We will resume Summer Camp registration on two distinct dates :

on Tuesday March 13th at 10 a.m. for the camps at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum and the Canada Science and Technology Museum and
on Wednesday March 14th at 10 a.m. for the camps at the Canada Agriculture Museum.

Prior to beginning the Summer camps registration process, we suggest you review the Camps availability list (pdf).

This year we have faced serious technical difficulties due to a higher than anticipated demand for summer camp registration and the introduction of a new online system. We are extremely aware of the hardship experienced by clients, we sincerely regret this situation and apologize for the inconveniences.
