The City of Dorval offer various day camp programs that delight teens and children who take part in them!
Each of our programs is led by an enthusiastic and qualified team, ready to provide all participants with a memorable and enriching experience. Join us for an unforgettable summer!
Enjoy a great experience! The Adventure Quest Camp has been specifically designed to better accommodate younger teens. Organized by Dorval’s Teen Zone, it promises you a summer filled with activities and fun experiences!
This camp, intended for teens ages 11 to 15, takes place during the summer at the Teen Zone, located in the basement of the Sarto-Desnoyers Community Centre, in room S-008.
Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
▶ As of Thursday, March 12, at noon: For Dorval residents only
▶ As of Thursday, April 9, at noon: For non-residents
* The cost of the first shorter week will be prorated based on the number of days at camp.
Be ready for registration! Have your child’s health insurance card and emergency contact information on hand. It would also be useful to have your social insurance card to add your number in order to receive the RL-24 slip.
Important: If the registration will be done by the father, we strongly recommend contacting the City at 514 633-4000 a few days before registration. As you may know, during the transfer of files to the new registration platform, in the fall of 2024, children were added to the mother’s profile and not the father’s. This could cause problems for some families.
If you wish to register your child for the support program, please submit the application form by February 15 to the following email: pa@ville.dorval.qc.ca.
The document is available on the website, by clicking here.
Before June 16, refund requests can be submitted through the Amilia registration platform. After this date, requests must be submitted using the designated form (see below), sent by email.
No requests to change weeks will be accepted due to waiting lists.
If you have any questions regarding the Adventure Quest Camp, you can send us an email at lc@ville.dorval.qc.ca.

At the SACC

We ask parents to prioritize swimming lessons offered at 9:05 a.m., Monday to Thursday, in order to facilitate the camp’s operations.

Get hands-on day camp experience with the LIT program!
Two locations:
Designed for teens ages 14 to 17 (as of June 1), this program will help them in their quest to become a camp monitor. This hands-on program provides participants with real-life work experience, helping them develop important skills, gain knowledge, and build confidence. Leaders will learn a variety of skills and techniques by taking part in a 70-hour fieldwork experience at the Dorval Day Camp.
At each of our locations, two LITs per group will be able to complete their practical hours during the summer. The schedule will be determined according to the LITs’ availability and the needs of the City. We strongly recommend that the 70 hours be completed consecutively, for the best possible day camp experience.
Please note that the Dorval Day Camp is open Monday to Friday. Regular programming hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., while the daycare service is open from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
All day camp LITs will be invited to take part in some staff theoretical training in June and in team meetings. These meetings will allow LITs to gain more skills and knowledge and will allow them to better understand how to organize and operate a day camp. Following their registration to the program, all LITs will be contacted by a member of our team to plan and discuss their schedule. We’ll also give the LITs two T-shirts to wear during their practical training, so they’ll be clearly identified with the program and our team.
The LIT program is offered free of charge. Don’t wait, as there are only 8 places available.
As of Tuesday, March 12, at noon: For Dorval residents only, online only via the Amilia platform
As of Thursday, April 9, at noon: For non-residents, online only via the Amilia platform
A completed LIT program mentioned on your CV will give you an undeniable competitive edge!
This integration program aims to encourage young people with special needs to participate in the City of Dorval’s March Break and summer programming (activities in the parks, Dorval Day Camp, and Adventure Quest Camp).
The objective is to allow all children and adolescents to have a pleasant, positive, and fun experience in a safe environment.
People with special needs who wish to participate and take part in the programming must have the prerequisite age for the activity in question. The City of Dorval and parents (or guardians) must agree on the necessary accommodations to promote the optimal integration of young people.
To benefit from the support program, young people with special needs must have the interest and the ability to participate in most of the group's regular activities with the support of a companion.
The parent or guardian must submit a request for support services to the City of Dorval via the Leisure and Culture Department and using the form provided for this purpose.
The City of Dorval will consult, if necessary, youth workers or other partners with expertise in different client profiles and will analyze the needs and level of support required so that the young person can actively participate in our activities. Parents or guardians must authorize the City, via the form provided for this purpose, to consult the various stakeholders to properly equip the companion so that they can intervene according to the person’s needs.
At the end of each program, an integration report will be prepared, including several important information on the needs of each young person and the interventions that have been put in place, as well as accommodation recommendations.
People who are studying special education technology, psychoeducation, social work, teaching, school adjustment, or in a related field and wish to apply for a job as an instructor in the City of Dorval's support program must submit their application. In order to recruit the best candidates, the hiring process of the staffing service is rigorous. The accompaniment service depends on the number of places available for children needing a companion, and depends on the staff available, as the City is also affected by the current labour shortage.
Before the activities begin, a meeting will be organized between the companion, the parent, and the person needing a companion, in order to introduce themselves and benefit from a first contact before the start of the activities.
Parents and guardians must make a request using the form.
The City of Dorval will analyze, in cooperation with the parents and various stakeholders, the needs and twinning possibilities in terms of the support required for the young person so that they can actively participate in activities with the aim of successful integration.
A big thank you for your cooperation in providing a summer filled with happiness and a successful integration experience for the participants!
