Countdown to Summer: Lions Track and Field Camps Return June 30

With just one week to go until the start of our 2025 Summer Camp season, excitement is building at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility. Registration continues to exceed pre-pandemic levels, and we’re thrilled to welcome back so many familiar faces—along with plenty of new ones. Weekly spots remain open until the Thursday before each camp session, so there’s still time to join the fun.

From June 30 through August 22, the Ottawa Lions will once again offer our popular youth track and field camps in both half-day and full-day formats. Morning sessions run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with the full-day camp extending to 4:00 p.m. after a supervised lunch break. For those looking for an afternoon-only option, we’ve got you covered from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Back by popular demand is our Foundation Summer Camp, geared specifically toward athletes aged 12 to 14. Whether you’re an annual club member or brand new to the sport, this program is designed to challenge participants and help them take the next step in their athletic journey. Many campers go on to compete in local and provincial competitions—and most importantly, have a great time doing it.

This summer is particularly special as Ottawa plays host to the 2025 Canadian Track and Field Championships, with Canada’s top athletes aiming to secure their spots for the World Championships in Tokyo. With so much national attention on the sport, our camps offer a unique opportunity for young athletes to be part of something bigger and experience the energy of championship season firsthand.

If you have questions or need more information, reach out to us at info@ottawalions.com or tnedow@ottawalions.com.

We can’t wait to see you at the track!

Registration open for summer camps

The Ottawa Lions are pleased to announce registration is now open for our 2021 Youth Summer Camps. Offering half day programs designed for athletes aged 7-11 and 12-14 years old, the program targets the physical “hurdles” our youth may approach by applying progressive motor skill development, physical strength training, and cardiovascular conditioning.

Building on the success of the 2020 Summer Camps, which saw record attendance under COVID-19 protocols, our camps will again return with the same half day format while adhering to both Ottawa Public Health and Government of Ontario guidelines.

Campers will receive a second to none introduction to the sport of track and field. Children will come away from our program with a higher level of self-confidence, increased knowledge of the sport, and a skill set that will not only support them in the events of track and field but provide solid fundamentals for all other sports.

Camps are scheduled to begin July 5th and will run through the final week of August. For more information on the camps, and the rest of our youth program, please visit https://ottawalions.com/programs/youth-program/
