What We Offer

History

Camp Vincent was established by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in 1971, approximately 10 km east of Thamesville, Ontario.

We are located in one of the largest and most significantly forested areas in Southwestern Ontario for size, diversity, forest cover, and rare species...

Camp Vincent Mission

Our mission at Camp Vincent is to provide ALL children from ALL walks of life with safe, exhilarating, and memorable experiences which will last a lifetime, regardless of social, financial, or faith backgrounds. Quality outdoor programming combined with a creative and caring staff, will result in a program designed to meet the needs of our campers. Above all, we strive to encourage, educate, and challenge to allow children to grow in body, mind, and spirit.

Our Philosophy

Camp nurtures kids. Camp develops kids. Camp prepares kids.

We believe that every child, regardless of faith, social, or financial background should have the opportunity to experience all of the benefits summer camp has to offer.

At Camp Vincent, kids will have the opportunity to build stronger social networks, improve attitudes toward physical activity, develop and deepen emotional intelligence and awareness, and foster independence and self-confidence.
