What are the Fees and are there Refunds?
The $25 deposit is non-refundable. The balance of the camper fee is due the day of registration for that confirmed camp. If your child is unable to attend please cancel within 10 days of the confirmed camp by calling the Registrar Laura Nelson @ 250-428-9048. This way that spot may then be available for another camper.

Cabin assignments are made by the staff, prior to the start of each session. We will try, whenever possible, to honour the request of up to two friends wanting to bunk together, if the request is made with pre-registration.
What are the guidelines for Phone Calls?
The campers are encouraged not to use the phone other than for emergencies. If an emergency arises at home, please contact the office and they will see the message gets to the camper to return your call.
Do I send food with my child?
Please do not send food to camp with your child. We serve them three hearty meals a day plus afternoon and evening snacks plus TUCK (canteen) times. Food in the cabins encourages unwanted guests! (Kootenay Camp is home to many kinds of wildlife). If your child has special dietary needs, please let us know on the registration form.
Are there family discounts?
A $25 discount per child is available for families sending three or more children.

A little extra cash is useful to the camper for purchasing Tuck and canteen items. Money for a Missionary offering is also encouraged. There is no other need for cash so please do not send any more than $20 with your child.
