This list has been developed for the benefit of  your child’s health and safety, and to minimize the loss of valuables.  We are also trying to promote a culture that we believe is appropriate for a summer camp environment. Remember, it’s CAMP! Our approach is minimize the presence of items that can detract from the natural atmosphere, limiting the material elements that are best left in the city.  We also believe our approach contributes to a more positive, inclusive environment, promoting and enabling more effective communication and interaction with each other. We appreciate your help and support in this regard!

Please DO NOT send the following items to camp with your child:

• Wireless Communication Devices: including cell phones, PDAs such as Blackberries, iPhones, etc.,
• Screen Displays: including iPads, Playbooks, etc.
• Appliances: These are fire hazards!! No hot pots, kettles, toasters, mini-stoves, hair irons
• Electronics: video devices/players, televisions, stereos

Food and Water

The food at camp is excellent, and there is plenty of it! Apart from the food that may come on the bus and used on the 1st night of camp (and Visitor’s Day), food is not allowed.

Bottled water is NOT allowed in camp. It’s just not good for the environment!  Our water is purified according to the highest possible standards and tastes great!
