About Our Camps/Playground Programs
Your child's safety and enjoyment are our top priority. Here is how we make it happen:
STAFF:
Our staff have demonstrated leadership skills and experience working with children. We carefully select the best applicants based on their creativity, enthusiam and experience.
Our staff are certified in First Aid and, where required, National Lifeguard Services (NLS). Our extensive pre-camp training includes child management and development, program planning, risk management, and hands on programming sessions.
SUPERVISION:
All camps have a supervisor/senior leader on site. They are responsible for on-site supervision of staff, participants and programming. Our staff-to-participant ratio is one leader to 10 participants. Our leaders-in-training and volunteers further reduce these numbers.
AGE REQUIREMENTS:
Campers must be the required age by the last day of the program.
EXTENDED HOURS:
This service is available at specified locations from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The cost is $28 for one-week sessions, $22.75 for four-day sessions.
BUS SERVICE:
Busing is included in your program fees at Grass Creek Camp (East Kingston). Camp staff ride on the bus with your children. There is no bus service for Camp Cataraqui.
HOLIDAYS:
Camps do not operate on statutory holidays (Aug. 1).
SWIMMING:
Where swimming opportunities are available, certified NLS Lifeguards supervise your children.
LUNCHES & SNACKS:
Lunches are supervised at full-day programs. Please ensure your child has morning and afternoon snacks, lunch and drinks. No peanut products. We encourage campers to pack litter less lunches. Reusable containers help reduce the impact on the environment.
PEANUT ALLERGIES!
With a growing number of participants and staff with severe peanut allergies, we are asking that NO peanuts or peanut products be brought to camp in lunches or snacks.
