Our team is now working on preparations for the summer 2021 season. Despite the current situation, every effort is being made to provide programs that are fun, enriching and safe at our two day camp sites: the Jardin botanique and the Biodôme.
Building on our experience with the Jardin botanique day camp last summer, we will be closely following public health authority recommendations and rigorously applying whatever public health and safety measures are in force in the summer.
Please note that the summer day camps of 2021 are full.
The Amilia platform is used to register on the waiting list.
