Candy and "Personal Goodies"

Campers are able to purchase limited candy once a week. It has been our experience that campers who receive “care packages” may devour a week’s supply of sweets in a short time, and become almost hyperactive on the resulting sugar high. In addition, the cabins do not have facilities for food storage, so insects and mice may be attracted by “candy caches”.
For these reasons, personal supplies of food, candy or drinks are collected by staff and kept in the lodge.

The best thing would be not to send any goodies to camp! If you must , then —

No drinks (soft drinks, juice, or bottled water) should be brought to camp. Please be sure to have any candy or "personal goodies" in a container labelled with the name of your child. Campers may obtain reasonable rations from their supply after lunch by asking their counsellor. All candy or other goodies brought to camp will be shared with cabin mates. Please let your child know this ahead of time.

If there is a child with allergies in the cabin then the candy will not be available to that group.
