Dear Campers Welcome to another exciting summer at Dovercourt! Every year we add new specialty programs and creative themes to provide campers with exciting and unique opportunities. Dovercourt offers the most amazing variety of Summer Day Camp programs in the Ottawa area, providing lots to choose from for campers of every age. Some exciting new additions to this year’s camps include white water rafting with Ottawa City Adventures, Little Aces badminton and tennis, and a full line up of creative programs in partnership with the Bluesfest School of Music and Art. For 2015 we are also excited about continuing to expand our most popular programs for youth and teens including our Youth Zone day and overnight, Leader-in-Training and Counselor-in-Training programs. Each year we value our partnerships with other organizations and professionals in the community and are thrilled to be working with a number of them including Young Rembrandts, Radical Science, the Cowguys, Eric Leclerc, Ian Dudley, Little Ray’s Reptile’s, Parmar Soccer, Rogers TV, Advantage Boating, and many more. We look forward to seeing you this summer. If you are new to Dovercourt camps, please feel free to come and visit us in person or give us a call.
