Registration is at 3:00 p.m. on the starting day. The registration line does not open until 3:00 p.m. so if you arrive early you can take a tour of the camp until the line opens. Camp closes at 5:00 on the final day for your session with a closing chapel followed by a hot dog supper. You are welcome to come to the closing chapel and join with us for the meal.
Yes, we always have a registered nurse on hand. The nurse carries a VHF radio with them at all times so they are readily available. We can contact them as needed. We do have a fully equipped dispensary, spine boards and splints. Sometimes even a medical Doctor will volunteer for a week!
Our medical staff will do what they can. We do have some over-the-counter medications to help with sniffles and upset stomach and we'll make sure they rest. If needed, we will either take them to the closest hospital (Melfort or Tisdale). In the worst-case scenario, we will call the ambulance. We will call you and keep you posted. We can even meet you at the hospital if necessary.
If your child needs to go home during the week due to illness or injury, we will give a partial refund based on how many days of the camp week are left.
We let our cabin leaders and camp grandparents do their best to distract them and get them involved. Sometimes it works but not always. We will call you for instructions. They are free to go home if they do not settle down. PS We do not like to see them miss the week, BUT WE NEVER will keep the camper here if they insist on going home.
NOTE: we do not give refunds for homesickness.
Our cooks serve nearly 30,000 - yes! thirty thousand meals! Most kids rave about the food. If they dislike something there is always alternates on the food line. There is always fresh fruit for breakfast, and fresh vegetables for lunch and supper. We make meals that kids love to eat like spaghetti, mac and cheese, pancakes, taco salad, subs, and pizza to name a few. If you have any questions about special dietary needs, please feel free to call the camp to speak with the Head Cook.
No. We have reserved that spot for them and will be unable to fill it. Our staff are all in place and all supplies have been purchased. We will try to arrange a return later in the summer.
Yes. If they can not stay at camp because of a serious injury we will refund the remainder of the balance of the week. Some campers will even come back on crutches – they don’t like to miss camp!
If you have a medical reason for a special diet, we will do our best to accommodate. Parents supplement the week as well with some special food from home. You do need to give the camp a heads up about those needs - call and talk to the kitchen at least a week before arriving to make arrangements. The camp has limited options for a gluten free diet.
That is no problem. We are an interdenominational camp. We will give your camper a free Bible if they want one. We do teach God’s Word during our chapel sessions.
Your children are under supervision every moment they are at camp. A Senior Staff member lives in the cabin with them. They are in table teams with a staffer. Their free time has multiple staff looking after them.
If it is absolutely necessary. We don’t advise it because experience has taught us that usually the campers get homesick and nearly always end up going home with you. That spoils it for them. If there is a problem we will most assuredly call you. Usually it is the nurse or one of the directors that calls.
Let us know at the registration window. We will try and fix it.
We will do our best to accommodate this. If the skill is completely full they may have to select another. They may not always be in the same skill as their friends but they will be with them in the cabin.
There are bunk beds to sleep in and we supply a good mattress. You will need to bring either a sleeping bag or similar cover. Your child will have a senior cabin leader in their cabin as your supervisor and usually a junior cabin leader as well. Cabins can hold up 10 campers plus 2 staff members.
We have a large bathroom facility that sits right in the middle of our cabin area where it is easily accessed by all the cabins. They have 20 showers and lots of toilets and sinks. There are change rooms built into the showers for privacy. They are cleaned every day.
