Modern Mississauga and the City of Mississauga have come together to present an ongoing series called “Ask the City.” We’ll share relevant information here and answer your questions about our city.
Today’s question is about the status of summer camps.

Is the City offering any summer camps for 2020? If so, where and when can I sign up? What measures are being put in place to ensure the health and safety of my child?

The City is offering summer camps for children ages 4.5 to 10 starting in July in accordance with the Ministry of Health’s Summer Day Camp Guidelines. Camps will be offered in smaller camp groups with screening protocols in place.

Registrations start on June 22 at 8:30 a.m. online at activemississauga.ca (Customer Service Centre support will be available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 905-615-4100). The camps will focus on fun and creative physically-distanced sports, games and crafts, with activities held outdoors whenever possible.

The City is following the guidelines laid out by the Ministry of Health’s Summer Day Camp Guidelines. This includes preventative measures such as physical distancing, small group sizes, screening protocols and staff wearing Personal Protective Equipment when physical distancing of 2 metres/6 feet can’t be maintained. Camps will not include field trips, swimming and skating. For more information, visit activemississauga.ca.
