Medical care

When registering your child, you are able to inform us of any medical conditions or special requirements. Our First Aid officers are trained in supporting children on camps and are equipped to administer medication and offer assistance if required.

The Camp Director holds detailed information on the location of the nearest hospital and medical centre to ensure swift action if any injuries or emergencies occur on camp.

Dietary options

We provide wholesome, nutritious food for campers to give your kids the energy they need for active, outdoor fun. We regularly cater for campers with special dietary needs.

CRU Campers often have nut allergies/anaphylaxis. We ask that your child does not bring foods to camp that contain or are made using nuts.

Meals served on camp

Lunch

Special diets

We understand that many children have specific dietary needs. We work with you to do our best to cater for your child’s specific requirements. Below are listed some common dietary options offered at a number of our campsites.

A camper with a severe or life-threatening allergy must provide their own food for reheating. Unfortunately, most of our camps are unable to cater for dietary requirements outside those listed in the table. In these circumstances, parents may be required to provide special food for their child to bring to camp.
