Where does camp take place?

Our activities take place in and around the Arnprior and District Museum (35 Madawaska St., Arnprior)

What will the campers be doing?

Campers guide their own learning in collaborative teams over the course of a week. Each week has a different theme and the summer’s themes are released in late-May. We have created huge cardboard cities, filmed movies, including costumes, cracked codes, developed outdoor survival skills, and explored all different kinds of storytelling. Stayed tuned to social media to find out what this year’s exciting themes will be!

Do I have to register for all eight weeks?

No, you do not have to register for the entire summer. You can choose to register for as many and whichever weeks of camp you choose. You can enroll for one or two days, but our programs develops throughout each week, with each day’s activity building on the previous, so it’s often best to attend an entire week if possible

What is the cost of the camp?

One week of camp is $225 for residents and $337.50 for non-residents.

The late pick-up option is $50 for the whole week.

Counsellor in Training (CIT)

The Town of Arnprior is happy to continue the CIT program which provides those ages 11-13 the opportunity to be at summer camp in an elevated role, assisting the camp counsellors.

The CITs are a registrant of summer camp at a discounted rate of 50%. They are still the responsibility of our Camp Coordinators and Counsellors but put in a different environment than that of a camper. The CIT will assist the Camp Staff in preparing, leading, and organizing camp activities. In this role, they will learn valuable skills that will prepare them for life as a volunteer or staff including communication, problem solving, leadership, and more.
