Iqaluit's Day Camp to run outdoors this summer

This year Iqaluit’s Qaumaniq Day Camp will be run differently due to Covid-19. It will be held outdoors only. However, campers may have access to washrooms and store their belongings inside the Arctic Winter Games Arena.

The Day Camp will have both a morning and afternoon program. Children are permitted to register for either of these programs. The morning program is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., while the afternoon program will run from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

In order to allow more campers to join, participants cannot enroll in both the morning and afternoon programs. There will be a maximum of 20 children between the ages of six to 12 in each group. Qaumaniq Day Camp will run Monday to Friday.

There is a registration fees of $25 per week on a half-day program. Parents are encouraged to register their children for one-week blocks throughout the summer.

The first camp date begins July 6, with registration starting on June 29 at 1:30 p.m. Parents need to create a free Max Galaxy account and register online at https://cityofiqaluitrecreation.maxgalaxycanada.net/Home.aspx. For more assistance, call 867-979-5611 or email recreation@iqaluit.ca.
