Summer Camps For Kids In Winnipeg 2026
Updated: April 18, 2026 . My third annual summer camp list. It keeps growing more and more. Many of these camps sell out fast so often you need to be quick on registration. Time for the annual update for our ultimate summer camp list. Spring is around the corner, and with this warm winter, people are already thinking about summer. When summer comes our family is always looking for something to do. We aim for something educational and preferably something outdoors. And I know many other families do the same.
I have searched the internet high and low looking for every camp possible. If I missed one, please send me a message or comment below and I will add it ASAP. Is there anything else you'd like to see? Let me know. I have tried to be as detailed as possible including the area, cost and a short summary of the camp. Each summer camp will have a linked website to get more information and register. And here it is:
