Planning for Camp

A little preparation makes the first days more comfortable.
Use this page as the main reference for daily supplies, arrival and pickup, overnight packing and the things Campers should leave at home.
Arrival & Pickup
Morning drop-off | 8:00–8:20 a.m.
Families may use the roundabout for a quick drop-off, where a Counsellor will greet Campers and help them find their group. Families who would like to walk in should park in the large lot off St. George Boulevard. Please don't park in the roundabout.
Afternoon pickup | 4:15–4:30 p.m.
Closing finishes at 4:15 p.m. Families should park in the large lot, walk in and sign their Camper out from their group. If someone different will be picking up, make sure the Camp Office has the correct information.

Health & Safety
How We Prepare
Camper health and safety guide our planning, staff training and daily routines.
​

✓ Daily health checks and wellness monitoring
✓ Water safety and swimming supervision
(certified lifeguards at Centennial Pool)
✓ Activity-specific safety training
✓ Emergency procedures and protocols
✓ Allergy and dietary accommodation
✓ Wellness support
​
Knowing your Camper matters (even before they arrive)
The information you provide during registration helps us prepare for your Camper before their week begins. That includes things like allergies, dietary needs, medications, support needs and other information that may affect their experience at Camp.
​
If something changes after registration, or there is something new you think would help their Counsellors understand or support them, please let the Camp Office know before their week begins.
​
If it might help us understand your Camper better, it’s worth sharing.

We take care of the rest
Transportation, meals while away, accommodations and program equipment are included.
​
Bucc Out, Moxy and Voyageurs Campers need to bring a packed lunch for the first day of the out-trip. Please don't send additional food or snacks; Camp provides food while the group is away.
​
Full Sleep-Away Camp
Centennial Landing is a separate five-day, four-night sleep-away program. Its packing list, arrival information, dates, fees and FAQs are maintained on the Centennial Landing website so families always have one current source.
​​​​
Coming with a friend?
Campers don't need to arrive knowing anyone. Their Counsellors spend the week deliberately bringing the group together through the things they do and experience together.
​
Families who would like to request a friend in the same group may make one cabin-mate request during registration. Requests must be reciprocal, and both Campers must be registered in the same age group and week. We'll do our best to accommodate requests, but placements cannot be guaranteed.
