Drop Off / Pick Up Times

All of our overnight camps start on Sunday and run to Friday. 

At both of these times an adult will need to sign in and sign out the camper. This can be done by seeing the staff at the basket ball court when you arrive. If you will be later dropping off, picking up, please contact the office. 

We do our best to honour all cabin requests provided that both campers have made the same request and are of approximately the same age and gender. During the day for programming each cabin may be paired with a second cabin to create a ‘cabin group’ of 14 campers with at least 2 counsellors for activities.

Cabin groups are arranged into three sections:

• Herbivores (campers ages 7-9)

• Omnivores (campers ages 10-12)

• Carnivores (campers ages 13-14)

Programming

We specifically design all cabin group activity rotations to be age-appropriate for the various sections. There are 9 different program areas that campers will get to experience during their week at camp.

During the evenings and on theme days, all of the age groups come together for all camp activities such as Campfire, All Camp Games, Airbands, Social and others.

Themes

A lot of people ask us about theme weeks and what the difference between each week is. For example, “Does Sports week mean that my son or daughter will be playing sports all week all the time?”.

In general, on a week by week basis the cabin group activities remain the same. It is the weekly theme however that influences how each program is lead. For example for this summer’s theme “Campers Assemble!” you may end up making a superhero cape in arts and crafts or looking at superheroes of the bible at the faith program.

On top of the theme being a part of the daily program activities there is also an ongoing story that is presented through skits by the staff and a full “theme day” on Wednesday. It is these themes that change up the week and keep it interesting for both campers and staff.

Interest Groups

In addition to the regular programming at Camp, we also offer twice a day programming called ‘Interest Groups’. During this time camp staff lead non-regularly scheduled programs that campers can sign up to try. Like the name implies these activities are based on camper interests and the skill set of the staff member leading them. Interest groups vary from week to week so that campers can have a variety of experiences over the summer. Some interest groups that are commonly offer are:

Tuck Shop

The tuck shop at camp is stocked with both food and drink items as well as camp merchandise. Each day campers will have a chance to visit the tuck shop and choose “tuck” (chocolate bar, candy, chips, drinks) which they will pay for with their tuck card. Tuck cards are available to purchase at drop off on Sunday or online prior to attending. The card acts as an account for the camper for the week. Tuck cards can be purchased in a variety of amounts. Each food/drink item in the tuck shop costs $1.00-$2.00.

Tuck shop merchandise is also available for purchase on drop off and pick up days. Some items that we carry include flashlights, notebooks, hats, t-shirts and sweatshirts. These items range in price from camp sunglasses $5.00 to camp sweatshirts $30.00.
