Camp Otonabee - Mini Overnight

Camp Otonabee offers an overnight camp program for campers looking to have a traditional sleep-away experience. Campers will participate in an exciting outdoor camp experience where they will share a cabin with other campers and their counsellors with 24-hour supervision. All campers will participate in day camp programming, as well as share in evening camp fires, evening programs and experience a traditional overnight camp program. Campers are split into different cabin groups; juniors (8Y-10Y), and seniors (11Y-14Y). This year, Camp Otonabee is also offering a 4-day overnight option for campers ages 6Y-8Y. This is a great introduction to traditional overnight camp for some of our youngest campers on site. We encourage this option for campers who have spent time away from their homes and families, but who may not have experienced an overnight camp before. Sessions see campers arrive on Monday morning and leave Friday at the end of the camp day. Overnight campers are welcome to take the Otonabee buses that depart from various locations throughout the city of Ottawa, or may opt to be driven to and from camp on the first and last day. The bus schedule is available on our website. All meals will be provided throughout the week, beginning with lunch on the first day of camp and ending with lunch on the last day. Camp Otonabee promotes an inclusive environment and has female, male, and all-gender cabin options for Junior and Senior campers. The mini overnight program will be offered as an all-gender cabin. Cabins are also divided by age; Mini campers are ages 6Y-8Y, Jr. campers are ages 8Y-10Y and Sr. campers are ages 11Y-14Y. Please note that there may be weeks were Junior and Senior campers will be sharing a cabin, however they will travel in separate groups throughout the day. Camp Otonabee counsellors are skilled at leading conversations around inclusiveness, and will ensure campers feel safe and comfortable with their cabinmates while creating memories that will last a lifetime! Each room has two bunk beds, and there are four rooms within each cabin. Counsellors are stationed at the front of the cabins to allow traffic in and out of the cabin to be maintained in a safe manner and provide 24-hour care to campers. Please include any cabin requests you may have in the friend request section of the registration form.
