Ottawa — What are you up to this summer? From June 26 to August 30, Ottawa Public Library (OPL) is excited to offer a wide range of free literacy and learning activities for teens—both online and in branches. It’s a perfect opportunity to explore new interests, gain valuable skills, and connect with new friends during the summer break!

This year, OPL is expanding its teen programming with a greater focus on life skills development, helping teens build confidence and practical knowledge through fun, hands-on experiences.

Teen Staycation is all about creating enjoyable and enriching moments for teens and their families all summer long. Not heading out of town? Teens aged 13 to 18 can take part in a variety of engaging activities like arts and crafts, writing and reading circles, wellness sessions, cooking and baking workshops, sewing, music and dance, games, and so much more!

Teen Staycation is the ultimate way for teens to have fun, keep learning, and build skills that will benefit them for years to come.

Registration is now open! Teens can now browse through the Teen Staycation programs and sign up for the ones that spark their interest.
