Rainy Days and Alternative Programs
On very rainy or hot days outside programs will proceed to indoor facilities where the children will participate in related program activities. Indoor programming will only take place when the children’s safety is a concern.
Snacks and Lunches
We provide two snacks and one hot lunch daily for your child. All meals are kid friendly and follow the Canadian Food Guide. A typical morning snack consists of fruit, yogurt, water and juice. Lunches may be grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburgers or hot-dogs, pancakes, chicken nuggets, etc. All lunches are served with milk, fruit or veggies, and a cookie or Jell-O for dessert. Afternoon snack is a fun snack consisting of freezies or popcorn, fruit, and juice. If you have any questions about meals please feel free to call our cafeteria manager Debbie here at the Highlands (705) 444 5017.
Please Note
If a medical condition exists, we encourage you to outfit your child with a medic alert bracelet or necklace.
Life Threatening Allergies
If your child has an anaphylaxis allergy, please send them to camp with two epipens.
Nut Sensitivity
With the increasing number of children with nut allergies, we do our best to create a nut free environment. When sending extra snacks please check the ingredients. Please also note that we cannot guarantee a 100% nut free zone.
