Three steps to finding the best Ottawa sports camp for your child

Ottawa sports summer camps and after-school programs give kids a physical outlet and a structured way to develop skills, enjoy the social aspects of camp, with healthy competition during summer and March breaks. 

Here’s OUR KIDS’ essential advice to choosing the best sports camp for your child. 

1. Start with your child’s needs and wants

Younger athletes who are starting out benefit from a focus on fundamentals.  More experienced older kids and teens benefit from programs with dedicated coaching and high-level drills. That’s easy to discriminate on OUR KIDS, where program descriptions clearly describe the camp, the age taught, and more. Kids typically love some sports more than others, and you can use the links below.

2. Look closely at camp staff

Here are questions to consider:

• What is the camp’s and instructors’ level of experience in teaching or running a camp? 
• What is their experience level in the sport they're teaching? 
• Does the camp have vulnerability-sector checks?
• What do reviews say about the instructors? 
• How are programs and groups sized, and what is the ratio of counselors to campers? 
• What are the discipline policies? 

If your child has special needs or dietary considerations, be sure to note those to the camp leaders.

3. Consider the overall camp environment

What are the facilities like? What equipment will your child need to bring, and what's provided? Those are some of the practical considerations. 

You also want to focus on the overall experience the camp offers:

• Is the camp focused on encouraging kids and having fun first? 
• Are there positive reviews mentioning its ability to instill confidence in young players?
• Does it offer focused feedback and clear ways to improve for competitive-level players?
