New for summer 2026: Join us for Camp Erin! With a focus on fun and engaging activities, Camp Erin offers 1:1 support for children up to age 17.

Who is Camp Erin for?

Camp Erin is available for children living at home in Peel or Halton. 

The first two weeks of Camp Erin are for children with complex medical or behaviour needs requiring specialized equipment or nursing support. Camp will be held at our specialized Regional Respite Centre in Brampton. 

Through the rest of the summer, Camp Erin will be held across our sites for children with challenging behaviour needs, autism or other development disabilities that make it difficult to access community based programs.
