LUNCH & SNACKS

Campers are active throughout the day while they are at the Zoo. Please ensure that your camper brings a healthy nutritious lunch with a drink and snacks to nourish them throughout the day. Water bottle filling stations are available.

Thursday is Pizza Pizza day at Zoo Camp! Children in all groups will be treated to a Pizza Pizza lunch each Thursday.

We are an allergen aware camp and do NOT allow products containing nuts/traces of nuts due to the severe allergies of some of our campers. We ask that food and beverage labels be read carefully to avoid sending any of these items. All homemade items must include an applicable ingredient list.

NUT-FREE LUNCH

Nuts and nut-related products, including those that may contain traces of nuts, are not permitted at camp. Please send store bought goods in original packaging or with a copy of the ingredients list so that we may verify any questionable products. Please send homemade baked goods with an ingredient list so that we may verify that items do not contain nuts or traces of nuts.

SENDING FOOD ITEMS/BIRTHDAYS/CELEBRATIONS AT ZOO CAMP

Please do not send any food items to share with your child’s camp group or counsellors. If you wish to recognize your child’s birthday or other special occasion, please share this information with your child’s camp counsellor.

LITTERLESS LUNCH

Why litterless?

To ensure your packed lunch produces minimal waste for the landfill, consider packing a litterless lunch.

Keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot to ensure they remain safe for consumption and are eaten rather than thrown away. Non-toxic ice packs, freezable lunch cooler bags and stainless steel thermal food containers are some options.
