Daily Schedule
A typical day consists of 2 to 4 experiments and activities. There are two 15-minute breaks (morning and afternoon) and one 1-hour lunch for students to use the washrooms, have a snack, and enable camp staff to implement camp room cleaning procedures.
Lunch is not provided and will be held indoors. We recommend using ice packs for your child's lunch, as we do not have the facilities to refrigerate lunches.
Allergies are an increasing concern, particularly nut allergies. We do implement a nut-safe lunch policy for the safety of our campers. We ask that you pack nut-free lunches for all campers.
