Mission: Camp Diamond provides youth with the opportunity to experience the outdoors and create a sense of
self-confidence and awareness so that they are better equipped to achieve their best.

During our family camp programs, we strive to provide families with time to bond, create memories and learn new
skills. Throughout our girls' programs, we aim to encourage girls to try things they have never done before, learn
how to problem-solve, and to develop a keen sense of independence.

The five main principles of Camp Diamond include strength, joy, enrichment and diversity. We want our campers
to have strength in their own choices, joy in partaking and participating in a community atmosphere, enrichment
of skills and opportunities, diversity of people, talents and ideas, and building a sustainable environment.

Who is the Camp Director/Owner?

Suzanne "Buttons" Slater has been in the camping industry for over 15 years and has experience as a camper, counsellor, senior staff and director. As a former Camp GayVenture girl , she has based the philosophy and vision of Camp Diamond on her experiences at the former all-girls camp. In 2003, she directed and managed the Toronto Area Girl Guide Camps at Ma-Kee-Wa (Orangeville) and Bonita Glen (Barrie). Not only has she been involved in camps in Ontario but in the Northeastern United States as well. Buttons has received her Camp Director certification from the American Camping Association and holds current teaching certificates in both Ontario and Massachusetts as well as a Master of Education from Boston College. In the off-season she works on promoting the camp to prospective campers and families and offers tutoring support to children in the Toronto area between the ages of 6 and 14. Involved in the American Camping Association and Ontario Camping Association (OCA) Standards Committee, she holds the camp and its operations to the strictest guidelines of both camp organizations.
