S.T.E.A.M. Camps are a new and rapidly growing learning model that integrates science, technology, engineering and math into one cohesive unit. Académie de la Capitale offers two summer camp programs: AcadeCamp and AcadeCoders. AcadeCamp is an innovative bilingual summer program for kids aged three to nine, incorporating all the elements of S.T.E.A.M. allowing children to explore hands-on science and technology activities, experiment, and get messy. AcadeCoders, for ages six to 14, is a series of challenging summer camps for

techy kids, including Minecraft, coding and robotics. Each week campers will explore concepts, acquire new skills, work on projects and progress through more complex adventures. K-2 Martial Arts keeps things well-rounded! This summer let your children express their inner creative minds!

Altitude Gym’s summer camps are a great way for your child to learn about the sport of rock climbing. In our amazing location, just 15 minutes from downtown Ottawa, the camp team will teach your child the basics of rock

Every summer at Dovercourt brings exciting, new opportunities and 2015 is no exception. There are white water rafting or aviation camps for your young adventurers. Any burgeoning rock stars in the house? Send them to Rock U, where they’ll get the chance to form a band and perform at CityFolk, Ottawa’s world-renowned folk festival. Dovercourt not only has the most amazing variety of Summer Day Camp programs in the Ottawa area but a communal atmosphere means it’s also a place to make friends. Campers start and end the day together, and many counsellors are Dovercourt camp alumni who couldn’t get enough.

For over 75 years Elmdale Tennis Club has been a staple in the Kitchissippi community. Their camp program is designed for children aged six to 12. Elmdale campers get three hours of tennis instruction on high-quality clay courts, learning the basics of the game and an array of tennis skills. Along with playing tennis, campers will get to use the new Fisher Park, complete with an updated play structure and splash pad. Camps will also take out-trips to the many parks and outdoor pools that are close by, and the week culminates in a tennis tournament and lunch-time barbecue. Last year the camps sold out, so if your children are looking to improve their game in a comfortable, safe and fun atmosphere, make sure to register early!

There is something for everyone at the JCC of Ottawa Summer Camps 2015. With camps for children from ages two to 15, the wide variety makes the JCC of Ottawa a one-stop shop for campers this summer. Day Camp offers exciting weekly themes, including Water Works, Animal Planets, and Treasure Island, to name a few. Campers in the Travelling Sports Camp will take a different trip every day, experiencing exciting activities from Wind Surfing, Tubing, Tennis and Rock Climbing to Zip Lining. State-of-the-art pre-school facilities and ECE-certified staff provide a safe, engaging environment. There are 17 one week Specialty Camps being offered including Music Video Camp, Band Camp, Lego Camp Spy Kids Espionage Camp and many more, ensuring new and returning campers stay busy and entertained all summer long! An experienced Senior Management Team runs all of the JCC’s youth programs throughout the year, so parents can expect a comfortable atmosphere where quality and continuity of service is the number one priority.

The National Tennis School has been teaching tennis in Ottawa since 1985 and has seen a whopping 100,000 people attend their lessons and camps. This husband and wife duo leverage their experience to run camps out of multiple locations across the city, allowing parents to pick the best locations for them. The NTS offers much more than tennis camps. Survivor and Mountain Bike camps bring campers by bus to Camp Fortune every day to let them explore their adventurous side on the mountain’s trails and other facilities. Sail and Serve camps head over to Britannia Yacht Club, where they play tennis and receive expert sailing lessons. Be sure to check out their camps for kids of all ages. Sorry parents, NTS programs are for kids only!

Make it an active, sporty and fun summer at the Ottawa Athletic Club. The club’s fully air-conditioned facility houses indoor and outdoor tennis courts, squash courts, indoor golf, indoor and outdoor salt-water swimming pools, along with beach volleyball and basketball courts in our fun Camp Zone.

materials included in the costs of the camps. Individual lessons focus on different elements of art: colour, line, form, perspective, composition, etc. Camps for teens encourage students to focus their attention and develop patience using a narrower range of techniques while having fun.

We often think of video games as something kids spend too much time with, but Real Programming 4 Kids summer camps offer a truly nourishing experience to young Ontario gamers that emphasizes the science (and math) behind game design. The courses are designed for kids aged seven to 17 and tailored to skill levels from beginner to advanced. Campers will learn industry standard languages like Java and C#, unlike the “drag and drop” tools used by some other programming camps.

Each session at Otterdale has a different theme (Space, Elections, Time Travelers) so that returning and new campers alike will have new challenges and experiences. Otterdale is a ton of fun as we develop lifelong skills. Join us and be part of the Otterdale community this summer.
