Frequently Asked Questions

At Camp Robin Hood, parents have the option of driving their
campers to our site in Markham or selecting our door-to-door or neighbourhood
transportation service at an additional fee.

For families choosing to drive their children to camp, our drop-off time is 9am daily with pick-up at 4pm within a designated area of our site. We also offer before and after camp care, for parents who would like to drop their campers off outside of these times.

For campers travelling on buses, our daily routes begin at 8:00am and all of our buses leave our site at
approximately 4pm. We work very hard to make certain our bus routes are fast and efficient and the trips to and from camp are fun-filled. Our Bus Challenge Cup programs are a part of the daily bus experience. We work closely with the bus company and directly with our parents to make certain we satisfy every need. Our carefully selected Bus Administration Team provides leadership to all of our Bus Counsellors. They supply training, program materials, song books and daily challenges to keep campers of every age involved on our buses and having fun!

We appreciate the loyalty and are happy to extend an additional 5% off camper fees if a parent is a former staff member (maximum 5% discount per family).

As the summer approaches and our campers prepare themselves for camp, a few may experience a great deal of apprehension. For them, a new environment, meeting new friends, adjusting to a new counsellor and travelling on a strange bus may be the cause of the discomfort. However, children are complex and may have other uncommunicated problems. Please do not panic. "I won't go" or "I don't want to go" are not unexpected responses. With care and a positive exposure to camp, apprehension disappears quickly.

If you experience concerns, it would certainly help if you let our Directors/Owners Sari and Howie Grossinger, know in advance if your child is experiencing any reluctance. They will be able to offer many suggestions which include: encouraging your family to attend our Open House in June and/or a visit to our camp site prior to your child's first day of camp. We are always prepared to help.

Like any program in an outdoor setting we are subject to all types of weather conditions. Rain conditions and extreme heat can effect a day at camp. We are confident that regardless of the type of weather we receive, a safe and sheltered experience will be provided for our campers. Programming will reflect what is in the best interest of our campers so that a comfortable day is had. Drinking lots of water, slowing the pace of activities, gathering in our 7200 sq.ft. Arrowdome or providing more opportunities to get wet on a hot day are just some examples of meeting the needs of Robin Hood campers.

1 Week registrations are only available to campers that have registered for a minimum of 1 session (2 weeks) and where space is available. 1 week registrations are not eligible for the longer stay discount and will be charged a pro-rated fee based on a 9 or 10 day session. Requests for a 1 week extension can be made on the application.

Yes! As long as there is space in the program desired we are happy to make the change.

There are many other ways to reduce your camp fees. Refer to our "Fees and Dates" section of this website (under the 'Parents' menu) for details.
Please Note: Additional program fees such as transportation, lunch and before & after camp supervision are not eligible for discounts.

You may choose to reduce your child's stay at any time. Up until March 1st, 2011 you will receive a full refund on camp fees. Cancelation or reduction at any other time is subject to the following fees:

We have created a calendar with a special theme listed for each day on our summer calendar. Our staff, Bus Administration Team, many of our drivers and our campers often choose to dress in costume to fully participate in these themed days. Campers may choose to dress up for some or all of these days if they wish.
