Summer & Holiday Camps | Cousteau School

Bilingual multi-activity camps

Our weeklong camps during school breaks and summer provide a fun and stimulating environment for your kids!

Our school calendar includes breaks approximately every seven weeks for a total of six weeks during the school year and eight weeks in the summer.

Weeklong camps are offered for each school break (except in December) and over summer vacation. These camps offer a convenient solution to your childcare needs. Your child will love these camps! Run by school staff (educators holding the ECE or ECEA certificate) and external partners, in French and in English, they address a variety of themes. The camps include artistic, physical and recreational activities.

The activities vary depending on the age of your child. Two camps are offered: for the 3-4 year old age group, and for the 5 to 11-year-olds.
