Registration for Gatineau’s annual summer camps will begin on May 13. Open to children aged 5 (as of September 30, 2023) through 12, the day camp registration will be divided by sectors. 

Registration will start with the Aylmer sector at 6 pm on May 13, followed by Hull, Buckingham, and Masson-Angers on the 14 and then the Gatineau sector on Wednesday, May 15. Registration for these regions will continue until May 21 and will be followed by the second wave that will open the portal to non-residents as of May 28. This wave will take place within the limits of capacity, closing at 11:59 am on June 13.

This year, all registrations will be done online through the citizen portal. Parents and guardians who have not done so already are advised to create their profiles and have their Gatineau Access cards ahead of time. To ensure fairness, the registration site will close at 5 pm and the first-come, first-served principle will apply as soon as the site reopens at 6 pm.

For resident children without childcare, a typical day at the camp will start at 9 am and will end at 4 pm at the cost of $62 per week. Children who are opted-in childcare services will benefit from more flexible hours; their days can begin as early as 7 am and end at 5:30 pm for $134 a week. Non-resident children will pay a weekly rate of $134 without childcare or $298.75 with childcare services.

The programs will take place over six weeks starting on July 2 and ending on August 9.

The list of each day camp site by sector, available payment methods and a parents’ guide can be found on the gatineau.ca website.
