Campers should pack their own lunch daily, and bring a morning snack. Please use an insulated lunch bag, as campers keep their lunches with their group throughout the day.
An afternoon snack is provided. If your child tends to get extra hungry, they are welcome to bring additional snacks from home. In case lunch or a snack is forgotten, staff will contact you.
For severe allergies or dietary restrictions, communicate needs to the camp prior to arrival. While Future Stars is "nut conscious" rather than "nut-free," clear protocols are in place, and staff are trained to manage allergic reactions.
Requests for changes to a camper's schedule can be made by contacting the Future Stars Nassau office directly via phone or email. We'll work to accommodate all requests, though changes are subject to availability.
Future Stars Camps operate rain or shine! If rain or thunderstorms occur, Future Stars Nassau has indoor facilities so campers can continue building their skills and having fun until the weather clears.
In almost every case, there is one staff member for every four to eight campers.
