Camps

Attendance is taken each day as children arrive and leave. A parent or guardian is required to sign in each child at the designated camp location at 9 a.m. Children must be picked up by an authorized Parent/Guardian at 4:30 p.m. Please notify camp staff if you need to pick up your child earlier.

Please notify camp staff if your child will not be attending the program. If your child is absent or late and we have not been notified, staff will attempt to contact the parent or guardian. If you need to report a late drop-off, early pick-up or absent child, please email daycamps@clarington.net.

Extended Care

Extended Care is available for an additional fee at select camp locations. Participants must register in advance. Extended Care hours are 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Each day pack a nut-free lunch, snacks, drinks, reusable water bottle, sunscreen, hat (or appropriate outdoor weather clothing), running shoes and a change of clothes. Please ensure that all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Please leave toys, electronic devices and valuables at home. Camp facilities and staff are not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Clarington Camps have implemented a boomerang lunch program (all uneaten food and waste returns home). A Clarington waste-free lunch contains no throwaway packaging. Food and drinks are packed in reusable containers within a reusable lunch bag or box. All containers are re-sealable so that leftover food and drink can be consumed (or composted) later at home. 

Parents must complete the Camper Information Form online before the first day of camp. Please note, business hours for receiving forms are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. If you submit a form the weekend before camp starts, we will not receive it in time.

Please select the correct form based on when your child is attending camp.
