Jardin Infantil Academy

The Jardin Infantil Academy runs six streams of popular summer camps in the West End – High Park in Toronto. Founded in 2000, they serve children as young as 5 years and above and parents can sign campers up for multiple weekly sessions. Their mission in their own words is to “nurture curious young minds, to develop confident, resilient, and passionate children with strong problem-solving skills.”

What makes JIA camps different: They incorporate Multilingualism in all their programs, through the “Word of the Day” game! Their Cooking Camp is also Multicultural, as the chefs on the making prepare and taste foods from around the world. Also, this year, featuring a brand new Camp: “Go with the Flow” designed for all our friends out there who want to participate on an educational and structured program but require a bit more time to move from one transition to the next.

This Toronto academy boasts several different programs focusing on art, cooking, sports, theatre, and nature. The camps inspire creativity and friendliness in campers while maintaining a non-competitive environment so no kid feels pressured. There are a large number of activities that include everything from exploring the woods and the beaches, dance, acting, art projects, soccer, and basketball among several others.

They offer full-day summer camps as well as year-round options, so the fun doesn't have to stop at the end of summer. Children will have hours of outdoor fun while being able to further explore other interests while surrounded by friends. Jardin Infantil Academy is quite flexible and willing to work with parents to choose the right program for their kids.
