There are endless number of activities your students can do during the summer. The following are some possibilities mainly around the Greater Toronto Area, but including Ontario as well.
We just took a group of students to Kensington Market in Toronto on Pedestrian Sunday (see here for this year’s dates). The roads were blocked off and pedestrians could walk freely around this eclectic neighbourhood.
Share with your students a typical North American past time by watching the Blue Jays. Understanding baseball can be a challenge if they aren’t familiar with the rules of the game. Regardless, they should be entertained with the activities featured in between the innings. The more is always the merrier.
If you are looking for a more serene and typical Canadian experience, invite your friends over for a BBQ or a weekend at the cottage. We’ve tried bringing a group camping at Muskoka or on a road trip to Niagara Falls or Ottawa. If you like something lighter, there are always parks that are perfect for walking and hiking. Walking along our Great Lakes such as Lake Ontario can be a wonderful experience. Check out the Harbourfront, or our beaches.
