DISCOVER, EXPLORE, AND GROW WITH OUR YOUTH BREAK PROGRAM! 

For Ages 15-25 | March Break * PA Days * Summer Break


Looking for a fun, inclusive, and engaging way for youth to spend their school breaks? Our Youth Break Program is designed for individuals aged 15–25 and runs during March Break, PA Days, and Summer Break. We offer meaningful opportunities for participants to discover new places, form lasting friendships, and develop valuable life skills in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Participants travel primarily by public transit, offering a great opportunity to build independence and confidence navigating their community. For larger adventures—like visiting the Toronto Zoo or the Royal Ontario Museum—we charter a bus to make the trip even more accessible.

Some of our awesome destinations have included:

  • Crock-a-Doodle Ceramics
  • Whitby Fire Station
  • Whitby & Ajax Waterfronts
  • Ajax Community Centre
  • The Putting Edge
  • Playdium
  • North End Bowl & Ajax Bowl
  • Petrina’s Billiards
  • Pickering City Centre
  • Oshawa Centre
  • Pickering Playing Fields
  • Station Gallery
  • …and many more!

This program is more than just fun—it’s a stepping stone.

One long-time participant, involved since 2022, recently applied for a summer counsellor role, saying:

“Because of you guys, when I first came to your camp I just felt more accepted. I made many friends there over the years. I feel like your company was the right place for me to work with—and you inspired me to be myself.”
