Hello!

Focus on Nature is a registered charity operating in Southern Ontario that inspires young people to explore and connect with nature through photography. We conduct workshops in schools and day camps in the summer and during March Break. We envision a world where our connections to nature create a healthy, flourishing planet. We see a critical role for the arts in fostering these connections.

The Focus on Nature Summer camp experience is like nothing else! This year, our Cambridge camp will be based at the Hespeler Arena. Registration will be handled through the City of Cambridge camp website.

Weeks Available:
July 28 - August 1, 2025
August 5 - 8, 2025

Camp hours: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm.
Early dropoff and late pickup: 8 am-5 pm ($5 per half hour)

Camp fee: $264.40/week or $211.52 (for a 4-day week)
Camper age: 8 to 12 (at the time of camp)

Our camps are a wonderful opportunity for budding photographers to develop their skills while exploring all the natural beauty the trails around Hespler Arena have to offer! 

Campers will spend time outdoors each day on guided photo walks, playing outdoor games, and other nature activities. Campers will also learn how to edit their images, create a slideshow, and take it all home when camp is over.

Each camper will be provided with their own camera and a laptop for photo editing. They may bring their own camera if they are familiar with its use. They should also bring a cleared USB memory stick to save and take home their best photos.

For health and safety, all equipment will be sanitized before use. Our camp staff have completed a Police Records Check for Vulnerable Sector . Camps are limited to 25 campers per day.

Further details will be sent by email one week before camp.
To register, please complete the registration form for each camper attending.

We look forward to helping your child find new connections to nature through photography!

Thank you,
The Focus on Nature Team
