Kids and Trees.. it's only Natural

Envirootkids is the vision of Carol Norton, the co-founder of All About Kids childcare which has four locations in the greater Toronto area. With Envirootkids Carol takes her commitment to children and the environment to the Enviroot Tree Farm.

The Tree Farm is a natural setting for a truly unique camp, school or family experience. The summer day camp, opening this summer, offers athletics, drama, music, nature exploration, crafts, animal care and much more. Kids learn as they play with hands-on experiences – bugs, growing food, getting messy and have fun doing the things they love to do – are designed to teach a positive respect for the environment.

This weekend marks their first open house - drop by on May 30th to experience Envirootkids and Camp Treetop.

3rd Annual Shania's Sunflower of Hope Fun Fair!

Come out for a day of fun with family and friends while raising money for the Sick Kids Foundation. Fun for the whole family - bouncy castles, games, pony rides, silent auction, toy shop and more! Shania was an 8 year old Markham girl who was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in June 2006. Neuroblastoma is a cancer that begins in the embryonic cells which normally develop into parts of the nervous system. Shania started fundraising because she wanted to help children with Neuroblastoma.
