About Us
A summer in the country! Your children can enjoy a wonderful camp that blends nature, recreation and traditional farm activities to create a memorable event.
A forest, a clean-flowing stream and pond, heated swimming pools, shady retreats, sports, barns, canoeing, mountain biking trails and a climbing gym are just the beginning of their adventure.
Every day at Glenbrook presents a new experience… they won’t want to go home!
Glenbrook Day Camp
Glenbrook Day Camp is the summer program of Willowgrove, a private, not-for-profit, charitable organization well known for its quality programs. Since 1968, Willowgrove has offered camping, education and recreation programs all year-round for the community and beyond.
Situated north of Markham, Ontario, on McCowan Road, Glenbrook Day Camp offers more than 100 acres of rural adventure including a forest, a 2 1/2-acre pond, two heated swimming pools, playgrounds, quality sports facilities, heritage farm buildings and many indoor areas for when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
A clear stream dissects the property and shade abounds throughout the program area. Many large grass fields leave children with the sense of space and an appreciation of nature. Glenbrook is hosted by an actual working farm with a full complement of livestock… cows, sheep, pigs and more.
Glenbrook Day Camp is concerned with all aspects of a child’s development. Our varied and diversified activities are geared to different age groups and provide a challenge for everyone. Throughout the program, the intent is to teach and build self-esteem, acceptance of others and a respect for natural surroundings. It has always been our mission for our qualified and experienced staff to provide quality examples and to encourage the children through a Christian perspective. It is our goal to help children develop into considerate, conscientious and responsible individuals. The well-rounded balance of participation and learning new skills promotes a healthy appreciation of oneself, others and God’s creation.
