Town summer camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Drop off is between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. Pick up is between 4 p.m. and 4:45 p.m. 

If you arrive late for pickup, you will be charged $1 per minute per child for each minute you are late.

Partner camps do not have extended drop-off and pickup times. 

For the safety of all campers, government-issued photo identification will be required at sign-out daily.

Please ensure the individual(s) picking up your camper are on the authorized pick-up list, as their government-issued photo identification will be cross-referenced with the authorized pick-ups provided. If the individual who comes to pick up your camper is not on the approved pick-up list or does not have government-issued photo identification, your camper will NOT be released to them.

If you are running late or know your camper will be absent, please advise your Camp Site Supervisor or Camp Coordinator.

Campers spend a lot of time outdoors, so please send your child with a hat, refillable water bottle, and sunscreen. Clearly label your camper's items to help us identify lost or forgotten items. 

Make sure to document all medical concerns or special care requirements on the Camper Release Form. If your child requires medication (e.g., use of an asthma inhaler or Epinephrine), additional medical forms are required to be completed by the first day of camp.

Camp staff strive to maintain an atmosphere of mutual caring, respect, and understanding throughout the camp day. Proper participation and conduct by your child is expected and includes the following rules:

• Always stay with the camp group
• Respect others' feelings and property
• Cooperate with each other
• Lister to group elders
• No physical contact
• Use appropriate language

How behaviour is handled

We will manage behaviour or actions that negatively impact participants or staff in the following way:

• Step one: Staff will address behaviour immediately and remind the participant of program guidelines and expectations. Staff will notify parents/caregivers at the end of the day. Details of the situation and communication with parents/caregivers will be documented.
• Step two: If inappropriate behaviour continues, staff will address this immediately with the participant. The Camp Site Supervisor will call the parent/caregiver to tell them that the participant must go home for the day. The participant is welcome to return the next day. Details of the situation will be documented on an Observation Report and an Injury/Incident Report.
• Step three: If behaviour continues after the first two steps, the Camp Coordinator will be consulted, and the participant may be removed from the program. Details of the situation will be documented on an Observation Report and an Injury/Incident Report. A formal report or meeting may be completed.

Staff may exercise flexibility with each step, both in leniency and severity, depending on the behaviour involved. The final decision will be made by the Recreation Coordinator in consultation with staff and communicated to parents/caregivers.

Examples of behaviours

Some examples of behaviours that will result in action:

• Endangering the health and safety of other participants and/or staff
• Leaving the program without permission
• Inappropriate language, name-calling or disruptive behaviour
• Intimidation with words, gestures or body language towards other participants or staff

We carefully select our camp staff based on their past experience, skills, enthusiasm and the ability to work with children. All camp staff have certificates in:

• Standard First Aid and CPR
• HIGH FIVE Principles of Healthy Child Development
• Emergency procedures and safety
• Program planning
