2020 Summer Day Camps

After careful consideration, the City of Edmonton has decided to cancel summer day camp offerings for the 2020 season. Many variables went into this decision including how current fiscal restraints affect our ability to offer the kind of enriching and safe experience Edmontonians have come to expect and a reasonable price.      

Anyone who had previously registered for a camp will be notified of this cancellation along with instructions about how to receive credit or a refund.

Green Shack programming will not be activated for the duration of the summer season. This decision was made as part of the City’s strategy to reduce expedictures in response to the COVID-19 crisis and will not be affected by Provincial economic relaunch plans.

All City operated outdoor pools, and the City Hall fountain, will remain closed for the duration of the summer season.

This decision was made as part of the City’s strategy to reduce expedictures in response to the COVID-19 crisis and will not be affected by Provincial economic relaunch plans. 

Some new guidelines will are now in place: 

• Users should use local playgrounds in their neighbourhoods and sanitize their hands before and after use.
• Singles activities in tennis or pickleball courts require users to maintain 2 metres of physical distance. 
• Tennis or pickleball doubles are allowed, provided it is with members of the same household or family cohort. 
• Equipment should only be shared by members of the same household or their family cohort.
• Games on basketball and volleyball courts will only be permitted if they are with members of the same household or family cohort. These spaces are also open for casual use, for example, shooting a ball.  
• Picnic site bookings have been cancelled through June 14, 2020 but are available for casual use by groups of 50 people or fewer. A determination of picnic site booking requests beyond June 14 are under review.
• Provincial Playground Guidance

• Maintain 2 metre physical distance
• Gather in groups of 50 people or fewer 
• Only share common equipment with members of the same family or cohort
