Cabins

Camp participants will stay in shared cabins. Redberry has 12 winterized cabins and 4 non-winterized cabins. Each cabin accommodates approximately 10 to 12 people and is equipped with wood-framed bunk beds and electrical outlets near the beds.

CanPKU+ will assign cabins based on participants' ages and genders. Some cabins may be co-ed. If you are staying in a mixed cabin, please respect everyone's personal space and privacy when changing. Participants may wish to bring an extra sheet that can be hung from the top bunk to the bottom bunk to create a private changing area. Alternatively, families have taken turns changing while the rest of the cabin waits outside.

Guests must bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and personal toiletries. 

We suggest if you would like to put your littles to bed and return to the main hall, that a baby monitor is brought with you to allow you to "hear" in the cabin. Otherwise, we enforce that supervision in the cabin is required.

Main Hall

The dining hall can comfortably accommodate up to 120 people. The main bathrooms are attached to the dining hall and include multiple stalls and separate shower stalls. There is a seating area around an indoor fireplace.

Kitchen Access

The main commercial kitchen is off limits to camp participants. CanPKU+ will have access to a separate side kitchen with basic kitchen items and a refrigerator that can be used to store medical formulas and other approved items.  

The kitchen staff has worked with CanPKU+ in the past and provides exceptional options. We will also have additional food options available but you are welcome to bring your own items for snacking and alternatives. Please put your name on these items. No food is permitted in the cabins. Meals will be served buffet style.

Please note we request that you do not bring ANY nut or may contain nut items.

Gym

The gym includes basketball hoops, volleyball equipment, bathrooms, changing rooms, and an accessible bathroom with a full bathtub and shower. Use of the gym will depend on the camp schedule and can be discussed during the event. Access to the gym without supervision is not permitted. 

Accessibility

The camp is not fully wheelchair accessible. However, Redberry may be able to make arrangements for individual accessibility needs when provided with enough notice and information. Please contact CanPKU+ before camp to discuss any accommodations you may require.

Camp Grounds

The camp grounds include more than 20 picnic tables, walking and hiking paths, and views of Redberry Lake. Participants are encouraged to enjoy the outdoor spaces while respecting camp boundaries, other guests, and the natural environment. There will be some "free time" made available for exploring, but we do request that you participate in activities as scheduled. The grounds provide an outdoor fire pit for evening fires. There is also a climbing gym for play. 

Please note: Accidents can happen indoors or outdoors, whether or not you are participating in a planned activity. We all share responsibility for creating the safest environment possible and maintaining a hands-off policy with friends and foes alike.
