Due to the hands-on nature of these activities, pre-registration is required as there will be a maximum of 20 children per camp. Each day will start at 9:30 am with pick up at 4:00 pm. 

The best news is that Camp Hillary is one of the most affordable summer activities you will find: the cost is $15 per child for the day or $35 for all three camps! For more information or to register your child contact the AHS office by phone at 905-727-8991 or by email at community@aurorahs.com.
