TIPS FOR A SMOOTH REGISTRATION PROCESS

Pre Camp Communication

Prior to the start of each session, we send out an email that has all the information you need to know before your child arrives at camp. This email is typically sent around 2 weeks before the start of the session (this can vary by a few days depending on what is going on at camp that week!). The email will be sent to both parents/guardians listed on the account as completed during registration.

This email will include information like arrival and departure details, updating medical information, packing list, sending mail to camp, and more!

Changing weeks

We are happy to make a switch of camp sessions provided there is room in the session/week that you prefer. Refund will not be issued in the event of a lower program fee or if there are no options to accommodate a switch. See Cancellation Policy below for more information. Please contact the office at fun@slmc.ca to inquire about availability.
