What TO bring to Camp:

Come to camp wearing weather appropriate clothing and CLOSED TOE SHOES. This is very important as they will be on different outdoor surfaces throughout the day (gravel, wooded areas, sand, grass, dirt) while having LOTS of FUN!!

Daily your camper will want to bring the below items clearly labeled with their full name.

• Re-usable Waterbottle
• Hat 
• Swim suit & towel
• Dry bag or storage bag for wet swimsuits/towels
• Sunscreen / Bug spray
• Flip flops or crocks for getting to the water

What NOT to bring to Camp:

Food/Snacks

We ask that you do not pack any food or snacks for your camper. We have many campers on site with various allergies and sensitives so it's important we know what foods are on-site.  

Cell Phones/Electronic Devices

Electronic devices are NOT PERMITTED at camp, except for medical reasons (i.e. for diabetes monitoring, etc.)

Please note this policy applies to all devices. We want all campers to be present and undistracted so they can have an amazinig time at Camp Muskoka.

Any devices found will be confiscated, stored in the main office, and returned at the end of the day. Camp Muskoka cannot accept any responsibility for lost or stolen electronic devices. 

Valuables

Camp is a fast paced environment, not a great place for highly prized/sentimental objects. 

We encourage campers leave these items at home. Items such as clothing, jewlery, and any items that hold high sentimental value to your camper.

Camp Muskoka is a “Nut Safe” environment and adheres to a strict Anaphylaxis Prevention Policy. We acknowledge that many of our guests come to us with a variety of life threatening and non-life threatening food allergies. For this reason, Camp Muskoka has been a member of Anaphylaxis Canada for many years and has implemented mandatory on-site training of all food service staff with a specific focus on safe food handling, the prevention of cross contamination, knowledge of allergens and their derivative forms to ensure a safe eating environment for all our guests. 

There is an opportunity to indicate any allergies or special dietary needs on the online registration form. Should our Executive Chef have any concerns regarding your camper’s needs, you will be contacted prior to your campers arrival.

All Camp Muskoka staff have their first aid certification. We also have doctors and nurses on site to provide emergency medical care should the need arise.

Should your camper require a puffer or epi-pen, please send it with them in a secure caring case clearly labeled with their name.

If your camper requires any day time medications, please give them to the Camp Muskoka Day Camp Director before you child boards the bus. All medications must be in their original packaging in a zip lock bag clearly labeled with their full name.

In the event of inclement weather, camp will continue. We will move into an indoor space and programming will be adapted to indoor friendly activities (eg. table top games, arts, crafts, ect.)

The safety and well-being of our campers and staff is our number one priority. Prevention is our first defense which is why all staff undergo a thorough screening process, including a reference and police record check, onsite health and safety education, a full week of pre-camp instruction, and ongoing training and review throughout the summer. All staff have their current First Aid and C.P.R. certificates as well as other certifications relative to their specific disciplines, such as lifeguards. We are a talented, passionate group, with a wide range of skills and specialties. 

Day Campers are on-site from Monday - Friday between 9am - 4pm.  Day Campers will have their own spaces, staff and activites for the vast majority of their program.

However, there may be camp wide activities or programming where day and overnight campers may interact with each other.

We welcome Overnight Campers who stay from 1 - 8 weeks with us from Sunday - Saturday. Overnight campers stay in Cabins by gender and are supported by overnight camp staff.  For more information on our Camp Muskoka Overnight Summer Camps visit:
