The University of Ottawa offers children and youth in our community the opportunity to learn and explore in our safe, friendly environment. Our fully bilingual Gee-Gees make up our team of coaches, counsellors and leaders. Our specially designed programs motivate all children and youth to take part in a variety of sports, games, activities, and initiatives. The chants, laughter and friendly banter of campers and counsellors are a staple on campus!

Send a Kid to Camp

The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees Recreation sector is pleased to once again offer our Send a Kid to Camp initiative. It’s backed by generous donations from employees, parents and corporate partners of the Gee-Gees Sports Camp Fund. The initiative helps make Gee-Gees camps accessible to deserving children in financial need within Ottawa. To apply, please email [email protected] with your name, your child’s name, your phone number and a brief paragraph explaining why your child should be chosen to attend a camp. Spaces are limited, and we reserve the right to determine which applicants we will select. The camps team will contact the selected applicants.

How can I contribute?

To support this initiative, the University of Ottawa kindly welcomes donations from anyone interested in contributing to the Sports Camp for Children Fund. You can donate online by selecting "Gee-Gees Sports Camps for children", and you will receive a tax receipt for your contribution.
