Finnegan Summer Camp
Finnegan Summer offers a range of co-ed camps in the month of July that provide a safe and inclusive environment for all. Our experienced facilitators, predominantly VC teachers and coaches, are dedicated to creating a positive atmosphere where children not only have fun but also grow and develop in various areas of their lives.
Finnegan Summer camps for younger participants encourage play and physical activity to foster development and growth. Our various programs are designed to encourage camp goers to learn through fun and engaging activities.
Programs that cater to older participants including our skilled camps such as Irish Football, Introduction to Lacrosse, and High Performance Training camp allow students to develop and hone their skills as well as discover a new passion. Our unique Headstart camp specifically for new students in grades 7 and 8 will help them transition to Middle School and give them a head start.
We regret to inform you that the Lacrosse Camp will not be offered this summer due to the essential repairs being made on the O'Hagan Field, which will commence in May and continue throughout the summer. However, we are trying to secure an alternate field nearby so campers can attend the Irish Football Camp.
If your son is interested in joining the football camp, kindly provide us with your information through this form. We will keep you updated on the registration dates and any cancellations. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
You can register for our camps here or below.

For full-day camps, campers can eat their packed lunch in a designated area within the school grounds as determined by their teacher/coach. Please note that the school cafeteria service does not operate in the summer months.

POLICIES
Refunds
Once full camp tuition fees are processed, refunds are available if the withdrawal is communicated in writing at least 14 days prior to the start date of the camp. An administrative fee of $50 will be applied for camps $200 or more and $35 for camps less than $200. No refunds will be given if the withdrawal is made within 14 days of the camp start date except for medical reasons with a physician’s note.
Transfers
Requests to transfer from one camp to another may be made in writing at least 14 days prior to the start of the camp. Accommodation of this request is based on space availability in the desired camp, and that the removal of your child from their original camp does not affect the camp’s minimum number requirement. Requests will be handled on a case-to-case basis.
Cancellations
Should we need to cancel camps, we will do our best to communicate this as soon as a decision is reached. However, we reserve the right to cancel any camp up to 7 days prior to the camp start date. In such situations, a full refund will be processed accordingly.
Instructors
We reserve the right to substitute a camp instructor for all Finnegan Summer programs that are listed in the camp offerings/brochure.
