Forest Cliff wants campers with complex needs to be able to attend and have a great experience at Overnight Camp. Our support program pairs your camper with a 1:1 cabin leader who will provide support for the week. While your child is at camp, we make sure every camper is given individual attention and is integrated into the experience. Through our integrative programming we strive to meet the needs of campers, whether it’s physical, behavioral, dietary or medical. Our support coordinator will determine if Forest Cliff is able to create an amazing integrated experience for your camper. They will conduct an intake meeting so that your camper’s cabin leader is well prepared to help create the best camp experience for them. If your child receives 1:1 support at school (ie. EA, Support Worker, Respite Worker, etc) or if you believe that the assistance of a 1:1 support cabin leader would enable your child to best experience Overnight Camp, please contact support@forestcliff.ca.

Camper mail can be left at the check-in table for delivery throughout the week. Include notes or small gifts and pre-packaged food if you’d like, provided it is peanut/nut safe. Please write your camper’s first and last name on the package, and indicate which day you would like them to receive it.

Meals are served buffet style and within the meal there are a handful of different options for your camper. Our kitchen is familiar with special diets and food allergies and are happy to accommodate any additional needs. Making sure campers are eating enough and eating a variety of nutritious meals is one of our top priorities! We strive for diversity within the meals so even if the main dish isn’t something they enjoy there are other sides and alternatives (cereals, breads, fruits, and veggies) on hand.
Parents picking up their camper outside of the regular scheduled pick-up time must report directly to the camp office with photo ID. Notifying us in advance helps us to have your camper ready! If it is outside the office hours of 8am to 8pm you will need to make prior arrangements. On Friday, campers will be busy in programming until 3:30 PM.
