Can I reserve a space for my child in your camp?

No. In order to secure a spot for your child, fill out the registration form and mail or fax it to us along with a payment for the full amount required.

I have registered in other Carleton Camps, why don't you have my child's information?/ I have registered in another Carleton Camp, can I switch my registration over to Virtual Ventures?

Virtual Ventures Summer camps are independent of other Carleton University camps and we do not share the same accounts or registration databases. Registrations cannot be switched over from another camp to our camp or vice versa.

Do you offer a bursary program? Is financial assistance available?

We do offer a bursary program for those that qualify. For more information and an application please visit the Bursary Section of this webstie .

I did not receive a receipt in the mail, how might I get one? Is the print-out receipt at the end of the online registration process a valid receipt?

If you registered online the confirmation email you received can be used as a receipt. You should also receive one in a confirmation package. If you did not receive an email or mailed out receipt, please let us know the camper name, grade and parent/guardian name so we can look it up quickly and send you a receipt.

I'm having problems with your online registration. What can I do?

Sometimes the online registration can be a bit confusing. If the weeks for the camper you wish to register do not show up but the correct camp group does show up in different weeks please check the Availability of the camp. If the week appears to still have space available and you are unable to register please call our office at 613-520-2600 x5007. If you are having troubles with payment by credit card please make sure that the address you provide for the credit card is the same address you have the statements sent to.
