Special needs

However, the university is not in a position to absorb any additional costs associated with this accommodation. Our counsellors will do their best to adapt the daily activities to the needs of the camper, where possible. If your child has any special needs, please notify the camp coordinator. This will help our camp team ensure the child has a positive camp experience. 

Please label all your child’s possessions so that we can keep track of whose items belong to who. Avoid bringing electronics like cell phones and iPods. The camp will not be held responsible for any lost or damaged items. It is the child’s responsibility to look after their own items.
