summer camps. Kids can have a fun-filled summer of creating, learning and
enjoying the outdoors! Spots are filling up fast and pre-registration is
required. Registration is available at vaughan.perfectmind.com.
The City’s summer camps
are open for children and youth ages four to 17 years old during July and

a.m. and 9 a.m. and pickup between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. Flex drop-off and pick-up options
are not available at the City Playhouse Theatre or for any half-day camp.
There are more than 40
unique camp options to choose from, with categories such as creative, culinary
and performing arts, enrichment, recreation, sports, outdoor and water
adventures. This year’s camp highlights include:
- Dance with ballet, jazz and hip hop, featuring a recital
