When to play and when to stay away
When children show signs of illness, keep them home. This greatly reduces the spread of illness at camp. Please follow medical advice if you have been told by a doctor, health care provider, or public health unit that you should currently be isolating (staying at home).
Participants should not attend camp if they have any of the following new or worsening symptoms or signs (that are not chronic or related to other known causes or conditions):
- fever or chills
- difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- cough, sore throat, trouble swallowing
- runny nose/stuffy nose or nasal congestion
- decrease or loss of smell or taste
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain; and/or
- not feeling well generally, extreme tiredness, sore muscles
A child may be sent home if coughing, sneezing, has a temperature, or any other signs of contagious illness or infection during the day. Children showing signs of illness must be picked up within one-hour. Please ensure your emergency contact can be on-site within that time frame.
Please check your child for lice before the start of camp.
Sun safety
Sunscreens should be brought daily and applied regularly. We encourage you to show your child how to apply their own sunscreen. Hats should also be worn every day.
Please label your child’s sunscreen.
EpiPens and inhalers
Any child bringing an EpiPen or inhaler to the program must bring it in a separate fanny pack/case to be worn at all times. A medical consent form must be completed upon sign in.
Be prepared! Dress for the weather and for the fun you’ll be part of. For instance, if it looks like a cloudy drizzly day, remember to pack your rain gear.
Dress for a mess. Old clothes are typically the best.
For safety, it’s also best if long hair is tied back.
Closed-toe shoes are a must. Sandals and Croc-style shoes are not suitable.
Bring a water bottle, nut free snack, a hat, and sunscreen every day.
Participants may wear a bathing suit and bring a towel to use the splash pad at the following sites:
- Heritage Way Park
- Millbank Park
- Wynten Park
