North of Toronto Family Fun Calendar for May 31 - June 2

Big welcome to the month of June this weekend. Wow, it's hard to believe. When you have kids, people tell you time goes by quickly and they sure weren't kidding!

If you haven't already, now is the time to book your kids into summer day camps. We have plenty of options on our site packed with fun activities and there is definitely a range of interests to suit every child. We also encourage you to consider this option even if you're at the cottage. Kids will enjoy the activities, make new friends and parents can enjoy some quiet cottage time to read and relax...or do that work at cottage that doesn't seem to get done by itself!

Lots Going on for Dads and Fam!

It's also time to start thinking about Father's Day. We had no problem compiling an extensive list of events, activities and weekend getaway offers for not only the family to do together, but also some suggestions if you wanted to send Dad on his own or with his friends. Check out our Father's Day page and continue to check in as we update it with new ideas.
