Campers from the previous year's Summer Camp have priority until OCTOBER 6. New four week
campers will be given first priority thereafter. New Campers are accepted in the order in which
registrations are received by the Camp office and after the vacancies in the various age groups
have been determined. Upon acceptance, parents will receive a Code of Behaviour which
should be discussed with your daughter. Campers may register for mini camp, two, four, six, or all eight
weeks of Camp.
EXTENDED CANOE TRIPS
We offer extended canoe trip options. A separate application for our 2 and 4 week canoe trip programs
can be completed online. The Summer Camp Application must be used to apply for one of the extended canoe trips.
INCIDENTAL EXPENSES
There are no extra charges for regular Camp activities, but parents will be asked to deposit
$300.00 for laundry, life saving awards, miscellaneous tuck shop items, bus travel, and tripping permits.
Six week and two month Campers deposit $450.00.
TRAVEL
Campers travel by chartered bus between Toronto and Algonquin Park. Arrangements for pick up
and departure at Toronto Airport can be made. Details of flight arrangements will be sent when
your daughter is accepted to camp. Campers may also be picked up and dropped off at the Camp
Landing. (Cache Lake, Algonquin Park)
ACTIVITIES
There are excellent facilities for all activities offered. At the waterfront there is instruction from
beginners to advanced levels in swimming, diving, life saving, canoeing, kayaking, wind surfing
and sailing. There are comparable programmes at fitness, sports, ropes course, lapidary archery
arts and crafts, theatre arts, tennis, woodworking, woodcraft and mountain hiking. Particular
emphasis is placed on Environmental Awareness and Education in our programme. The daily
programme is based on individual choice; each Camper progresses at her own level of skill. All
one month Campers have the opportunity to go on a canoe trip. Please contact our office for
details. Evening programmes are recreational fun ranging from music to group games or
campfires. There are cookouts and many special events which highlight the summer. All Camp
programmes such as tournaments and theme days are carefully planned to include the interests of
every Camper.
SUPERVISION
The ratio of total counsellor staff to Campers is one to three with very few exceptions. The
minimum age for senior counsellors is eighteen. Most are former campers.
SECTIONS & CABIN MATE REQUESTS
Section is determined by age and cabin grouping. Sections elect their own leaders and plan many of their own evening programmes and special
events. The Camp reserves the right to make final decisions regarding section and cabin
placements. Friendships, compatibility age, grade in school, height, general -maturity and the
new Campers are considered in planning congenial groupings. Cabin request forms are sent out
early in the new year. Campers wishing to request one friend must: (1) Obtain the consent of the
proposed cabin mate and (2) he sure that they are the same age and/or grade in school. While
every effort is made to honour mutual requests, parents are reminded that learning to live with
new friends is an important part of a Camp experience. The Camp will only consider one cabin
request. Cabin placement is entirely at the discretion of the Director. Late cabin -requests cannot
be honoured.
CAMP UNIFORMS
Tan coloured T-shirts and dark green shorts, sweatshirts and pants are the official daytime
uniform. Camp uniforms may be ordered through the Camp or may be purchased at any shop you
choose. Information about uniform clothing will he sent to you in the early spring. Suitable Camp
