The True North Winter Break Multi-Sport Camp in Vaughan/North York is a recreational day camp for boys and girls ages 4 to 12 years old at The Backyard Club (1800 Steeles Ave W, Vaughan, ON L4K 2P3). We prioritize high-quality instruction and a safe experience by maintaining a low 5:1 camper-to-coach ratio and organizing participants into small groups based on both age and skill level.
Operating December 21 - 24, 2027 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., our goal is to expose campers to a wide variety of sports in order to develop fundamental movement and sport skills with an emphasis on fun, fair play, and teamwork. We offer various sports and activities, including cooperative, territory, and target games, as well as:
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Flag Football
- Ball Hockey
- Basketball
- Pickleball
Join us for an active 4-day week where every camper gets to try out a variety of different sports over the winter break!

A Day at Camp!
Every day at camp will be different, but a typical day is set out below. Prior to the first day of camp, families will receive a schedule outlining which sports will be taught on which days. Our coaches make an effort to strike a balance between teaching the necessary skills for campers to improve at each sport and facilitating games and competitions where campers have an opportunity to apply the skills they have learned.
Campers will be divided into groups based on age and skill level to ensure they receive proper instruction and are challenged by each activity!
