Gee-Gees summer camps give the youth in our community a chance to learn and explore in a safe, friendly, and bilingual setting. These specially designed programs allow children and youth to take part in a variety of sports, leadership programs, activities and recreational swims. The chants, laughter and friendly banter of campers and counselors are now a staple on campus!

The Our Kids review of Gee-Gees Sports Camps

The U of Ottawa team is known as “GG” for garnet and grey, the school colours. The Gee-Gees Sports Camps, hosted here through the summer months, are a direct expression of those programs: expertly run and conducted in a professional, world-class setting. Lunch is in the caf, included in the session fees, and there is an option of daily swimming in the Olympic sized pool. The coaches are hired from the varsity programs, and getting to know them is part of the experience. All skill levels are welcome, including elite athletes intending to develop their skills, to kids who just want to try something new. In all, it’s as inspiring as it is athletically sound.

• Sports at the Heart of Gee-Gees Camp Activities

  During the recent March Break, the uOttawa Gee-Gees were pleased to welcome over 80 children on its fields during the sports camps. The camps focused on sports exercises to allow children to have fun in a safe environment. 

  Supervised by instructors and sports enthusiasts, the young Gee-Gees were able to develop their physical skills in a dynamic atmosphere. There was no room for boredom at camp!

  During the week, kids could play soccer games, rugby games, basketball games and more! Between the various sports practices, obstacle courses and tag games were organized to the delight of all.

  To ensure a healthy and balanced diet, children were served snacks such as apples and oranges every day, as well as full lunches offered by the University's Food Services.
