If I have a child who does not live primarily with me but want to claim a day camp as child care for that child, how do I do that?

The child stays with me for a total if 4 weeks in the summer which I put them in a camp for a week

Unfortunately, as per the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) you may not be eligible to claim for this expense.

Child care expenses are amounts you or another person paid to have someone else look after an eligible child so you could earn income, go to school, or carry on research under a grant.

If eligible, you can claim certain child care expenses as a deduction on your personal income tax return.
