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.

This year Focus on Nature will conduct Summer Camp at the Ella Foote Hall in Burlington. This location is right above the Bruce Trail and has open fields for campers to explore the outdoors and take incredible perspective photos.

Focus on Nature Camp week will be:
August 5 - 8, 2025

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

Camp fee: $300/week
Camper age: 8 to 12 (at the time of camp)

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.

A confirmation email will be sent after registration (check your spam folder if you don’t receive it!) Further details will also be sent by email one week before camp starts.

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

Thank you,
The Focus on Nature Team
