What should my child bring to camp?

Dress for a mess! We are sure to get messy so make sure to not wear anything that is special.
Please pack a water bottle, 2-4 snacks and a lunch you know your child will eat! We have had some kiddos that don’t want their lunch and end up hungry! We usually do not provide any snacks!
We do have some nut allergies so please pack items that are NUT Free.
Please, please label your child's belongings with their name. You would be surprised how many items we have at the end of a camp week with no names on them.
Have your child wear clothing and footwear that is appropriate for the predicted weather conditions each day! We spend time outside & in our wooded area so sunscreen & bug spray are needed. It is also helpful if your child arrives with sunscreen on! We have both available at Fiddlehead. If your family has special needs in this area please let a staff member know!
If your child has an IEP that requires a one on one aide during the school year it is likely we will require an aide when they attend summer camp. FMI please reach out to Oona at oona@fiddleheadscarborough.org.

Is there anything else we need to know?

Below are the Fiddlehead community guidelines for behavior - they were created by students in our after school leadership program, please take a moment to discuss with your child prior to the start of camp. We will reach out if your child is having difficulty following these guidelines!

Be Responsible: Take care of the space and each other
Be Respectful: Listen to others, pay attention! Clear food and water from tables during projects
Be Kind: Use polite manners, encourage and include others, treat others the way you wish to be treated
Be Safe: Use gentle hands, follow outside play rules, respect personal space and boundaries, no weapons play
Be Clean: Clean up after projects; snack and lunch; wash hands often & after eating; please keep our bathrooms clean
Try out new things & Have Fun!

We love creating and designing camps that fully integrate our STEAM approach to learning. Campers will enjoy a good balance of unstructured and structured learning. We look forward to a happy and safe summer season!
