Yes. Day Camp caregivers send campers with a bag lunch. Cave Springs provides a morning and afternoon snack for Day Campers. This change from the “lunch provided” practice of previous summer has been implemented as part of structural changes for sustainability at Cave Springs Camp.

No. Our kitchen team provides all Overnight meals and snacks. Tuck money is included in the registration fee, so extra money is not needed for tuck. We will have t-shirts, and water bottles for purchase.

Cave Springs Camp strongly encourages campers to not bring electronics to camp and to spend the time at camp in nature rather than on electronic devices. Cave Springs Camp is not responsible for any damage that may occur to electronics that campers do bring. We try to encourage both campers and parents to be in the present meaning we discourage the use of cell phones with campers. Should you have something you would like to say to your camper, please contact the camp, and we can relay the message.

Day campers must be at least 5 years old at the time of their desired session. Please note that space for 5 year olds is limited because we only offer one group with 5 year olds per Day Camp session.

Camper age is determined by the camper age on December 31, 2023. To request an exception for a child who has turned 11 or is turning 11 this year, email: registration@cavespringscamp.on.ca. Campers who are 7-12 years old also have the option to consider one of our two Bridge Camp weeks. Bridge Camp is a chance to ease into Overnight Camp Programming by attending two days of Day Camp and then sleeping over From Wednesday to Friday evening.

Overnight drop off is 4:30 on Sunday and pick up is 7:00 on Friday.

Day Camp drop off is 8:30 and pick up is 4:30.

Absolutely! Cave Springs Camp is an inclusive camp open to people of all cultural and religious backgrounds! There are certain aspects during the day that involve the Christian faith. These include saying grace before meals, singing religious songs and spending about 45 minutes a day in our session which features a fun universal faith teaching. We also spend lots of time with typical camp activities like swimming, canoeing, archery, crafts and more!

We follow the standards of the Ontario Camps Association which require a ratio of 1 counsellor to 8 campers. The ratios of all our staff to campers is around 1:4.

There is a section in our registration form (on CampBrain) where you can list requests for your camper, and we will do our best to accommodate these requests, but unfortunately we cannot guarantee requests. Groups are made according to age, therefore it is more likely a request will be granted if the two campers are the same or similar in age.

Inclusion is something we highly value at Cave Springs. At this time, Cave Spring is not able to provide staffing for 1:1 support. If 1:1 support can be arranged through a third party, we welcome the partnership and will work together for a successful integration experience.
