In May 2025, the University of Ottawa will once again offer its Head Start camp to over 200 students from French-language high schools in the Centre-South-West region of Ontario. During their stay, participants will live as real university students in the residences of the University of Ottawa's main campus.

This year, participants will take part in six sessions that will allow them to discover various disciplines studied at the university, participate in multidisciplinary field experiences, and plan their post-secondary studies.
