    Can I cancel and what will happen if I do?


    We understand that plans can change. Here’s the information regarding cancellations and refunds:

    1. Non-Refundable Deposit: A deposit of $50/person is required at the time of registration and is non-refundable.
    2. Cancellation Before June 15: If you cancel your registration before June 15, the $50/person deposit will be retained, and all other fees paid will be fully refunded.
    3. Cancellation Between June 15 and Two Weeks Before Camp: If you cancel between June 15 and two weeks prior to the start of camp, 50% of the base fee will be retained, and the remaining balance will be refunded.
    4. Cancellation Within Two Weeks of Camp: If you cancel within two weeks of the camp start date, 100% of the base fee will be retained. However, any program option fees, store tabs, and t-shirt costs will be refunded. In cases of family emergency or illness*, all fees except the $50/person deposit will be refunded. 

    *Contagious Illness Protocol: In an effort to keep our campers and staff happy and healthy, Camp Caroline has a contagious illness protocol. The communal living environment of summer camp brings an increased risk for spread of contagious illnesses (e.g. influenza, chicken pox, pink eye, COVID 19, etc.). Staff and campers who have experienced symptoms of contagious illness in the days prior to the start of camp are asked to remain at home until no longer contagious. Campers who reveal symptoms of contagious illness upon arrival at camp or who develop these symptoms while at camp will be isolated from other campers and staff, and parents will be asked to take them home. Camp fees or a pro-rated portion thereof will be refunded in the case of cancellation or early departure due to illness.

    Is there a scholarship fund for those who can’t afford a week of camp?

    We don’t want to see anyone miss out on the opportunity to experience a week at camp!  If you or your child would not be able to attend summer camp without financial assistance, you are welcome to apply to the Camp Caroline Scholarship Fund, a fund into which many generous Camp Caroline supporters have donated, helping to make the camp experience available to as many as possible.  

    Because we want to be good stewards of the funds God has entrusted to us through these generous donors, we have put the following Scholarship Fund guidelines in place:

    1. The Scholarship Fund is intended only to cover a portion of the camp fees for a camper.
    2. All campers are required to pay the minimum $50/camper deposit to hold their spot.
    3. Additional camp option costs (outtrips, camp store, t-shirts, etc.) are not covered by the Scholarship Fund.
    4. Campers who have received a scholarship may only attend one camp session per year.
    5. While we would love to provide continual scholarship funding for a camper year after year, priority will be given to first time applicants.  Returning campers are welcome to apply, but financial assistance is not guaranteed.
    6. All personal information gathered through the Camp Caroline Scholarship Fund Application will be governed by Camp Caroline’s Protection of Privacy Policy.  Scholarship Fund applicants can view this policy on our website, www.campcaroline.ab.ca/privacy-policy/.

    For more information on how to apply, see the "Scholarship Fund" page of the “Family Profile Form” during online registration. All requests will be carefully considered.

    Need further help in paying for camp?


    Here are our best hints to help pay for camp:

    1. Your Camper(s): Have your child(ren) think of some creative ideas to earn money for camp. Set a specific, realistic goal, perhaps $50 or $100. Ideas could include having a garage sale, and making and selling homemade jewelry and/or crafts. Let your child(ren) get creative! Send us your success stories of ways your family has earned money for camp!
    2. Extended Family: Probably one of our best tips. For birthdays and/or holidays, ask grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to give money for your child to put in their camp fund.  Coming up with new gift ideas can sometimes be tough, so ask for the gift of camp! (It may also be helpful to have your child share with them the value of camp and what it means to them.)
    3. Your Home Church: Talk to your church about possibly contributing to your camp costs.  Chances are, your church has seen the huge positive effect camp has had on other families within the church. Let them know that you are trying to come up with creative ways to pay for camp, tell them about your plan to come up with money, and see if they would like to be involved.
    4. Camp Scholarship: The Camp Caroline scholarship application is available as part of your online registration. All applications will be prayerfully considered. Please see our Scholarship Fund Policy for more information.
    5. Pray for God to provide the funds needed for your family to attend camp.


    What does a typical day look like?

    Mornings:
    After a shared family time of worship, children are dismissed for age-appropriate activities while parents spend part of the morning digging into God’s word with our Guest speakers. Children’s activities include playing wide games, Archery Tag, and swimming – all the while being taught faith principles through Christian example and Bible teaching. The remainder of the morning lends itself well to relaxing with a little free time.

    Afternoons:
    Experience our property to the fullest with your family! We have trained staff facilitating our program areas all afternoon, so now is your chance to make the most of our 320 acres! Swim in our indoor pool, climb our high ropes courses, fly on our giant swing, play in our gym, ride our quad zip line, hike our many trails, or just play board games in our dining hall or lounge. Our afternoons also include activity options you can sign up for, including horseback riding, crafts, canoeing, hiking, archery tag, whitewater rafting (nine years and older), and laser tag.

    Evenings: 
    A key staple of our great evenings is our classic Camp Caroline-wide games. Track down staff and complete challenges in “Where’s Waldo?” or compete with other families in “Capture the Flag.”

    Following the game is a time that has quickly become many families' favorite part. An evening spent around a campfire all together as a family singing silly songs, worshipping together and diving deeper into the Bible! 

    When can we sign up for activity options?

    For Summer 2025, we will be providing the opportunity to register your family for program activities prior to your arrival. Pre-registration for activity options will open in the spring; rather than as a part of your initial registration.

    Closer to summer, you will receive an email with all the information needed to pre-register your family for whichever exciting activities you prefer. Activity sign-up will also continue to take place on the Sunday evening of your first day at camp should you decide not to pre-register.
