My child has not played many sports before, is AU camp the right fit? Certainly! At Algoma University Summer Camp, we welcome children of all skill levels, including those who haven't played many sports before. Our camp is built on inclusivity, with campers grouped by age and skill level to ensure personalized attention. Coaches are flexible in their approach, adapting activities to meet the needs of each group. They're also trained to adjust their teaching styles accordingly. Additionally, our March Break and PD Days Camps focus on campers pursuing experiential learning opportunities, building community, and engaging in critical and creative thinking while also incorporating physical activity every day,
Is there early drop off or late pick up available? Yes, both are available. This will be communicated to all registrants before the camp's start date. Early drop-off between 8:00 AM - 9 AM and pick-up between 4 – 4:30 PM. Extended care begins at 4:30 PM ($25).
Can my child bring electronics and toys to camp? While we discourage bringing electronics and toys to camp, we understand that some families may choose to allow their children to do so. Please note that the camp is not responsible for any lost, stolen, or damaged items. Unauthorized use of electronics (including cell phones) or disruptive use of toys during camp hours will result in the item being held by staff until the end of the day.
What if my child requires medication while at camp? The Camp Director can administer medications if required. Parents must fill out the emailed form, detailing dosage and administration times. Emergency medications (e.g., Epi-pen, inhaler) will be carried by the counselor in their emergency fanny pack.
I have a discount/free camp/etc from a previous year, how do I use it? Just reach out to Camp Director/Joël Mukendi (thunderbirdscamp@algomau.ca) and he will provide information on this.
What if my child becomes homesick at camp? If your child becomes homesick, staff will exhaust every effort to encourage participation and provide accommodations. Parents will be notified of the camper’s progress.
Where can I find lost items? Lost and found items are kept at the camp location. Contact the Camp Director to arrange pick-up. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of the summer.
Where can I discuss my concerns about camp? Please contact Joël Mukendi, the Camp Coordinator, with any concerns. You can also speak to the Camp Director on-site. Sharing your concerns allows us to address issues and improve the camp experience.
