Families may add individuals to the list at any time by contacting the Summer Camp Coordinator, summercamp@meaford.ca.

Parents, guardians and caregivers must show photo I.D. when picking up their camper daily to ensure campers are released to the appropriate caregiver. 

All summer camps are strictly nut-free programs. We ask that all staff and participants refrain from bringing peanuts and other nut products into camp. 

While we discourage participants and staff from brining peanut and nut products to programs, campers and their families must be aware that our facilities are not peanut and nut-free. Items in our concessions, kitchens, vending machines, etc. may contain peanut and nut products. 

All campers must be signed in and out of camp daily by their parent, guardian or authorized caregiver. 

If your camper is over the age of 10 they may sign themselves in and out of camp. This should be indicated at the time of registration. 

Should you preference change please notify camp staff in writing at summercamp@meaford.ca.

Some camp activities involve food. Parents of campers with food allergies will be notified prior to the start of camp to ensure activities are safe for their child. Additionally, all special treats given to campers by camp staff (i.e. popsicles) are all purchased from nut-free facilities. 

Pictures and videos are taken daily at all camps. Photos and videos are used for the promotion of programs on municipal and partner social media platforms, website and print promotions. 

At the time of registration, please indicate if you do not want your child's photo used in any publications. 

We ask that campers leave their electronic devices at home for the duration of camp, unless other wise specified by their camp. 

The Municipality of Meaford and it's partners are not responsible for lost of stolen items. 

Nearly all camps run rain or shine!

In the event of inclement weather i.e., an expected storm camp participants will be notified by email via PerfectMind of any location changes.
