Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to Riverside Fun Camp! We have many exciting things planned for your little
ones, including literacy, drama, sports, games, crafts, and dance! All of our supervisors
and counsellors are trained in CPR and First Aid. We change our activities every 45 minutes
so it is impossible for your child to get bored! Our cost is $15 per day per child.
Our rotations start at 9AM.
Reminders
- Please bring a healthy lunch with two snacks and a water bottle.
- Please do not bring any nut or peanut products. They will be thrown away. We have
some campers with severe allergies and our location is a nut-free school.
- Please bring proper footwear for your child (sneakers). Flip-flops are very dangerous
because we are very active during the day.
- Please ensure your child is dresssed for summer weather: shorts, t-shirt, and a hat.
- Please ensure you put sunscreen on your child before you bringing them to camp. We
spend a great deal of time outside.
- Wednesday is WATER DAY! We spend the last part of the afternoon getting wet so please
bring: sunscreen, a towel, a bathing suit, and a seperate pair of shoes!
- If your child is six and under, we require that you always bring an extra pair of clothes
in case of bathroom accidents.
Discipline
Our discipline policy is for the safety of our campers. If your child refuses to listen
or participate, they will have to be sent home. We have a three-strike policy and you
will be notified if there is a problem.
Sign In/Sign Out
We take the safety of our campers very seriously. You must sign your child in and out everyday.
We do not allow parents in the gym. We will be happy to bring your child out to the
front desk. If someone else must pick up your child, we require written consent and
whoever is picking them up must show photo ID.
Groups
For safety reasons, all campers are split into groups according to the ages for rotations.
For full camp activities and lunch, the whole camp will be together.
Questions/Concerns
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Lisa MacKinnon or
Brittany Turner at (519) 974-3415.
Thank you,
Fun Camp Staff.
