Set your kids up for a summer of fun times and creative learning. Summer Club is back – celebrating its 84th year – with immersive, in-person camp programs unlike anything else in the city. Engaging, energetic, and full of activities, our summer programs feature in-gallery and classroom learning, bringing kids face to face with the stories held within the vast art, culture, and nature collections at ROM.
Summer Club groups welcome kids ages 5-16 with a variety of themed sessions for different age groups. From ancient Egypt to prehistoric dinosaurs, there’s something for everyone, and new programs are sure to inspire seasoned and novice campers alike. Guided by our experienced counsellors and enthusiastic instructors, Summer Club sparks curiosity, inspires lifelong learning, and gives your kids the opportunity to experience the wonders in the collections and galleries in a fun and exciting way.
NEW this summer!
We’re excited to welcome new groups – In Theory, ROMnivore, and Making Of – each offer a fresh, inspiring way to learn more in our galleries. We look forward to kicking off Summer Club 2026 with campers old and new. Spend your summer at ROM, unearth the fascinating stories in the vast collections, and make memories that will last a lifetime. Journey into an immersive, awe-inspiring envisioning of our world seen from a bee’s perspective in the special exhibition BEES: A Story of Survival. Step inside the hive and uncover 120 million years of resilience depicted in the vibrant, interconnected world of these tiny creatures. Blending immersive art, soundscapes, architecture, and scientific inquiry, campers will learn how integral the small but mighty bee is to humanity’s future.
Our programs fill up quickly - sign up early!

At ROM, we want all kids to enjoy our camps, and we recognize that costs can be a barrier for some families. Thanks to the generosity of donors, we are excited to offer subsidies for families who may need assistance.
Due to the high number of applications we receive, we regret that we are not able to fulfill all requests. However, we track the financial needs identified in all subsidy applications, and use this information to help us plan budgeting and fundraising priorities for our camps.

Confirmations will be sent by e-mail only. Unsuccessful applicants will be contacted by telephone immediately upon receipt of registration.
