Safety Policies

We take the safety of each camper very seriously.  The policies below are developed with safety in mind.

General Policies

The following policies are developed for the effective functioning of camp.

  • Camper Best Behaviour Pledge
  • Camper Conduct Accountability
  • Payment and Refund Policy
  • Communication Guidelines
  • Homesickness Tips and Protocol
  • Independent Transportation Policy
  • Silver Lake is a “Screen Free” camp.   Your support of this policy helps ensure campers have a refreshing and engaging experience.
  • Lost and Found.  Although every effort is made to ensure belongings are collected throughout the day, children often lose something at camp. Please ensure all your child’s belongings are properly labelled.  All items left behind are displayed at the end of the week for campers and parents to look through. All unclaimed items are held for 1 week. Found items of particular value such as personalized medicines, are held for an additional week.  DO NOT SEND VALUABLE ITEMS TO CAMP such as cell phones, jewellery, expensive clothing etc. Silver Lake Mennonite Camp is not responsible for lost or stolen items

SLMC is committed to building a compassionate, contrite and caring camp that actively fosters a diverse community with an engaged environment that is a safe and hospitable space in which all can grow and contribute, and where each member feels included, accepted, heard and acknowledged.  SLMC recognizes that living and teaching anti-racism must be a fundamental part of our community-building.  Silver Lake is an LGBTQ+ positive space.
