Physical materials may be required for camps. A materials list and/or material kit pick-up instructions will be provided to registrants prior to the start of camp.
Parents/guardians are responsible for supervision of their child(ren).
Support needs will vary by child. We anticipate younger campers may require more support.
Some adult support (or older sibling) will be needed to start the daily session for younger campers. Counsellors will then provide the support during the camp activities.
Support may be required by parents/guardians or older children for:
- initial computer and program launch;
- internet connectivity; and/or
- technical issues not related to Google Meet or camp-related software.
