Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren’t cellphones allowed at camp?

Camp Wamp has a strict no cellphone policy. Camp Wamp is a tech free camp. Any cellphones brought to camp will be used only in an emergency. Camp Wamp is all about nature and camp being a stepping stone for your camper.

This is because we believe that being at Camp Wamp is an opportunity for your child to experience a world beyond home. This allows children to develop autonomy, independence, and a stronger sense of self. It allows them to make new friends, take responsibility for themselves and others, problem solve, and mature a bit. These things cannot be achieved when parents are only a phone call or e-mail away.

What are the sleeping conditions like?

Campers sleep outside on a cot under the stars. We call it Cotlandia. Campers bring there own sleeping bags and bedding. Please prepare for warm and cold. Refer to Campers Welcome Packet for packing lists.

What activities do you have?

We offer swimming, arts & crafts, nature challenges, kayaking & paddle boarding, fishing, games, music & drama, environmental studies, life skills, adaptive rockwall climbing, camp wide programs, campfires and lots more!

What is the camp food like?

Our camp Chefs, specializing in summer camps, provides family-style meals served in our dining hall. Fresh fruit and vegetables, homemade soups and alternative meals are served three times a day, so campers have enough food choices that everyone finds something they like. There is even a snack before bed! Camp staff eat with the campers to provide assistance as required. We are able to accommodate some special diets such as vegan, high fibre, soft and puree diets. If your child has a more specialized diet, please note this information on the application/health forms. Camp Wamp is nut-aware camps and do not use any nut products in our meals. We ask that you do not send any nuts or peanut products to camp.

My child takes medication every day. Can you help with that?

Our nurse at each camp will be the one who will administer all medications and oversee all treatments that your child requires. Upon arrival at camp, you will have the opportunity to meet the nurses and review the heath care needs of your child. Rest assured, if the nurses have any concerns about your camper, they will contact you for further advice.
