Camp Riverwood in Pickering

Yesterday, we made the extremely difficult decision to not run camp at our summer home at Petticoat Creek this year. Since the announcement, we received a tremendous outpouring of support and well wishes. This temporary setback will strengthen our Riverwood community and we’ll be back stronger and better than ever in 2021!... Have a safe and happy summer everyone! #RW2021 See more

Our current Early Bird deadline WAS APRIL 1, 2020 AND IS NOW BEING EXTENDED TO MAY 1ST, 2020 to give families more time to make summer decisions. We want you to take this time to focus on staying healthy and caring for your children while they are off school. campveriverwood.com/register... #StaySafe #StayHome See more
