We limit our CIT Program to 6 participants per session.

Based on our experience, we have found that participants are able to grasp the concepts better in small class sizes. This allows them to ask questions as we go and get personal attention.

We take safety very seriously at GTA Photography. You can be sure that your child is in good hands. Here are just some of the measures we have taken to ensure the safety of your child:

• Staff Qualified in First Aid / CPR: All of our instructors and counsellors are trained in First Aid and CPR and are able to treat minor injuries on site. Parents will be immediately notified in case of injury or illness.
• High Instructor to Camper Ratio: Our Kids Camp has a ratio of 2 staff to 12 campers. Our Teen Camps have a ratio of 2 staff to 15 campers.
• Strict Pick up / Drop Off Policy: We have a strict pick up / drop off policy; whereby, you provide us with the proper information on who is allowed to pick up your child and we ensure that they are released only to that individual.
• Background Checks: It is our policy that we conduct background and criminal checks on all staff members.
• Risk Management Training: All of our instructors and counsellors undergo thorough training in risk management and emergency procedures. All of our instructors and counsellors have cell phones and can be reached at any time.

Kids Camp (8 – 12) and Teen Camp (13 – 17).  If you have any questions regarding the age group, please feel free to contact us.

We know that pick up and drop off times are busy for families.  We do everything we can to make it as smooth as possible for you.

At each location, we have designated pick up / drop off areas to allow for quick transitions.  Please consult your Parent Handbook for details.

All of our camps begin at 9:00 AM. Students should be dropped off 10 minutes prior to their start time. All of our camps end at 3:00 PM. Students should be picked up by 3:10pm. We provide Before / After care for our Kids & Teen Camps (8:00am to 5:30pm). 

Before and after care for kids and teen camps is available from 8:00am – 5:30pm  for an additional fee of $65 +HST. *

Please note that camp programming ends at 3:00pm. Simple activities and entertainment are provided during after care.

Yes!  We believe that every child should have access to camp and financial limitations should not be a factor when making the decision to go to camp. Every summer, we have a select number of spots that are open to students in need.

Deadline to apply for financial aid is Monday, March 19, 2018. Campers will be notified if they were granted a spot by end of April. Please fill out the application below and email it back to us (info@gtaphotographyclasses.com) by the deadline.

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION** Please note that this application is currently only offered to Canadian Residents.

Registration is open until the Friday before the session begins. Please note that in prior years most of our camps have sold out months in advance. In order to guarantee enrolment, we recommend registering as soon as you know your schedule and at least a month in advance. Avoid the rush – register early and secure a spot!

Field Trips

Lunch at camp is similar to lunch at school! Campers can either bring their lunch or money to buy a lunch at one of the nearby vendors. All of our locations have food options within a 2 minute walking distance. Whether they are bringing or buying, we always eat together as a group!

Yes!  A tourist visa is all that is required to attend our camp.  Student visa’s are not required for summer camps.

Our programs are taught in English and do require a good understanding of the language in order to participate and follow the program.  Students should be able to converse at an Intermediate to Advanced level in order to participate in our summer camp programs.
