Camp Awesome is a United Church-run, week long day camp offered to Ottawa area children between the ages of 4 and 12. Each day includes Bible-based stories, crafts, songs, games and snacks centered around a theme. Camp Awesome is both a camp for children and an intentional leadership development program for youth and young adults. The camp staff participate in leadership development activities as well as receiving regular, caring feedback to further grow their skills and confidence. Orleans United is proud to have supported this wonderful venture since its inception.

Please note: age limits are strictly enforced. Your child MUST be 4 years old by July 16, 2018 to participate.

(Note: while every effort will be made to place children with their friends, ages and group numbers WILL take priority)

Who is in possession of this child’s Health Insurance Information?

Camp Awesome is committed to meeting the individual needs of each child to facilitate their full participation in Camp Awesome programming. Any information about physical, emotional, or family issues that could affect a child’s participation would be helpful.

If your allergy requires an epipen Camp Awesome policy requires the epipen be on the child at all times.

Please note: Camp is from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Children may be dropped off as early as 9:50 AM and must be picked up by 3:10 PM.

The safety of children is one of the primary concerns of the Camp Awesome program. During program hours we endeavour to maintain the highest possible standards to ensure children in our care are not at risk. Our care and responsibility extends to ensuring that children are returned to an appropriate guardian when our program ends. As a result, parents and guardians are asked to sign their children into the program at the beginning of EACH day, and out of the program at its end. Please identify your preference (changes to this section may be made during the camp on a day-to-day basis)
