Forest Cliff FAQs

Our staff are trained to provide activities safely. We have specialized staff where required, including NLS Certified Lifeguards and Level 2 High Ropes Course Instructors on-site. Staff operating the Challenge Course have site-specific training provided by Adventure Works. Staff operating inflatables have amusement device-specific TSSA regulated training. 

Our staff are equipped to adapt activities to meet the needs of all students to provide opportunities of meaningful participation. If a student requires 1:1 support at school, a school chaperone must attend FCC to provide 1:1 support for that student. 

TUCK is Totally Unnecessary Candy for Kids! For school trips, TUCK is made available for cash purchase at a reasonable price for kids each afternoon. A TUCK and FCC Merch menu will be sent out ahead of your trip so that students can prepare to bring cash. 

Bussing is the responsibility of the school. Please confirm your bussing early. 

All allergies and dietary restrictions must be indicated on the form submitted 2 weeks prior to your trip. An additional fee of $20/person will be applied for gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegetarian restrictions. We cannot guarantee last minute accommodations. For serious allergies/restrictions other than the ones listed, please contact us in advance to discuss options with our Food Service team.

There may be other groups on-site during your trip, depending on the numbers of each group. Each group will follow their own schedule, only overlapping during mealtimes and sometimes campfire programs. 

While there will be FCC staff trained in first aid on property, administering first aid and/or medications during a school field trip is the responsibility of the chaperones. FCC team leaders carry 2-way radios and have a detailed knowledge of our emergency procedures. We will communicate any first aid and/or medication needs immediately to chaperones. Our property is located 30 minutes from the Bluewater Health Sarnia Hospital and 39 minutes from the Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital. We are 10 minutes from the town of Forest, which has all major services including a pharmacy and EMS station. 

One chaperone and one FCC cabin leader will be assigned to each activity group for daytime supervision and to travel with students around camp as they participate in programming. Chaperones will supervise all students for a half hour each morning while FCC leaders attend a staff meeting. Chaperones are responsible for behaviour management and administering any first aid and/or medication.

Chaperones are provided with separate accommodations from students. All sleeping accommodations are camp style rooms with single bunk beds. You will need to bring your own bedding. You may need to share a room with another chaperone from your group.
