Camper Groups
Kindergarten Camp and Elementary Camp will be divided into smaller groups of campers.  Each group will participate in the same program.  If your child is attending camp with a friend or a sibling and they would like to be in the same group please ensure that they are registered in the same group.  You are able to choose their group during registration.  If the group doesn’t matter to you, please choose a group other than Group 1 as Group 1 tends to fill quickest since most parents choose it by default.  Please note that the groups are subject to change based on camper registration and other factors and are not guaranteed.

Adaptive Camp
Please click here and read the attached document before registering your child for Adaptive Camp. Please select either “Cambridge Adaptive Camper” or “Kitchener Adaptive Camp” depending on where you live to register your child for Adaptive Camp. Adaptive campers can only select 5 weeks of camp as we seek to support as many children as we are able. Please contact Rebecca Sparrow, specialneeds@forwardchurch.ca for inquiries about Adaptive Camp.
