To comply with Toronto Children's Services regulations for day camps, Applegrove's day camp is nut-free (peanuts and tree nuts). Therefore, Applegrove adopted an Anaphylaxis Policy for the summer camp (view policy, PDF, 131K).
This program is funded by the federal government, provincial government, City of Toronto, Toronto Star Fresh Air Fund, and generous donations.
This program helps young teens (ages 12 to 15) build confidence and self-esteem, gain leadership and team-building skills, and develop life skills such as planning, budgeting, cooking and first aid. It balances learning with experience and adds fun to make a well-balanced program. Sessions are two weeks in length, Mondays through Fridays.
