Question 1

How many Counsellors are there per Camper?

Accepted Answer

Each Camper group has a ratio between 1:6 and 1:8 for direct supervision with the overall ratio at Camp being even better than that! Being able to connect directly and meaningful is a key part of the program!

Question 2

What group would my Camper be in at Summer Camp?

Accepted Answer

We have programs that run all summer that when you register your camper, we place them automatically in a group. This placement is based on the age that they are as they attend camp. We also have some specialty programs that run certain weeks of the summer (Tennis, Mountain Biking, etc.)

Question 3

Will my Camper's counsellor be bilingual?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Each group has at least 2 counsellors and almost all of our staff are comfortable speaking in both official languages. At minimum one of the two will be fully bilingual. Come say ‘hi’ anytime, in any language, we’d love to meet you!

Question 4

Can my Camper be in a different age group?

Accepted Answer

We have designed our camp programs (right down to the age division) very deliberately. We truly believe our program to be an educational one and that we can provide unique opportunities for campers to develop their independence, awareness, and appreciation for both themselves and the world around them – all through the conduit of having a blast together! So we keep the campers in their respective age groups deliberately and don’t move them between groups. It’s a chance for the program to be fluid with the groups and be customized to the kids that are in the specific group. We’ve found it to be an excellent way to encourage making new friends and independence.

Question 5

Where can I register?

Accepted Answer

All of our registrations are done online. You can click the link on the top menu that says "register for a camp." If you don't have one already, make an account, then all of your information will be stored there for future registrations. If you have any questions just give us a call!

Question 6

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made at the time of registration. For your convenience there are different payment plan options:
Payment can be made in full using Direct Debit, Credit Card, or e-Transfer. All e-Transfers must be made to office@campcentennial.ca within 24 hours of submission. Auto-deposit is setup and therefor no password is required. Payment not made within 24 hours will result in cancellation of any registrations.
You can pay only the deposit ($100/Camper/Per session) and pay the remainder in instalments that process automatically the first of each month. This option is for Credit Card or eCheck only and not applicable to e-transfers.
You can pay the deposit  ($100/Camper/Per session) and have the remainder process automatically the 1st of June. This option is for Credit Cards or eCheck only and not applicable to e-transfers.
For each registered session there is a $100 deposit. After May 1st, this deposit becomes non-refundable and non-transferable between other sessions or Campers. Should you choose to make any adjustments to your registration after May 1st, the deposit is not refunded nor transferable.

Question 7

Are deposits refundable or transferable?

Accepted Answer

For each registered session there is a $100 deposit.
The deposit is paid at time of registration. After May 1st,  the deposit is no longer transferable nor refundable. This includes being non-transferable to siblings, to another session for the same Camper, or any other transfer. 
Deposits are associated to a Camper by session (a session is a week at Camp). A change to another program within the same session will not require another deposit.
Any change (cancelation, switch to another session etc.) would require the forfeiture of the original deposit and the payment of another.
Payment is due, in full, June 1st. At that point all registrations are to be confirmed. Refunds are not offered after this time. 
Refunds requested after June 1st due to special circumstances can be issued on a case-by-case basis depending on the circumstances. This determination will be made upon request to the Camp Office.

Question 8

Are there surcharges included in credit card payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes! If you choose credit card as your payment option, it will incur a 2.4% surcharge. You can choose to pay by VisaDebit, eCheck or in full by e-Transfer as alternative payment options that don't include a surcharge.

Question 9

How does drop-off work?

Accepted Answer

A map and drop off info can also be found here. 
Drop off is between 8:00 – 8:20 each morning. We will have counsellors waiting at our drop off loop which is located on your second right after entering the park on Rotary Lodge Lane.

You have two options in the morning:
You can park in the parking lot by St George and walk your Campers into Camp. There is a Counsellor at the gate to point you to your Camper's cabin and their Counsellors will be there to greet them!
You can also use the drop-off loop. If using the loop, please be sure not to park or get out of the car. This is for Camper drop-offs only!

Question 10

When does Camp end for a day, and how does pick up work?

Accepted Answer

Pick up is between 4:15 and 4:30.

We ask that everyone park in the outer parking lot (by St. George) and walk in to pick up your Camper(s). Every Camper must be signed out at their cabin!

A map and pickup info can also be found here.

Question 11

What should my child bring to Camp with them?

Accepted Answer

Our days are very active, so we recommend older clothes that you won't mind getting dirty. With that each camper needs a lunch, snacks, and drinks. Your child will also need proper swim gear, towel as well as sunscreen and bug spray.

Question 12

Is there Camp on holidays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our summer is 9 weeks long and every week goes Monday - Friday. The price of Camp is administered for the full 5 days and we do not offer part-weeks.

Question 13

What is Campfire? And when is it?

Accepted Answer

Campfires are a treasured part of our Camp experience. This summer they will be Fridays starting at 4:00pm. Family, friends, and the community are welcome to join us at that time to watch the show!

Question 14

What is the Camp sponsorship program?

Accepted Answer

It is a set of donations from local companies and individuals who understand the huge impact that a week at summer Camp can have on a child. Any donation goes to a fund that is spent completely on sending kids to Camp who would not have otherwise had the opportunity to do so.

Question 15

What weeks of the summer does Camp run?

Accepted Answer

We run for 9 weeks. Our first session is June 22nd - 26th and our last week is August 17th - 21st, 2026.

Question 16

What should I expect from the Camp experience?

Accepted Answer

Well that's a big question! You can find general logistical information here. We also put together a "What is Camp" document and you can find our "Promise and Expectations" document online as well! If you'd like to know more, please feel free to reach out! We'd love to chat with you.
