Who can participate?

All children ages 5-12 are welcome, regardless of school affiliation. 

Will food be served during Kids Day Off?

Yes! We will provide a kid-friendly, plant-based lunch (free of dyes, artificial flavors and common allergens) catered by the same awesome restaurant vendors we partner with during our summer camps. Vendors will vary by event date but can include Firefly, Botanical, Roots Natural Kitchen and Fennel and Fig (a new restaurant opening soon in Crozet!)

While it can vary from week to week, here is a general idea of the lunches served during Kids Day Off:

• Custom Savory Bowls: BBQ Tofu, rice, sweet potato and assorted veggies 
• Pasta Bar: white and red pasta sauce, vegan parmesan, white beans, spinach, broccoli, mixed peppers 
• Upside-Down Nachos: brown rice, refried beans, black beans, olives, organic romaine lettuce, bell peppers, carrots, sauteed veggies, cherry tomatoes, hummus, mild pico de gallo sauce and Costco organic corn tortilla chips and homemade vegan brownie bites 
• Mediterranean Bowls: Mixed greens, falafel, veggie kofta, couscous, hummus, Turkish salad, cucumbers, carrots, tahini sauce and cilantro dressing 
• Nourishing Comfort Food: Vegan mac ‘n cheese with broccoli, baked penne pasta, cooked peas and carrots, make-your-own garden salad

My child has serious food allergies. Will Camp4Real accommodate?

We work to ensure our meals remain free from as many common allergens as possible, but to ensure your child’s safety, we ask that you please reach out to us at Camp4Real@gmail.com to make us aware of your child’s specific needs. 

My child is a very picky eater. Can I send my own food?
We do our best to provide a wide variety of food items to meet the needs of most children, however, we understand that every child is unique and may not eat everything we serve. We always welcome parents to pack and send optional snack or lunch items that you know your child will enjoy! Be sure to send all refrigerated items in a cooler bag (labeled with your child’s name!) as we will not have access to a refrigerator.

What items should my child bring with them?

• A water bottle labeled with their name
• Weather-appropriate clothing that is comfortable for active movement in both indoor and outdoor environments

Can I include outside family members in the sibling discount? (Cousins, nieces, nephews, etc?)

• Our sibling discount is applied toward the registration of any additional children in your household who share your home address. 

What is your cancellation policy? 

We get that sometimes plans change or unexpected illness can occur. Camp4Real will provide a full refund of registration fees if we receive notice 48 hours prior to the event start date. Registration fees for cancellations occurring after the 48-hour refund window will be donated forward into our scholarship fund.
