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.
Junior Campers will participate in a rotation to enjoy fun camp activities! They get to try out high-energy camp activities like tubing and the rock wall as well as camp favorites like archery and kayaking. They will participate in camp wide games, sing songs at campfire and get lots of time at the beach.
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.
For an update on how your camper is doing, you may contact our Overnight Camp office (office@forestcliff.ca or 519-913-2744 x101).
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.
Anyone picking up a camper must be on the authorized pick-up list, and will be required to show photo ID. Ensure that the photo ID matches the way the name appears on the pick-up list. Please notify the office as soon as possible to update permissions should something arise.
We take great care when putting our cabins together and organize them by gender and grade. Mutual cabin mate requests are automatically matched up, and we are happy to accommodate additional requests whenever possible. Whether a camper comes to camp alone or with a friend they will have the opportunity to form new friendships in their cabin!
We know campers want to be with their friends, and we make every effort to accommodate them. We take great care putting our groups together, as many come without a cabin/group mate request.
In the registration form you can request one cabin mate for your child’s Overnight Camp session (same gender, similar age) and/or one group mate for your child’s Day Camp session (similar age).
Email info@forestcliff.ca f you would like to request more than one person, want siblings to be placed in different cabins/groups or would like information about filling a cabin.
We put on an open house each spring! This is a great opportunity for new and returning families to meet the staff, wander the grounds, participate in activities and enjoy dinner with other camper families. Our open house will take place on June 7, 2025, and we hope to see you there!
