Summer Camp registration is open now!
We offer summer camp programs for campers ages 4 to 13 years. What is Camp Aliquam? Camp Aliquam is the Town of Orangeville's summer camp program, just with a fun name. What does Aliquam mean you ask? From the Latin origin we have interpreted the meaning to reflect “that to a large extent our camps are fun and awesome and have been for a long time!"
Please review our All About Camps document for specific camp details:
A Camper Information Form is required for all campers. Please bring your completed form on the first day of each week of camp. A new form is required each week. Paper copies will be available at the sign-in desk. Please allow an extra 5-10 minutes to complete the form before dropping off your child(ren).
