KID CAMP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs):

What is the age requirement for kid camp registration?

• Minimum Kid Camp age requirement is 6 years old. Kidtropolis Kid Camps use birth year for camp registrations. So if the child is turning 6 years old in the year that the camp will start, they can register.

What do Kid Campers need to bring to camp?

• Campers are asked to dress comfortably with casual, loose clothes appropriate for play. Please remember to wear socks as they are required for playing on our jungle gym!

• Campers should bring a bottle of water, lunch and two (2) nut free snacks for break time. Kidtropolis will have a meal option that campers can opt into for an additional fee ($). Please do not send money with your children to Kid Camp.

Is there a lost and found for items lost while attending Kid Camp?

• Yes, contact our Front Desk customer service team at 604-285-7529 and they will try to assist in locating the lost item. We recommend clearly labelling all personal items with the Kid Camper’s name so they are identifiable. Food and perishable items are disposed of daily. Any items not claimed are donated to charity regularly.

Can children attend camps if they have a disability and/or might require additional adult support?

• We welcome all age appropriate children to sign up for our camps, however due to our ratio requirements, we are not able to provide one-on-one care to an individual child. Kid Campers must be able to participate in all group activities independently. Children that have their own Behavioural Assistant (BA) are welcome to have their BA accompany them for no additional fee. We understand that some children with specific challenges or needs may not experience optimal fulfillment in our Kid Camp programs due to the program's structure and the support available. While we strive for inclusivity, we acknowledge that our current offerings may not fully accommodate all individual circumstances.

• Parents and caregivers are encouraged, ahead of registration, to enquire or discuss with staff if Kidtropolis Kid Camp would be suitable for their child.

Can children be dropped off after camp starts or picked up early before camp ends?

• Each week our camps are fully planned out with fun activities throughout the day! Please let our Kid Camp Leaders know the day before if your child will be late due to pre-planned conflicts or email info@kidtropolis.ca in the morning before Kid Camp begins. If the Kid Campers are off premise on a planned Out Trip, it will be the responsibility of the caregiver to drop their child off at the external location as Kidtropolis will not be able to provide 1:1 care for that child while the group is away.

• Without advance notice, we are not able to accommodate early pickups as it may be disruptive to Kid Campers and Leaders depending on the planned activities they are engaged in at that time. Please notify Kid Camp Leaders at morning drop-off if they have pre-planned appointments that require an early pick up.

Can a child’s lunch be dropped off at the designated lunchtime?

• We prefer that snacks and lunch are packed with the Kid Campers at the time of morning drop-off in the event the group decides to go to a nearby park for snack time or lunch or if the schedule needs to be changed and our regular lunch time is slightly moved accordingly.

What happens if my child becomes sick and/or cannot attend camp?

• There are no makeup times or credit for missed camp days. For the health and safety of everyone, if your child is feeling unwell, please keep them at home to rest and recover.

• If your child becomes sick at camp, caregivers will be contacted for pick up.
