Racquets & Rides

Racquets & Rides Summer Camp at Kanata Montessori

Morning bike rides. Afternoon rallies. A Friday finish worth cheering for.

At Racquets & Rides, campers ages 5½ to 13 (Grades 1–8) spend their mornings on bikes and their afternoons trying tennis, pickleball, badminton and table tennis. Counsellors help campers build balance and confidence on their bikes, then practise footwork, hand-eye coordination and teamwork through racquet games.

What campers will do

• Celebrate on Friday. The week wraps up with a Mini Tour de Kanata, Racquet Olympics and awards.
• Swim once a week. Campers take a break from bikes and racquets for a refreshing swim.
• Try four racquet sports. Campers rotate through skill stations and games, with choices about what to practise. The Montessori-inspired program encourages kids to look after their gear, take mindfulness breaks and learn from campers of different ages.
• Ride each morning. Campers practise balance and bike control while building confidence on group rides.

Each week is limited to 24 campers, with an 8:1 camper-to-staff ratio. All staff are certified in first aid and CPR Level C and have completed police record checks.
