fun things
- Canoe trip
