Spring & Summer Camp Questions

Do I have to pay for Camp at the time of registration?

We offer installment payments for camp.  A 25% deposit is due at the time of registration. You can pay the full balance at the time of registration or pay the balance over two payments. The billing options are listed at time of registration. The installment payment dates are also listed during registration. You may pay with either pre-authorized credit or debit.

 

I no longer need camp for my child. Can I get a refund?

We require 30 days written notice for any enrollment changes. There is an administration fee of $25.

​

Do you accept child care subsidy?

Yes! As a regulated child care provider, we accept the Affordable Childcare Benefit (ACCB). If you are eligible for the Affordable Childcare Benefit, you must still pay the 25% deposit. We will apply any eligible benefits to your account. Caregivers are responsible for all childcare fees, current ACCB authorization must be on file. If you require help once your child is registered, please give us a call at 250-554-5437 and we will be happy to help.

Camp Weather Safety:

What happens to field trips when there is poor weather or smoke in the air?

For the safety of our staff and all summer camp participants, we have policies regarding weather and air quality.

​

We monitor hot weather conditions and require hats, sunscreen, and water bottles when we are outside. We also limit the time outdoors when the temperature is above 30C. If the outdoor temperature is 35C or higher, we stay indoors.

​

We will cancel outdoor water activities such as swimming at Brocklehurst Outdoor Pool if there is a thunderstorm in the weather forecast.

​

We will stay indoors if the air quality is poor due to wildfire smoke or other factors. If the air quality is at a 7 or higher, we keep everyone inside. This includes not playing outdoors on the playground or going on outdoor field trips.
