Prior to your camper’s first day of camp, please fill out a ‘Permission to Pick Up’ form located in your camp information package, listing and authorizing specific persons to pick up your child. Those who arrive to pick up a camper will be asked to provide a piece of photo ID matching the authorized person(s) before the camper is released from our care.

Coarse language, bullying, vandalism, physical and/or aggressive behaviour, and/or any other behaviour that is deemed inappropriate is strictly prohibited.

All camp specific program information (i.e., medical forms, permission to pick up forms, etc.) will be emailed to the email address associated with the camper’s account by the Thursday evening before the camp start date. Please ensure that your email address, emergency contacts, and camper medical and special request information is up-to-date in our system. Should you have any further questions after reading the camp information package, please contact Camp Director at camps@uxbridge.ca or 905-852-7831.

Health and Safety

All campers with a medical concern(s) are required to complete a Medical Form prior to their first day of camp. Medical Forms can be found in the camp information package, which is emailed to the address on file prior to the first day of camp. If a participant has a communicable disease or a current public health concern, we kindly ask that they not attend UxCamps during such time.

Allergies and Medical Concerns

All campers with an allergy or medical concern(s) are required to complete a Medical Form before attending their first day of camp. Once registered, this form will emailed out to the participants’ email address on file ahead of the first day camp.

If your child has an allergy that has not already been communicated to camp staff prior to the program start date, please email camps@uxbridge.ca or call 905-852-7831 stating your child’s name, camp program, and dates attending, so that the allergy can properly be communicated.

We ask that parents/guardians DO NOT pack any peanut/nut products in their camper’s lunch, due to the high volume of campers and staff with severe allergies. We thank you in advance for taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of everyone.

Medication

If your camper requires medication during camp hours, please complete the Medical Form. All medication must be in its original container and campers should only bring the prescribed dosage for the hours that they attend camp. Proper administration instructions should also be included. Medication should be given directly to Camp Supervisor upon arrival and is not to be left in the care of the camper. The Camp Supervisor will assist with medication administration.

Campers who require an Epi-Pen are required to keep it with them AT ALL TIMES (we can provide a carrying device if necessary). If you are more comfortable having the Camp Supervisor carry it in their first-aid kit, please arrange that with them upon drop off Monday morning.

In the Event of Illness

If a camper falls ill while at camp, they will be placed in a quiet room with a staff person and isolated from the rest of the camp group. The camper’s parent/guardian will be contacted to pick up their camper immediately.

Swim Tests

Each camp will have the chance to participate in an hour of free swim at least once per week. Should your child choose to participate, a swim test may be required. A deep end swim test consists of swimming the width of the Uxpool (across and back), in a front crawl, without stopping. A shallow end swim test consists of only one width of the shallow end. A swim test is required if: the camper wishes to swim in the middle or deep end, or the camper is over the age of six and wishes to swim in the shallow end without a lifejacket. The passing of the swim test is at the discretion of the lifeguards only. Campers may either be granted full access of the pool, partial access of the pool (shallow and middle end only) or may be asked to remain in the shallow end.

Please note, campers ages 6 and under are required to wear a lifejacket, as per Uxpool policy, and are not required to participate in a swim test.

Camp Inclusion

If your child requires special assistance for one of our programs, please notify the Camp Director by June 2nd, prior to registration, so that we can properly accommodate you. All 1:1 requests require an interview with the Camp Director to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of your camper. To meet the needs of as many participants as possible, families requiring 1:1 assistance can request support for up to two weeks of camp. If you have any questions regarding our 1:1 system, please contact the Camp Director at camps@uxbridge.ca or 905-852-7831.
