Information Package
Summer Camps 2016
Thank you for registering your child at the Vanier Museopark summer camp! Vanier
Museopark, a museum dedicated to the history of the Vanier neighbourhood and to the
French language and culture in Ottawa, is situated in the heart of a heritage forest!
During these summer camps, kids aged 4 to 10 will discover the Richelieu forest’s
ecosystem, explore the everyday life of pioneers and much more. Through educational
activities, inside as well as outside, the campers will learn about Vanier’s heritage.
HOURS
Camp begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m., on Wednesdays. A Childcare Service is
available from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., if necessary. Please make
sure to drop off your child before 9 a.m., to avoid time conflicts. There is an additional
fee of 8$ per week if you choose this service. This fee must be paid when registering
for the camps.
