Kayla’s Children Centre Purchases 750-Acre Campgrounds in Muskoka, Establishing First-Ever Jewish Overnight Camp for Children with Disabilities in Canada

VAUGHAN, ON, Feb. 21, 2025 /CNW/ – Kayla’s Children Centre (KCC), a school, therapy clinic, and recreational centre for children with disabilities and complex medical needs located in Thornhill, announced today that they have purchased the Camp Tamarack property in Muskoka, a well-respected and beloved overnight camp that has operated in Bracebridge, Ontario since 1981.

KCC is immensely grateful to the Robbins family for their vision and unbelievable generosity in helping to create the only Jewish overnight camp for children with disabilities and complex medical needs in the country. Thanks to their investment, the disability landscape in Canada is profoundly transformed.

Owning their own campgrounds has been a longtime dream for KCC’s leadership team, whose roots are in recreational programming and camping. With the new campground, KCC will be able to serve hundreds of Canadian children with disabilities annually and provide critical respite and support for their families.

“Our core organizational values come to life at camp,” shares Yaffi Scheinberg, KCC’s CEO. “It represents everything we stand for and helps us achieve our mission: opening a world of possibilities for every child.”

“While Camp Tamarack’s chapter is closing after the 2025 camp season, we are confident that the magic of camp will greatly benefit the children of KCC,” say Rick and Ellen Howard, Owners and Directors of Camp Tamarack.

Further details and program specifics will be announced in the coming months, but KCC has their sights set on opening in summer 2026.
