Make summer magical at Mulberry Waldorf’s Summer Camp in Kingston! For ages 4-11, explore themed weeks (Music, Fantasy, Nature, Olympics, Mystery) filled with creativity, nature, and play.
We offer programming for both a Junior Camp (ages 4-7) and Senior Camp (ages 8-11) . There can be some flexibility for campers who are 7 years old. Children need to have turned 4 years old by July 1st, 2025 and are toileting independently.
Children will be immersed in both the natural and urban world around them within our building (25 Markland St), our school’s naturalized play yards, and surrounding parks and activity centres. Their time will be balanced with engaging games, crafts, skill-building activities, and various forms of art. Each week will have an overarching theme, and cumulative artistic/craft work to remember their time at camp. There will be four Camp Counsellors (18+ years old), two Camp Directors (Skylar Jordan and Remira Pryce), and several volunteers (13+ years old) every day to facilitate the programming.

AtalliaSenior Counsellor
My favourite hobby currently is watercolour painting and oil pastel drawing. I'm enjoying painting teapots, cows, cacti, and chairs!
An interesting fact about myself is that I taught at the Kingston School of Art for five years, serving as both the Children's Program Coordinator and Instructor. If I could have any superpower, I would want to be a time traveller! Then I could visit ancient civilizations, experience different cultures from the past, and learn as much as I could! |
Junior Counsellors
KarissaJunior Counsellor
My favourite hobby is going to the beach and packing a picnic with me and my partner. An interesting fact about me is that I am going to school to become a registered psychotherapist and have always loved people and helping others. And if I could have one superpower it would be to read minds:)

MaddieJunior Counsellor
I’m super excited to be your counsellor this summer! My favourite hobby is talking about dragons and mythical creatures, and a fun fact about me is that my favourite animal is a cow. If I could have any superpower, I’d choose shape-shifting so I could turn into magical creatures. I can’t wait to meet everyone and have an awesome time at camp!

EmilyJunior Counsellor
I love staying active, especially running and walking! An interesting fact about myself is that I love to scuba dive! I would love to be able to fly, so I could travel to cool new places at the snap of my fingers!
