Summer Camps in Winnipeg (2026) - The most up-to-date list!

The most Comprehensive Winnipeg Summer Camp List for 2026 is HERE!

Can you believe it’s already that time of year? Yep… it’s almost February, and somehow summer camp registration is already underway. Lists are open, spots are filling fast, and if you blink, you miss it. That’s just how quickly it happens!

 

Every year, we work with families moving to Winnipeg who are asking the same question: “What camps should we be signing our kids up for?” And honestly? Even as Winnipeg parents ourselves, Logan and I are shocked each year by how many new camps pop up that we’ve never heard of before.

 

So, to save everyone the stress (and the scrambling), I started putting together an annual Winnipeg Summer Camp List. A place to see what’s out there and when you need to register.

 

I do my best to make this list as thorough as possible, but I’m human, and I know I’ll miss a few. If there’s a camp your family loves and you don’t see it listed, please send it my way! The goal is to keep this list growing and up to date so it’s an easy go-to for parents year after year.

 

This is now my fourth year creating the list, and thanks to your comments and feedback, I’ve already added several camps that were missed last year, so keep them coming!

 

A huge thank you to everyone who helped contribute to and update the Winnipeg Summer Camp List, your input makes this resource better every single year.

 

Want to be notified when the new list drops? Make sure you’re signed up for our newsletter HERE. No spam, promise. We send one monthly email with what’s happening around Winnipeg, usually include a local giveaway, and share some fun community info!
