What Should I Bring to Camp?

What to Bring (and What Not to Bring)

It is important that all campers come prepared for a full day of great activities and fun. Please be sure your camper has the following items every day:

• Lunch and snacks are provided by parents/guardians, STEM Camp does not provide food to campers. There is one lunch period and 2 snack breaks, where children will have an opportunity to eat, refresh and play games. We encourage parents to pack nut free lunches and snacks (we are a nut aware camp, not a nut free camp, unless the site is nut free which can be found on the site location page on our website). Be sure to read the section on allergies and restrictions later in this document. There is absolutely no sharing of food allowed at STEM Camp. (Please send reusable containers as garbage items will be sent home with your camper)

• Water bottle

• Facial covering (if required by public health)

• Pencil case containing basic school supplies (pencils, erasers, scissors, markers and/or pencil

  crayons)

• Weather appropriate, comfortable clothing (packing a change of clothing is also advisable)

• Closed toe and heel shoes must be worn to comply with camp safety rules (preferably running

  shoes)

• Sunscreen

• Bug spray

• Hat and sunglasses

• Any doctor prescribed medications (STEM Camp staff will not administer medications except

  in the case of a life-threatening situation such as administering an EpiPen which is provided by the parent)

  Please do not bring toys to STEM Camp and please leave all electronic devices (including cellphones) at home. If you need to contact your child, call our Support team (519-475-6600) and we will contact the camp to relay messages or plan for your child to call you if it is urgent.
