**Summer Camp Lunches & Snacks

Children are required to bring their lunches to camp with them each day between Monday and Thursday. Lunches will be offered on Fridays and one snack will be provided daily (Monday to Friday), both of these will be included in the base registration fee. We still encourage parents/guardians to pack a 2nd snack or more for the day, and food alternatives in case of disinterest in the provided option.


When your child is bringing their own lunch and/or snacks, all items (Lunch pail, containers etc.) must be labelled with the child’s first AND last name and must be peanut/tree nut free. If there are additional allergens to consider during a particular week, you will be alerted ahead of time by your coordinator in Weekly Welcome E-mail.

Allergies/Medical Conditions/Behavioral Supports
If you have indicated on your registration form that your child; has an allergy/ dietary restriction, a medical condition/needs, requires medication during the hours of program, or has a physical/behavioral diagnoses or condition, please visit the “Forms” tab on our website (www.bgcsoutheast.ca) and complete the applicable form. The completed form should then be submitted to the camp location where your child is registered. (Contact info listed on the website Summer Camp page). Failure to provide the required information/form can result in loss of space/your child being unable to attend the program/camp.

Inclusion/Behaviour Support
If your child requires 1:1 support in a camp setting, Parents/Guardians are required to reach out to the Program Inclusion and Behavioral Support Team (inclusion@bgcoutheast.ca) PRIOR to registering to inquire if there are support services available for your preferred location/week(s).

Although we may be able to offer some support services for children who require 1:1 support, please note, we have a very limited capacity to support new children to our support roster this summer, depending on the week and/or location required/requested.
