About our summer camps

Where adventures begin! Each summer our facilities are alive with hundreds of children enjoying our various summer camp programs for ages 4 to 17. Some participate in specialized sports camps led by top professionals in their field, others enjoy the fun of our very popular theme camps under the direction of our professional and talented senior staff!

You’ll notice the difference the moment you arrive – a special atmosphere of fun and caring sparked by an enthusiastic team. We are dedicated to fostering fun and skill development through physical activity, educational programming and creative endeavours in a safe, inclusive and positive environment.

We have a treasure trove of custom tailored activities, both classic and innovative, allowing campers to experience summer the way it should be: exciting, relaxing, eye-opening and a source of great childhood memories. We strive for excellence and take pride in being a leader in program safety, camp selection and instructor quality. A fabulous mix of camps are available.

ABOUT OUR SUMMER CAMPS

The ORCC summer camp programs provide a progression of options for children of all ages and abilities to introduce the sport of paddling that includes canoe, kayak, dragon boat, outrigger, SUP and war canoe.

The Canoe Kids summer camps are a perfect introductory paddling camp for our new and young campers (ages 6 and up) who want to get out on the water for some fun in the sun.

The daily paddling activities are balanced with crafts, games and a day trip or two to various spots along the river, as well as lots of swimming on those hot and sunny days.

No experience is needed and campers work at their own pace to develop paddling skills. These are non-competitive camps with a focus on  boating fun and water safety.

ORCC also offers Regatta Ready Programs, where Campers will receive instruction in various types of paddling from certified coaches, and enjoy spending time on the water practicing what they’ve learned in both single and team boats.

This includes the Fundamentals and Learn-to-Train levels (age 8-14), as well as Train-to-Train (age 13-15), which includes the opportunity to race in local regattas and championships.

Bus service is available from many pickup points across Ottawa for $30/week.

Ages:

6-14

Dates:

Weekly from June 28 through August 20, 2021.
