Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What does my child need to bring?
    We provide the programming supplies - sports equipment & craft supplies. Kids will need to bring snacks & lunch, a water bottle, sun screen, towel, running shoes and an extra pair of shorts and t-shirts in case of any accidents. Please note: we can’t apply sunscreen on a child. Your child will need to be able to do so themselves, so we recommend a simple spray.

  2. Do I need to stay at the camp with my child?
    No, you don’t need to stay at the camp. Please drop off and pick up on time. Late pickups will results in a charge of $15 for every 15 minutes late. You will also need to provide a list of approved guardians who can pickup your kids.

  3. Can I stay and watch my child play?
    Yes, you are welcome to stay for a bit in the morning or come early at the end to watch your child!

  4. What payment plans are available?
    Given the limited spaces, you will need to pay the full amount upon registration.

  5. My family can’t afford this, do you have any free options?
    Yes!! We run free weekly camps all summer. However, these are only 100 spaces per week & they are reserved for kids enrolled in our Free to Play program. If your child is not in Free to Play, you can apply for funding through Kidsport and Jumpstart to attend this Start to Play camp.
