“In these pandemic times, City staff are showing great resourcefulness and creativity in developing and providing a wide range of at-home activities for the citizens of all ages in our City including a summer camp option. The old expression: ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’ has never been more aptly demonstrated,”
OSHAWA – The City of Oshawa is excited to announce the launch of our new virtual activities series, activeOshawa at Home. activeOshawa at Home offers a variety of online recreation and culture activities and tips and brings lots of fun for community members of all ages to enjoy and to stay active while at home.

Camp2You Programs and Kits
The City’s new Camp2You program brings the fun of camp to children in their homes. With new activities each week, Camp2You kits are filled with materials and supplies for campers to create, build and explore. Starter Kits (optional) that provide all the basic items needed to complete the weekly activities in the Camp2You program are also available.
Curbside pick-up for families to collect their kit is every Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Delpark Homes Centre and South Oshawa Community Centre.
