Is your child ready for camp? |
|
To support your child's enjoyment and safety at camp, as well as the enjoyment and safety of the other campers, it is important to ensure your child is "camp ready." To help determine this, we have put together a checklist as guidance.
Please remember that campers must be 5 years of age by the end of the calendar year to register for summer camps. Participants who are attending a program and not demonstrating that they are ‘camp ready’ may be withdrawn from the camp at the sole discretion of the Supervisor of Recreation Programming. |

Rules and expectations |
|
Our goal is to keep every child safe and to ensure that they have an enjoyable camp experience. While at camp, it is expected that campers will act in an appropriate manner at all times. To aid in this positive behaviour we have outlined four camp rules that must be followed.
Zero Tolerance Policy:There will be no hitting, kicking, shoving, spitting, stealing, or damage of another person or their property while at camp. If this occurs, parents will be contacted immediately and the child will not be welcomed back at camp after their first incident at the parents expense. No refunds will be issued. |
Youth Volunteer Leadership Program
Youth volunteers play an important role in ensuring the success of our day camps. Volunteers support camp leaders with playing games, helping with crafts and instructing activities during camp. They are given the opportunity to create an activity plan and lead one activity during the week with the assistance of the camp leaders. This is also a great way for high school students to get their mandatory community service hours completed during one week of camp.
Applications close Thursday, June 1, 2023 at 4:30 p.m.
