COVID-19 Announcement

Thank you for your patience while O-YA works with the Province of Ontario, the City of Ottawa, Ottawa Public Health and our Board of Directors to determine whether we will be able to offer Summer Camps in 2020, and how they will look with COVID-19 restrictions.

After many discussions, it is with a lot of disappointment that O-YA announces the cancellation of our Teen Leadership Camp for 2020. All participants will receive a full refund of paid registration fees.

The Ontario Provincial Ministry of Health has released a set of Guidelines that all Summer Camps must follow during this time of COVID-19 restrictions. Unfortunately, many of these new requirements don’t allow O-YA to offer some of the activities that make our Leadership Camp great. Notably, one of the key restrictions is that Summer Camp cohorts must be a maximum of 10 participants (including staff and participants). O-YA’s Leadership Camp had 24 registered participants and 3 staff – making this an impossible restriction.

All of O-YA’s staff are very sad about this cancellation. Teen Leadership Camp is one of O-YA’s favourite programs of the year. We truly hope to be able to return to our regular Leadership Camp in 2021.

Over the summer, please keep your eyes out to O-YA’s social media and email newsletters! O-YA is in the midst of planning some really fun virtual activities for teens, and we hope there will be something offered that will capture the interest of your teen(s).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact O-YA at info@o-ya.ca.
