    • We can provide wheelchair accessibility, one-on-one support, or other accommodations where feasible.

    • To help us plan effectively, please inform us at registration about any needs your child may have. This ensures our staff and volunteers can prepare and provide the best possible experience.

    • Please note that, as a small volunteer-run camp, some accommodations may be limited, and certain activities may not be suitable for all children.

    • Parents are responsible for the daily pickup and drop-off of their children.

    • For families in Edmonton and surrounding areas, we can offer optional pickup and drop-off for $10 per child, with pickup locations shared in advance.

    • This service is limited and subject to availability, so we recommend planning transportation ahead to ensure your child arrives and leaves safely.

    • Daily Sign-In and Sign-Out: All children must be signed in upon arrival and signed out at departure. Only individuals authorized in writing by the parent or guardian may pick up a child. Staff will verify identification before releasing any child.

    • These procedures are in place to ensure the safety and security of all participants and comply with legal duty-of-care obligations.

  • Camp ends at 3:00 PM; pickup by 3:15 PM. Late at drop-off? Call ahead - staff will wait 5–15 mins, then $1/min applies. Extended supervision until 5:00 PM is available for $20/hr (pre-arranged). No programming outside camp hours.
