The Township is excited to share that hot dogs and pizza will be included in the fee this year. Hot dogs will be provided on Wednesdays, and pizza will be provided on Fridays. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let the Site Leaders know and indicate it on your parent package. Additionally we recommend, that campers continue to bring healthy snacks and drinks for nutrition break on these days.
Campers that require additional support so that they can be fully included and supported at our camp program, are welcome to bring a volunteer or family member, 16 years of age or older, to join them and support in this capacity. Additionally, our camp works with the Canadian Mental Health Association Waterloo Wellington - Supporting Kids in Camp (SKIC) Program.
Supporting Kids in Camp (SKIC)
Supporting Kids in Camp (SKIC) provides children who have special needs with trained and experienced one-to-one workers, called Support Counsellors, so that they may attend specialized and/or integrated community camps. There is no cost to families for this service!
