Looking for a day camp to keep the kids active and engaged this summer? Consider a play-filled option with Kitchener Summer Camps at community centres, parks and recreation centres. The City of Kitchener offers weekly camps from July 6 to August 28 packed with imagination, adventure and fun all summer long. Summer camp registration will be open to Kitchener residents on Tuesday, March 24 at 8:30 a.m. (March 31 for non-residents). 

NEW for Kitchener Summer Camps in 2026 

This summer, families will experience a refreshed camp model designed to create more engaging, age-appropriate experiences for every child. Camps will now be organized in smaller groups by birth year, rather than all ages together, allowing staff to plan activities that match each child’s developmental stage and interests.  

These changes will support stronger peer connections, more meaningful activities and better overall camp experiences for kids of all ages. With creative themes, hands-on activities and a new experience every week, campers get to explore, discover and dive into camp. Summer camps are a great way for children to discover new interests, build friendships and stay active through quality, supervised programming. Full camp descriptions are available at Kitchener.ca/Camp.  

Some camps also offer extended before and after care for an additional fee.
