Going to be Absent from Camp? 

Please Report all absences by 8:00 am. If your child is ill or unable to attend camp, please call the appropriate camp voicemail: 
1) Camp Conestogo at 519-222-3853  (Camp Conestogo Coordinators) 
2) At the Y Camp  at 519-824-5150 ext. 270 (At the Y Camp Coordinators) 

Instructions: Please leave the date you are calling, along with your  child’s first  and last name and the reason for their absence. We ask that you  DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO CAMP WHEN THEY ARE NOT WELL . If your child is not able to fully participate in the program due to health reasons (ie. Fever, diarrhea, stomach ache, head ache) please do not send them to camp. If you suspect or know your child has a contagious condition, please consult your doctor before sending your child to camp.

Other messages that you need to get to the camp coordinator can be left through these same phone numbers (early pick up, running late, etc). All Voicemails will be checked daily, Monday to Friday during summer camp hours for both camps offered by the Guelph Y. 

Head Lice Policy & Tick Prevention 

Head Lice Policy

If lice are suspected, a camp wide lice check will take place to check all camper’s and staff’s hair. When lice or nits are found within a camper’s hair, parents will be notified. Parents will be asked to pick up their child(ren) from program as soon as possible, in order to help control the environment and the spread of lice. Parents/guardians will be asked to treat their child’s hair and remove all nits/ lice before returning to camp. In order to return to camp, the child(ren)’s hair must be free of any nits/ lice. Additional lice checks may take place during an outbreak, to stop the spread of lice. Please work with us to create a lice free environment, by keeping your camper home from camp until treatment has been successful, and no lice/nits remain. Parents will be notified when there has been an outbreak of lice at camp within 24hours of discovery.  Click here to read The Head Lice - What You Need to Know Brochure from Region of Waterloo.  

 

Tick Prevention at Outdoor Camps

The rise in ticks in Ontario this summer is a very serious issue that our staff has not only taken notice of but also has put in place practices during camp to ensure that children attending are safe. Prior to camp starting, all of our camp counselors received in-person training from Public Health on how to identify ticks and how to safely remove them. Our camp counsellors ensure that all campers remain on paths in any forest area that the group comes across and camp counsellors do thorough checks after being in nature with the campers. If you do spot a tick when your child has arrived home please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. We are more than willing to help in any way possible, as your child’s safety is incredibly important to us. Click here to read the 'Tick ID: Know Them, Prevent Them' Brochure from Public Health. 

Child Care Subsidy 

The County of Wellington, Children’s Early Years Division provides financial help to pay for care for children whose parents are working or attending school during the summer months.  For information about eligibility and how to apply, visit their website at: www.wellington.ca/childcare or call 519-837-3620 ext. 3090.
