  • Healthy lunch and snacks

  • Bathing suit and towel (All summer camps located at QSWC will swim daily unless stated otherwise during the registration process)

  • Sunscreen (seasonal)

  • Warm outdoor clothes (seasonal)

  • Appropriate camp play attire & indoor running shoes

  • Hat and sun glasses (seasonal)

  • Lots of smiles, energy & enthusiasm!

Camp hours

Camp hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm! All campers must be picked up on time.

During the summer time, all camps at QSWC will have the option of extra hours from 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. and/or 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. for an additional fee. This can be set up during registration time.

Sign in/out procedures

All campers must be signed in upon arrival, and signed out upon departure from camp by their parent or guardian. A child may only leave the premises without a parent or guardian if the appropriate section of the waiver was filled out with additional pick up options. Government issued ID will be checked at sign out time.

Accommodation

If your child(ren) have any accommodation requirements please notify staff two weeks prior to the start of camp. Please fill out our Accessibility Accommodation Plan so we can better learn how to support your child(ren).

Please note that we do not offer one-on-one support through the City of Belleville but support staff/volunteers provided by the family are always welcome at camp. Please fill out our Accessibility Volunteer Application if you are providing support for a camper. A current police check (valid within the last 6 months) will be require prior to the camp starting.

Recreation Fee Assistance

If you live in Belleville, you can apply for recreation subsidies and fee assistance. We have subsidies available for 25% to 75% off the cost of the program based on income. The subsidy expires on June 30 of each year.

To apply to recreation fee assistance, please fill out our online form.

Summer Camp Trips/Guests

Each week campers will go on a local trip or have a guest come to their location to present an activity. Local trips may include a City bus ride and/or walking. Camps at QSWC may also be regularly walking to St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School soccer fields or Riverside Park to play.

Allergy aware

We cannot ensure an allergen free environment. We are, however AWARE when we are notified that a child in camp has an allergy. During these weeks, we encourage parents to pack allergen-free snacks and lunches for the safety of all campers and/or share spaces as safely as possible to try and eliminate cross contamination.

High Five

The City of Belleville Community Services Department is a High Five affiliate. Our Summer Day Camp staff are trained in the Principle of Healthy Child Development and implement their knowledge through their lesson plans.

Positive space

To ensure that all campers have the opportunity to play and grow in a Positive Space, we have a zero tolerance-based system for negative camper conduct. Three behaviour reports and your camper will be removed from camp. Campers may be removed prior to three reports due to escalated behaviour concerns.

Ontario Child and Family Services Act

City of Belleville day camp staff and volunteers are legally obliged to observe the terms of the Ontario Child and Family Services Act and must report a child in need of protection.

Valuables

We ask that all valuables such as toys, electronics and sentimental items which could cause distraction or conflict amongst campers be left at home. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged belongings.

Lost and found

We will have a designated area at each camp location that will contain any lost and found items. Please check this on a regular basis to ensure everything is returned to its owner. To help make this process easier, please label your child’s clothing clearly.

We share the air

Out of respect for those who work and use the recreational facilities, please avoid the use of perfume, cologne, scented hairspray and other scented products. Your help in keeping our environment safe is appreciated.

Camp Cancellations

Programs that do not meet the minimum participant registration numbers may have to be cancelled. If your camp program is cancelled, we will call the contact number listed on your registration form to notify you of the cancellations. You will have the option of transferring your registration to another week or program; keep a credit on your account for use at another time or a full refund (if requested). We hope you can assist us in preventing cancellations by encouraging your friends, family, and neighbors to come out and join our summer day camp programs!

Sunscreen

It is extremely important that campers come to camp wearing sunscreen with an extra bottle in their bag. In order to prevent sunburns, please encourage your child to continuously re-apply throughout each day. Campers are responsible for their own sunscreen application; however leaders will assist young campers who have difficulty applying their sunscreen appropriately as long as permission is given on the consent form.

Medication

If campers require medication they may leave their medication with our Day Camp Staff. Parents/caregivers are asked to provide Staff with special instruction prior to leaving the camp site. Staff will store medication in a safe location and remind campers when it is time to be taken; however, staff may not administer medication to campers (with the exception of epinephrine for emergency).

Contagious condition

If you suspect your child may have any contagious conditions such as; COVID-19, head lice, pink eye, severe poison oak etc., we ask that you do not send them to camp. Please call our customer service desk at 613-966-4632 to report if your child will be absent from camp for a medical reason. Please inform their leader in order to prevent infecting any other campers. We encourage you to remind your child not to share any personal items with other campers.

Visitation policy

Any person wishing to visit a City of Belleville Day Camp Site outside of regular drop off and pick-up hours MUST notify the City of Belleville Summer Camp Coordinator ahead of the visitation by contacting the City of Belleville’s Recreation, Culture & Community Services Department at 613-966-4632. Visitors are asked to keep their visits to a 15 minute maximum stay to help reduce disruption to the Children’s program time.
