Horizon Day Camp was developed in an effort to address the summertime needs of youth and families and to provide educational programming to increase intercultural understanding. In doing so, the camp provides a safe and engaging place for youth to spend their free summer time and also contributes to the development of cultural competence in youth.

Led by the Multicultural Academy Canada staff and numerous supporters and cooperators like Ville-Marie Borough, Commission scolaire de Montréal, Montreal Chinese Cultural and Community Center, and CH televison channel, the cooperative effort enables Montreal new immigrants' children to participate in worthwhile summer programming at minimal or no-cost, with the participation of CCTB child tax benefit.
