At Forest Cliff, we want all children to feel like they belong and so we strive to ensure every camper is given individual attention and is included in our experiences. At Day Camp, we do not provide 1:1 support but rather collaborate with families in order to provide a successful day camp experience for both camper and their existing support worker. If your child has complex needs and has 1:1 support at school (ie. EA, Support Worker, Respite Worker, etc) or you believe the assistance of your existing 1:1 support worker would enable your child to best experience Day Camp, please email support@forestcliff.ca!
Parents/guardians are not required to sign out their ACTor at the end of the day.
ACT is a junior high camp experience (for campers who have completed grades 6-8) where your child will participate in team building & leadership training, in addition to ALL the fun of our Day Camp activities!
It’s helpful if you contact the Day Camp admin by phone or email to inform us if your camper will be absent. If we do not receive notice of your camper’s absence, we will reach out to check in.
If possible, please let us know in advance that your camper needs to leave early. Contact the Day Camp admin by email (daycamps@forestcliff.ca) or phone (519-913-2744). Upon arrival, check in with the Day Camp office to sign out your child.
Our Day Camp programs are on the property of the church we are partnering with. So everything is onsite, right where the parent / guardian checks in their camper(s).
Yes! Each year we work hard to put together an awesome program for our Day Campers, and it is the same program for each of our Day Camp locations. We have many campers that attend multiple weeks.
