What to Leave at Home
Do not send anything of value to camp. Cell phones, video games, iPads, toys, and cameras can get lost or damaged during the long, active days. Clothing and accessories like jewelry that is special or important should also be left at home.
Labeling Items Sent to Camp
We encourage you to LABEL EVERYTHING so lost items stand a better chance of getting back to their rightful owner. Prior to your childs first day of camp, take a photo of the items you are sending with them, it will help us better identify the item you are looking for if it is to get
lost while here at camp. If something has been lost, kindly send an email describing as much about the item as you can. In the confusion of a busy day, items can sometimes get stuffed into the wrong bag. If your child comes home with something that looks unfamiliar, please send it back to camp. We have partnered with Mabel’s Labels, a company with all types of labels that are colourful, indestructible, and fun! With a ‘Camp Combo’ pack, your camper can label absolutely everything! Simply proceed to buy through: Mabels Labels – and search Kettleby Valley Camp.
