WHAT TO BRING:
We will be taking two nutrition breaks during the day to eat and spend time outdoors and playing games. Weather permitting, we would like to take the kids to visit Breithaupt Park once or twice during the week. This is a 4 minute walk from our location and features washroom facilities, a playground as well as a beautiful open field area and wooded hiking trails.
Campers should come with:
a water bottle
a nut-free lunch and snacks
a change of shoes (if it’s wet/muddy out)
appropriate clothing for the weather (dress in layers)
please wear clothing that can get stained. Some of our art activities can get messy!
Please DO NOT bring electronics (phones, tablets, gaming devices) to camp. If your child has one for emergency use it must be kept in their backpack and not used during camp time.
HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY:
Masks are no longer required, but are still encouraged as we will be working in close proximity with each other.
If your child is experiencing symptoms of any illness, please keep them home to rest. You may transfer your registration to a Camp Credit which can be used for a future camp program or in our online store.
