Please send your child in clothing that they can move comfortably in

Students will participate in crafts and play outside; things may get messy! Please keep this in mind when dressing your child for camp
Students will also have some calmer activities throughout the day, including time for coloring, playing board games, and reading. Feel free to send your child with a book or games they may want to play with their friends! Open Arms will also have books and games for students.

Campers will have lunch and 2 snacks throughout each day of camp.

Open Arms will provide 1 of the 2 snacks each day for your child. This snack will match the theme of each week of camp. Please be sure to pack a second snack for your child, or 2, in case they do not like the snack that we provide.
Every Tuesday, campers will get to work as a team to make a fun snack to enjoy! We will provide everything your camper will need for this snack.
Please be sure to let us know of ALL food allergies that your child has (airborne included) so that we can ensure every camper is in a safe environment!
If your camper is enrolled in aftercare, feel free to send them with a third snack!
Open Arms will keep small snacks on hand. If you need assistance in providing a packed lunch or snacks for your child, please let us know. We want to create a positive, inclusive environment for ALL students, and we are more than happy to provide!
