Summer Camps For 4 Year Olds

Amber Rohal — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 13:00:54 +0000

These are the needles in the haystack – summer camps for 4 year olds! Many camps take kids over 6 but these ones know that children in kindergarten need summer camps, too! A few of these camps also take kids as young as 3 because those fall birthdays can be tricky!

This list is new and growing every day, so save it and check back often.

Click here to find all of our Summer Camp guides.

If you know of a camp that takes kids as young as 4, please let us know here.

Why don’t all camps accept 3 and 4-year-olds? In Ontario, if a day camp wants to offer programming for children who are younger than 4, the camp needs a child care licence or needs to follow the rules for unlicensed child care. This includes a smaller child-to-counsellor ratio, plus a few other stipulations that normally only apply to childcare operators.
