The Ryerson University campus sits on a 21-acre site in the heart of downtown Toronto. The campus is a safe, modern, and attractive space. Most of its facilities are nestled to the north-east of the Yonge Street and Dundas Street East intersection.
Ryerson Summer Day Camp programs centre around two main facilities: the Recreation & Athletic Centre (RAC), located on the main campus, and the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC), located on the site of the former Maple Leaf Gardens on Carlton Street and just a five minute walk north of the RAC.
All Ryerson Summer Day Camp facilities meet and exceed the high standards of the Ontario Camps Association, as well as the standards of local Health and Fire Departments. Ryerson facilities are maintained in excellent condition, allowing campers to participate safely in programming of all sorts.
Recreation and Athletic Centre
The Recreation & Athletic Centre (RAC) is a fully equipped fitness centre, located north of Gould Street at the centre of the Ryerson campus. The RAC features two gymnasiums, an indoor pool, hardword floor dance studios, a 160 yard banked indoor running track, international squash courts, and spacious male and female change rooms among other facilities.
Mattamy Athletic Centre
Maple Leaf Gardens opened its doors to the public in 1931, and for 68 years served as the home of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs. In September 2012, this historic facility reopened as the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC). The MAC offers a basketball court (Coca-Cola Court), fitness centre, and hockey rink where campers can skate under the same dome as NHL legends did for generations.
The Quad
The Quad is a beautiful green space located at the centre of the Ryerson campus. The Quad is surrounded by mature trees, which make the space a quiet and safe location for camp activities. Throughout the typical day at Camp, the sound of children’s laughter often echoes off the walls of nearby Kerr Hall. The Quad is closed for reconstruction in 2018, but is scheduled to reopen in 2019.
Kerr Hall Gymnasium
Located on the second level of Kerr Hall West, Summer campers can be found playing any number of sports here including basketball, volleyball, badminton, and indoor soccer. It’s also a popular space for camp wide activities.
Kerr Hall Lower Gym
During the camp season, the Lower Gym is often used for indoor sports, like basketball, volleyball and soccer. The Lower Gym is located beneath the Gymnasium in Kerr Hall West.
Mattamy Home Ice
This NHL-sized rink is located in Mattamy Athletic Centre, at the site of the former Maple Leaf Gardens. Campers participating in our hockey camps skate under the same dome that Toronto Maple Leaf legends did for over 60 years. State-of-the-art dressing rooms serve Mattamy Home Ice.
Coca-Cola Court
Coca-Cola Court is a 12,000 square foot multi-purpose gym on the second floor of Mattamy Athletic Centre. It occupies a space that housed a private bowling alley in Maple Leaf Gardens, and is now the home of Ryerson Summer Day Camps basketball programs.
RAC Gyms
The Ryerson Athletic Centre is home to two multi-purpose gymnasiums. Finished with hardwood flooring, these gyms are ideal for many of the indoor sports that campers may participate in during their time at Ryerson.
RAC Studios
Three studios can be found in the Ryerson Athletic Centre. Each studio has a designated stereo system, and sprung hardwood floors and mirrors surrounding the studio space. The studios are used by campers participating in sports camps, and we also host our Film camps in Kerr Hall’s Studio III.
