4 Day Camp - Overnight = $325/camper 

3 Day Camp (Weekend)- Overnight = $200/camper

5 Day and 4 Day Only - (8am-8pm) camps $175/camper

*** A $50 non-refundable deposit is required to secure the camp spot (yes, $50 for each camp spot, not for each camper when registering for more than one camp).  Please see our refund policies here.  Final payment for camp fees are due one month before the camp start date.

Our Summer Camp Theme

We have a musical summer theme this year, so bring your musical talents and instruments to camp!!  We will also be having our cabin parade, which helps to introduce our cabins in a costume parade.  Costumes are provided, but some individuals may prefer to bring their own.

Stay tuned for more information on the Fall Weekend Camp in Enderby for activities and our fall theme.

New Registration Survey Results

Thanks to everyone who took less than one minute to answer two questions on how they felt about the new online registration system.

Some of the great suggestions for next year in the registration system are:

"Not able to add random notes like I did when it was paper."

"More space to add detail for helpful tips for care and behaviour"

"Let people know the confirmation number for the e-transfer will be in the notification from the bank that the funds were deposited. I did not receive that number until after I had completed the registration."

"1. Allow to sign authorization form online 2. Allow online payment for registration"

Please Note: We will be working on these for next year.  However, the online payment and VeriSign add-ins are expensive!  Our current methods are free plus postage, and we are trying to keep our camp fees as low as possible.

Some positive comments that were given in the suggestion section were:

"Easy to use and intuitive" 

"I loved registering this way! Easy and convenient. Great move!"

"This is my first year registering, but I found the form easy to follow and fill out."

"I appreciated it being online. It was a quicker response to know you received everything."

"My husband and I could not figure it out so Pearl was able to help us out thanks Pearl you were wonderful."

Common questions about camp registration

Question:

Do I have to have a picture of the camper and the payment information (e-Transfer reference number) and all the other information health information prior to starting the registration?

Answer:   Yes, as then your registration will be completed and the spot shall be reserved.  However, if you forget anything simply save your user ID and password, and then when you go to log in again all the information you put in will auto-fill for you to finish your registration.

Question:

Can I use the same cheque or e-Transfer to pay for multiple campers or camp registrations at once?

Answer: Yes, simply use the cheque number or e-Transfer reference number in all payment cases.  We will do the math on our end and make deposits/payments as paid.  Please add a note with the mailed cheque or comment in the e-Transfer to let us match up the camper and camp to the payments.

Question:

Can I just print out the registration information and then mail it in?

Answer: Yes, from your internet browser with the camp registration form on your screen select the 'Print' function, this will print the registration form as a blank form.  You can also click to open the 'Informed Consent' form and print that as well.  Complete and mail it to us with the payment.   However, you may be put on a waiting list if the camp fills up in the meantime.

Question:

Will you accept post-dated cheques?

Answer: Yes, for the final payment amount only.  The deposit cheque must be dated the same day the forms are mailed.  Final payment is due 4 weeks before the start of camp.  Registrations that are not marked "paid" by then may be canceled.

Question:

What if I need help or do not have access to the internet to register my camper for camp?

Answer: Contact us by telephone (250)-253-3045 and we can help you get registered over the telephone and via mailing forms to you.
