Summer camps 10% discount and payment plan option
To help make summer camps more affordable for families this summer, Ottawa residents will receive a 10 per cent discount on summer camp registrations. The 10 per cent discount has been applied to the fees displayed online and will show on the receipt at the point of payment.
For families registering for multiple camps throughout the summer, consider the payment plan option at no extra cost. Rather than paying in full for all camps at the time of registration, stagger the payments for each camp throughout the summer. Your credit card will be charged on the Sunday two weeks in advance of the camp start date.
