Upper Canada College Summer Life is a co-ed summer-in-residence program for students ages 9 to 16. The energetic and cosmopolitan backdrop of Toronto provides numerous enrichment opportunities.

The program is comprised of three sections: Juniors (ages 10-11), Intermediates (ages 12-13) and Leadership (ages 14-16). Campers in the Junior and Intermediate divisions will choose from a wide variety of one-week day camps, selecting three diverse camp options to experience within their time with our 3-Week program. Leadership campers will participate in UCC’s leadership-in-training program incorporating a team-centred approach to initiative, volunteerism and mentorship.

From a skating complex that’s second to none to well-equipped, newly renovated and secure boarding houses, UCC’s facilities inspire fun, learning and resilience in our participants’ every pursuit. Best of all, it is located on 40 beautiful acres in the heart of Toronto, Canada, just a 20-minute drive from Pearson International Airport.

UCC’s Summer Life experience allows students to select from a wide range of day programs, including robotics, visual arts, film and theatre. An array of sports camps includes golf, tennis, basketball, baseball and soccer. Students will spend their days integrated into UCC’s day camp population, connecting with local campers and enhancing their English language skills.

Since the start of the UCC Summer Life program in 2018, we have welcomed students from over 17 different countries! A few of these countries include Oman, Brazil, Vietnam, Turkey, China, Japan, Korea and Italy! 10% of UCC Summer Life program participants are local students from Toronto, Canada!
