Ottawa — Summer & School Year 2026
Engaging, educational outings for homeschooling families in Ottawa. We find the hidden gems, plan the adventure, and explore together — children and parents alike.
Join Mailing ListWhat We Do
Ember Outings brings homeschooling families together for engaging, educational field trips throughout Ottawa and beyond. These are family-style adventures — parents come along, and children discover the world with their peers. Unlike our microschool program which requires families to commit to a full term of workshops, Ember Outings offers one-time events and activities that participants register for individually.
Each outing is chosen to complement home learning: local history, science, arts, and the unexpected stories that make Ottawa a fascinating place to grow up in.
Upcoming Adventure
Thursday, July 23rd — Chelsea, QC
Solve puzzles and decipher hidden clues across the heritage grounds of the Mackenzie King Estate in this self-guided outdoor escape game. A fun, free activity for families with children 9+.
Register by Monday, July 20th. Ember families get first priority — registration opens to the wider community on Wednesday, July 15th.
Past Adventure
Friday, June 12th, 2026 — Gloucester, ON
