Info

DEAR CAMPERS... Welcome to summer camp at Dovercourt! We have over 100 different varieties camps for ages 4-16 to provide you with lots of options and unique opportunities. Choose from up to 40 different options per week in an assortment of streams including Visual, Culinary, and Performing Arts, Sports, Overnight, Adventure Academy, Science & Innovation, Youth Zone, Leadership, and Theme Camps. Working together! Our partners make us great - and we are grateful to our long-time partners including BC Sports, Radical Science, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo, Ian Dudley of ORANGE STEM Education, magician Ian Quick, Nick Miller, and many, many more. Summer is short - and we believe kids should be active in the great outdoors as much as possible. We have been working closely with Ottawa’s Kitchissippi Centre, and tweaking our own Adventure Academy programs to get as many campers as we can to spend their days exploring the outdoors with us. We’re parents too. And we get it. Dovercourt’s senior management team is made of parents - mostly parents of campers and camp staff. We are here to help address any concerns or questions you may have and are happy to assist you in selecting the best camp programs for your children. In the meantime, be sure to download your copy of our Parent Handbook, available online, and to check the back of this guide for “Parent FAQs”. See you this summer! Camp Management Team CAMP NEWSLETTERS Camp newsletters with information on drop off and pick up meeting spots, highlights for the week, out-trip details, Camp Director names and photos, and what to bring lists will be available on the Thursday before each camp program. Check our website and Facebook page for more information. MAKE CAMP MORNINGS EASY! Convenient lunch & snack packages provided by Adam’s Apple Café. $45* includes drink, fruit, snacks & sandwich or wrap. *includes applicable tax CAMP SWIMS Camp swims are incorporated into many of our program plans and appropriate staff-to-camper ratios are maintained during all camp swims. Campers younger than 6 years old must wear a personal flotation device (provided by us) and remain in the shallow pool and the ramp area. Campers who are 6 years old and older will be allowed in the shallow part of the pool, and those who pass a swim test will be permitted in the deep end. Most camp groups will not be swimming each day, so please refer to your camp’s newsletter for specific swim days. CAMP ACTIVITY LOCATIONS & TRANSPORTATION The day always starts and finishes at Dovercourt, while many of our daily activities take place in other locations. Our programs take advantage of many outdoor spaces including local parks, elementary and high school facilities within walking distance, and City facilities, outdoor spaces, and beaches. Transportation is done by foot where possible, according to the school board guidelines for walking distance, and based on age. For activities that take place farther away, campers will be using chartered school buses as well as OC Transpo where appropriate, based on the group size and age of the campers. DAILY SCHEDULE Camp activities are from 9am to 4pm. For activities that take place off-site, most camp groups leave the park by 9:15am. Drop off takes place between 8:30-9am. Pick up is between 4-4:30pm. PLEASE NOTE If arriving to camp after 9:15, please visit the camp office or find a member of the management team. Most camps have left their designated sign-in spot after this time and we will help direct you to the camp, or deliver your camper to his/ her group. For pick up, most groups will be in their designated spots by 3:45pm each day but if arriving before then to pick up your camper, please visit the camp office and we will direct you to your camp’s location or bring your camper to you. EXTENDED CARE Need extended care? Pre and Post camp is available for all campers each week. $50/week. Pre-camp starts at 7:30am and post-camp runs until 6:00pm.
