About the Camp
A free week kids look forward to all year
Upwards! Camp is back for its 13th year. This summer we’ll be at Queen Elizabeth Public School, welcoming kids ages 7 to 14 from Ottawa East and beyond for a full week of free, active fun.
Campers play games, compete in sports, create art and music, and take on STEM challenges — all led by volunteer counsellors who genuinely love kids. Lunch and a snack are provided every day, and the week wraps up with a community BBQ for campers and their families.
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
MATTHEW 19:14
Sponsored by Ottawa Gospel Hall
This camp is run by Christians from Ottawa Gospel Hall and includes a short time of Bible teaching every day.
