McMaster Department of Athletics & Recreation Camps: March Break & Summer
A summer tradition for Hamilton area youth since 1977, McMaster Athletics & Recreation Camps have been a constant in sharing the joys of play, learning and friendship with our community while building memories that last a lifetime.
We are currently preparing to run our regular programming and ancillary services for the 2023 season. We will continue to operate under guidance from the Ontario Camps Association (OCA), Hamilton Public Health, and McMaster University and will update families if new information becomes available. McMaster Camps and the university will continue to assess on a daily basis the COVID-19 situation and any changes to public health recommendations. McMaster Camps programming may be subject to change or cancellation with limited notice. We appreciate your understanding.
Life just isn’t the same without summer camp and we can’t wait to make more memories together!

Camp Spaces & Parking: Construction Notice
In October 2018, construction started on the Student Activity and Fitness Expansion at David Braley Athletic Centre (DBAC) and Ivor Wynne Centre (IWC). A few of our camp spaces have changed as a result, but our commitment to Fun and Learning is still the same.
