Sending Kids from Mississauga to Summer Camp
Every year we send 80 children to our summer camps for a life changing experience. Operated by The Salvation Army Ontario Camping Ministries, we have two camps located in Huntsville and Jackson's Point Ontario.
Ontario Camping Ministries seeks to ensure campers, staff, and volunteers feel a sense of belonging within this safe and fun community, that they are encouraged to grow in a variety of areas through camp opportunities, and that they experience and learn more about Jesus and His amazing love for them. Registration starts in February, please contact your local site for more information on the registration process.
Blaze Adventure Camp
Camp Blaze, on Lake Simcoe just one hour north of Toronto, is the summer adventure that kids are waiting for. Each day will be filled with fun activities. They will learn new skills, and try activities like archery, sports, canoeing, swimming, rock climbing, and as the sun sets they’ll be taken on a wagon ride.
They can also run the gauntlet in the inflatable challenge course or jump high in the bouncy castle. Camp is here to help kids live courageously, make new friends, have a positive attitude and learn some new life lessons.
Newport Adventure Camp
Race along the bike trails, conquer the heights of the ropes course, and venture out on the kayaks. Experience Newport Adventure Camp this summer! This camp is about new things…experiencing the wilderness of Muskoka, swimming in the blue water of Skeleton Lake or shooting hoops on our amazing basketball court. There are crazy theme days, activities together as a cabin group and camp wide events that are bursting with excitement. Come and experience what camp is all about this summer.
Moms & Kids Camp
Moms and Kids Camp, also on Lake Simcoe, is a great way to get away and spend some quality time outdoors with your kids. Our team will provide programming for your kids throughout the week so you have some time to focus on you. Enjoy camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, rock climbing, worship, sessions and more at Jackson’s Point Camp.

FAQ
The cost for our camps is subsidized by various levels of The Salvation Army and is often different based on your circumstance. Our commitment is to make camp reasonable and accessible for all families. Just give our office a call and we will be happy to help!
Accommodation depends upon the program. In our Adventure Camp program the boys ages 11-13 sleep in trailers and all the others sleep in cabins. All beds are twin bunk beds. Campers are expected to bring their own sleeping bags or linens.
Ontario Camping Ministries runs 7 weeks of camp starting on July 6th and running until August 21st. Your child will go for one week starting with drop off on Monday and Pick-up on Friday.
The Salvation Army Summer Camps are not located in Mississauga. There are two distinct camps for different age groups.
​
Jackson's Point Camp (Blaze Adventure Camp) is located on the southern shore of Lake Simcoe just outside of Sutton, ON. This camp is for kids ages 7-10
​
Newport Adventure Camp is located on Skeleton Lake in Muskoka. About 16 Kilometers west of Huntsville, ON and for kids ages 11-15.
We provide transportation to and from the camps. Usually we will drop off at the closest of the two camps and and any campers going on to the other site would be shuttled on a school bus provided by the camp, a two hour trip.
