OCSB Continuing & Community Education Summer Camps were buzzing with excitement this summer, offering a dynamic blend of fun, games, and educational development for students from all school boards. Our camps catered to every interest—whether your child is into robotics, gaming, culinary arts, health and wellness, the great outdoors, or the visual arts, we had something for everyone! With an impressive 28% increase in enrollment from last year, we welcomed a record 5,147 campers across Ottawa. This year, we also introduced a fantastic new camp provider, Busy Minds Ed, who brought a fun and engaging focus on physical, mental, and overall well-being, adding even more joy to our camps.
A highlight this summer was when members of the Ottawa soccer community, Atlético Ottawa, Carleton University, and Ottawa South United, visited our OCSB Summer Learning Program’s afternoon Active Camps. The athletes and staff shared their journey and motivational words about dedication, teamwork and perseverance with the campers. With guidance from Kwesi Loney, Director of High-Performance Sport at Carleton University, and involvement with Atlético Ottawa, they also led them through soccer exercises and fun activities, as they provided them with tips and techniques. Throughout the visits, there was a strong sense of inspiration, engagement and joy in all the children’s faces. We thank the athletes and staff for volunteering their time, and for the free soccer balls all campers received courtesy of Ottawa South United; the visits left a lasting impression, sparking motivation and big dreams!
Camps are the perfect time for your child to explore their passion, learn something new and exciting, be active and have fun! This is exactly what is offered with our Summer, Christmas and March Break Camps at the Ottawa Catholic School Board, Continuing & Community Education.
