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.

About our summer camps

Choose tennis, sailing, rowing/paddling, or two of these sports for full days, half days, one week or two. For all skill levels.

TENNIS: For Beginner and Intermediate, Ages 7 to 16. Every camper learns stroke basics, game strategy, footwork, sportsmanship and receives an ONEC day camp tshirt. The camp is run in a safe and structured environment by responsible and mature tennis instructors.

ONEC’s day camps are a great way to get your child interested in tennis or to build on the skills they already possess. Campers are assessed on the first day and grouped according to level of play.

Off-Court Activities: Even Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams don’t play tennis all the day long. At ONEC, we offer structured off-court activities that complement the tennis program every morning and afternoon. Activities include Frisbee golf, capture the flag, and other forms of active and quiet play.

SAILING: Sail Canada CANSail 1 to CANSail 4, Ages 9 to 16. ONEC operates a sailing camp for youth between the ages of 9 and 16. The students receive quality instruction stressing safety, fun, and learning. They are introduced to many different elements of sailing, safety practices, and seamanship. They will develop new skills in boat handling and sailing for both fun and competition.

Sail Canada-certified instructors teach trainees, and successful trainees receive Sail Canada certificates from CANSail 1 to CANSail 4. We emphasize safety and low student-to-instructor ratios in accordance with Sail Canada guidelines. With our flexible week-to-week program, your child can move up through the levels as the summer progresses.

ROWING & PADDLING: For Beginner and Intermediate, Ages 11 to 17. This summer get your child out on the water at an Ottawa New Edinburgh Rowing and Paddling Summer Day Camps!

He or she will have fun learning a new sport (or improve on the skills learned last year), discover the amazing Ottawa River, and make new friends! Day campers are taught by trained coaches. Both programs provide achievement certificates.

We treat others the way we would like to be treated. We demonstrate honesty, respect and caring in our work with the children, families and professional systems, as well as with each other. We recognize and honour each child and family’s unique personal and cultural heritage from their interactions with others.

About Ottawa Girls Hockey Association Programs:

Building strong and confident girls since 1999, the OGHA is a girls minor hockey association geared at developing and promoting the love of hockey to our young women. Our programs begin for players as young as 4 years old.

FUNdamentals:

Fun is key in OGHA’s FUNdamentals program. FUNdamentals is the OGHA’s initiation to hockey program starting with children aged 4 and above.

It is a structured, learn-to-play hockey program that uses Hockey Canada’s Initiation Program curriculum to teach beginners basic technical skills (skating, puck handling, stopping, passing, turning and shooting) in an atmosphere that stresses fun, cooperation and fair play.

Led by former NCAA and Team Canada player Isabel Ménard, FUNdamentals has female certified instructors and several hockey-playing volunteers.

House League:

The OGHA’s House League concept is designed to accommodate all age and skill levels. There is a combination of practices and games.  The focus is to teach and develop age-appropriate skills in order for players to move on to the next level of hockey.

Competitive:

The OGHA fields competitive teams from Novice to Intermediate/Senior. Competitive teams have letters after the age-grouping (ie. Novice B, Atom AA, Bantam C, Intermediate/Senior A) to indicate the competitive tier. Competitive teams are on the ice three to five times per week and may have additional off-ice training sessions.

Goalie development programs and tournaments are also offered by the OGHA.
