Summer Camps for ages 8–9 in Toronto.
45 camps in Toronto accept ages 8–9. Median week: $430; range $300–$475.
8–9 is the sweet spot for Toronto summer camps — kids can do a real specialty week (one-sport intensive, theater production, full-day STEM build), they can handle a longer drop-off, and most are ready for an overnight if you go that route. Catalog depth peaks here too: nearly every camp in town accepts this band.

↘ What to look for
Push past the marketing copy on what the camp actually does. A one-week "robotics camp" might mean kids assemble pre-cut kits, OR it might mean they design from scratch using parts from a real makerspace — those are different products at the same price point. Ask for the daily schedule, sample project photos, and whether the instructors are practitioners or college kids.
