Cottage country family fun calendar for June 7-9

Your ontario family travel connection - parents canadaEven though the weather is up and down there is still tons of fun events and activities for families and kids. The key with kids in this weather if you’re doing an outside activity is to be prepared and dress in layers. Be prepared with extra chilly weather stuff or an umbrella and wear layers so if it warms up, you can shed the layers if you need to.

If you haven’t already, now is the time to book summer day camps for your kids. There are some fun activities including biking, golf, horseback riding, art workshops, wildlife interaction, swimming, science exploration and more!! Please visit our summer day camp page on our website for a long list of kid-friendly attractions offering day camps in areas north of Toronto. These can be considered also when visiting or cottaging in the areas. Think about that, parents! Quiet time at the cottage for Mom & Dad, oh yah!
