Get Ready For Camp
To help campers get the most out of their camping experience we have tried to anticipate many of the questions most frequently asked by campers and parents. Wherever possible we try to help campers prepare for camp so that many things are not left until the last minute resulting in harassed parents and campers.
Parents, please take time to discuss camp preparation with your camper. We have tried to cover everything a camper might wonder about here on our website .
We need some important information from you before camp opens. Listed below are last minute checklist items to complete by May 15th.
- Balance of fees owing
- Completed Camp Health Form
- Photocopy of Provincial Health Card (front and back)
- Completed camp clothing order (optional)
- Campers, bring any new swimming awards received during the winter
Please read all our Getting Ready For Camp sections carefully and help the camp operation run smoothly by responding promptly.
