HTS Camps Mission:

HTS Camps strives to offer a wide variety of safe, active and enjoyable activity for children of all ages. We will encourage our campers to be enthusiastic participants, and we will challenge each camper to be their best. In addition to high quality instruction of each individual camp’s theme, our HTS Camp faculty are passionate about teaching core values such as respect, teamwork, compassion, and honour; enabling each camper to be better citizens in their community.

Lunch and Food Allergies

Lunch

All campers will be provided with a drink and a healthy snack in the dining hall during the morning break and a cold treat during the afternoon break.

Food Allergies

Due to the danger to children’s health from food allergies, we ask that no food be brought from home. For information concerning food allergies, please email dhughes@hts.on.ca.

Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures

You may drop your child off at any of the three sidewalk drop off locations on the north side of the parking lot closest to the school. A councilor will be there to greet your child and take them to their camp. Please do not let your child walk across the driveway by themselves. If you would like to park and take your child to their camp, please walk with them across the driveway at the cross walk locations. For the safety of our students and campers, please drive slowly and cautiously in the parking lot. No bussing is offered at HTS Camps.

Attendance

We maintain strict registration and attendance procedures to help ensure the safety and security of all participants and to properly track each child’s personal and medical information.

  • All campers/students must check in upon arrival and be checked out by their camp coordinator/teacher at the end of the day.
  • Please telephone reception (905-737-1114) or email the camp director at dhughes@hts.on.ca if he or she will be late or absent. If you know in advance that your child will be absent for part of a session, please inform the camp coordinator immediately. If the phones are busy, your call will be sent to voice mail. Please leave a message.
  • Summer school attendance is cumpulsory to receive course credit.

Camper / Student Behaviour

Although we will work hard to encourage and promote positive and healthy camper/student deportment, please note that if your child does not adhere to the HTS code of conduct expectations, it is our right to remove your child from the camp/course without refund.

First Aid / Illness

The summer program director and all camp coordinators are trained in first aid should the need arise. Parents will be contacted if an injury occurs. Please keep your child home if they become ill to avoid the spread of the illness to other campers. If a child becomes sick, they will be taken care of until a parent can arrive.

Lost and Found

Lost and Found is located outside of Gym #1. We are not responsible for lost items. Please do not bring valuables to camp!

Tax Receipts

Our camps are tax deductible under child care! Your receipt from camp fees will act as your tax receipt, so please keep it in your files.

Refunds

  • All cancellations must be made in writing (fax, email or letter) to the Summer Camp Office.
  • Refunds for medical reasons are available only upon receipt of a doctor's note provided to the Summer Camps Office.
  • Pro-rated refunds are not available for days absent, meals not taken or other services not fully utilized. The full session’s fees are due and payable if a child is registered and attends any part of a session.
