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!
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.
Our kitchen is familiar with special diets and food allergies. Please provide details in the medical form to make proper arrangements for your child. At Overnight Camp, an additional charge will apply for vegetarian options, dairy free, egg free and gluten free (max 1 fee per session). Everything we serve is peanut/nut safe. We ask that no peanut or tree nut products be brought to camp or consumed on the property.
We offer Junior Camp sessions from Sunday to Tuesday, and Wednesday to Friday. Our Sunday check-in begins at 4pm, with a 4pm check-out on Tuesday. Our Wednesday check-in begins at 2pm, with a 4pm check-out on Friday.
Overnight camper T-shirts (Kids Camps, Junior Camps & Jr High Camps) can be purchased at registration and campers will receive their shirts at the end of their camp session!
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. To email your camper, use mail@forestcliff.ca and put your camper’s name and cabin number (provided at check-in) in the subject line. Email received by 11:00 AM is printed and delivered at lunch.
You will have an opportunity to look through the lost & found when picking up your camper. Unlabeled lost & found items will be donated to charity throughout the summer. It is helpful if you use identification tags and make sure you label your campers belongings. When a labeled item is left behind, parents can contact us to arrange pick up.
For an update on how your camper is doing, you may contact our Overnight Camp office (office@forestcliff.ca or 519-913-2744 x101).
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.
