CITY OF OTTAWA CAMPS

HEADS UP...

The City eGuide is currently available but it contains a significant number of key errors in dates, barcodes and more. Please use the information below to choose your camps. Note that we are not running camps at St. Laurent.  

*** below denotes items that appear incorrectly in the CIty eGuide.

Use the barcode links below to directly access the correct registration pages for our camps. Also, you can browse under Children's General Interest LEGO Camps in the City registration system at ottawa.ca. There you will find the correct camp, date and barcode information. 

Carefully check the dates and details on the registration page when you register, as these are more accurate than the City eGuide. If in doubt, contact the Centre to confirm, or reach out to us.

Registration starts at 9 pm on May 11, 2022. Be ready, as these camps will fill quickly.
