Québec City May Reduce Day Camp Spaces by 6%

The city of Québec is poised to reduce available day camp spaces by 6%, according to a recent announcement. This decision reflects the city’s effort to achieve a budget cut of $700,000 slated for 2026.

Impact of the Reduction on Day Camp Spaces

The decrease in day camp offerings will pose challenges for families seeking summer activities for their children. In December, Luc Monty, the General Director of Québec City, had assured the public that availability would remain stable. He stated, “We will manage expenditures regarding the program more closely but without removing spots.”

Additional Reductions Expected

Alongside the decrease in spaces, the city will also cut back on the number of outings provided for youth. Despite these budget reductions, the registration fee for day camps will remain at $68.

• Current Decisions: A 6% reduction in day camp spaces.
• Budget Goal: To save $700,000 by 2026.
• Price Stability: Registration fees maintained at $68.

As the city implements these changes, families may find securing spots in day camps more competitive than in previous years.
