Kids Summer
Day Camp

Don’t be sad, if the days your child wants to attend is full, you can email kidsadmin@summerlandbaptist.ca with your child’s name, age and dates you are requesting. This will put you on the waitlist. If a spot becomes available, an email will be sent to you. If you want the spot reply by email. We will respond and the spot will be yours as soon as payment is received.

Parents/Guardians may request to withdraw their child from a camp by advising SBC by phone, email or in person. A full refund will be issued if the request to withdraw is made at least ten business days before the camp start date. Please note – statutory holidays are not considered a business day.

No refund is provided after the camp start date unless there are extenuating circumstances. In such cases a written request for refund or a credit toward another camp, accompanied by appropriate documentation (i.e., medical note).

No refund is provided for days missed or forgotten camps.

Refunds will be paid back to the credit card that was used during registration.

Payment for camp is required with registration. Spots are reserved when payment has been received.

Once registration is complete you will be asked to pay by credit card at the end. This will secure the spot.

If you are unable to pay by credit card or are a low income family needing help with subsidies please contact Bree at Bree@summerlandbaptist.ca to arrange alternative payment options.

Your child will not be registered until arrangements have been made.

At SBC camp it is expected that all kids behave in a kind and respectful way towards other campers, leaders, equipment, and camp facilities. Parents will be notified if their child’s behavior is inappropriate. If the inappropriate behaviour continues, SBCkids Camp reserves the right to remove the child from camp, without a refund.

We do our best to keep an eye on all situations, but if you hear of something happening at camp, please contact bree@summerlandbaptist.ca.

If you know that your child will be way or late please notify us by emailing kidsadmin@summerlandbaptis.ca. Sign in is from 8:30 am until 9 am. The doors will be locked after this time and and intern will be calling the contact on file to verify the absence.

Parents will be notified if the Camp leader feels it is necessary for the camper to be picked up early due to illness or injury. Many staff are CPR and First Aid certified. In the event a significant injury or illness occurs, camp staff will contact medical services and the parent/guardian.

**Please Note** If a camper is exhibiting cold/flu symptoms, the parent will be contacted and the camper will need to be immediately picked up.

There will be up to 25 campers per day.

There is 1 College Intern and 3 High School leaders leading the camp. There will be a minimum of 1 High School Intern to every 7 campers. Bree Young (Pastor of Children and Families, Bachelor of Education) oversees all the interns and leaders.

All items left behind at camp are laid out daily for campers to look through the next day. Parents are also welcomed to email kidsadmin@summerlandbaptist.ca or come by during operating hours to check the Lost and Found themselves. (8:30am-4:00pm, Monday-Friday) At the end of summer, all unclaimed items are disposed of or donated to a local charity.

We take the safety of the children and leaders at SBC very seriously. Every SBCkids leader goes through a screening process. This process involves:

Police record Check

Plan to Protect Training (teaches safe practice policies, procedures, and abuse awareness)

Face to face interview with Staff member and reference checks

Work Safe training

Phase training (teaching about the developmental age of the kids they are caring for)

Basic CPR training
