2. How do I register my child for camp?

Faith Bible Camp uses an online registration system, which opens on Sunday, January 14th, at 3:00 p.m. If you would prefer to register with a paper form, please contact our Administrative Office.

3. Can I register my child for more than one camp session?

Yes. However, if Public Health Guidelines dictate a limited number of people per session, our policy may change.

4. Do you have a waiting list?

Yes. We encourage placing your child on our waiting list if prompted to do so. There is no deposit required for placement on our waiting list, and our Administrative Office will contact you when a spot becomes available.

5. Do you have financial assistance available for sending children to camp?

Upon approval, a limited amount of funds is available to assist families who are unable to pay for part or all the camp fees. Please contact our Administrative Office for details and how to apply.

6. My child has special needs; can they attend camp?

In most situations, we can host campers with special needs. There are a limited number of placements available for each camp session. Please register your child and provide detailed information on their needs and requirements. Our Administrative Office will contact you to discuss your registration.

7. Do you have medical staff on-site?

A Camp Health Officer is on-site during each camp session. The health and care of your child are important to us. If your child has any medical or medication requirements, please ensure to provide full details on your registration or by contacting the Administrative Office. If required, the Pine Falls Hospital is 30 minutes from the campsite, and the Selkirk Regional Health Centre is 50 minutes.

8. Can my child request to be with a friend?

Every effort is made to honour up to two cabinmate requests per camper when they are within one year of age of each other and registering for the same camp session. Both friends must request each other, and a maximum of three friends per cabin may be granted to ensure a healthy cabin dynamic.

9. How does your pick-up procedure work? Who can pick up my child?

Please attempt to reschedule all appointments and prior commitments that conflict with a camper’s registered camp session. To keep Faith Bible Camp a safe place for your child, all visitors must be signed in and out during the camp session. The name of the pick-up person, either at the campsite or Kilcona Park Alliance Church, will be asked during registration/check-in. If this person changes during the camp session, please contact the Administrative Office.

10. When will my child receive their acceptance letter?

We do our best to send out an acceptance package by email or mail within 10 business days of receiving the registration. Please contact us if you do not receive an acceptance package within this time. If your child is on a waiting list for their preferred session, we will be in contact with you if a spot becomes available. Faith Bible Camp will not hold your child’s spot without registration, deposit or confirmation of alternative funding.

11. When do I pay the outstanding balance?

All camper fees must be paid in full by June 30th. To pay your balance, you may use a credit card by logging in to your online Active account. To pay by cash or cheque, please stop by our Administrative Office during Office hours or send payment in the mail. Please ensure that the balance is paid by June 30th.

12. How do you care for campers who feel homesick?

Our cabin leaders and other staff are trained to deal with homesick campers and are generally able to assist them by distracting them with the many fun activities at camp. If this does not work, your child may be allowed to call home in an attempt to encourage them to stay. If your child is struggling, we may call you to see what you recommend because sometimes, having a camper call home makes it harder for them to stay. If this does not remedy the situation, the parent or guardian will be asked to pick up their child at the campsite at a time arranged by the Director. In this situation, the camper will not be able to return to camp that week, nor will any refund be provided.

13. How can I see what my child is doing while at camp?

During your camper’s stay, we have a team dedicated to capturing the fun through photos and video. These can be seen on our social media platforms.

14. Can I communicate with my child while they are at camp?

To provide the best experience and help prevent homesickness, we discourage direct contact with your child during their week of camp. If you have any concerns or a time-sensitive message for them, please contact our Camp Site to speak with the Director at 204-756-2841.

16. Will my child need money at camp?

Our program costs are included in the camp fee, so your child does not need to bring any money. In addition to each camper receiving a free t-shirt, we will host an online pop-up store several times during the year to purchase various FBC garments and promotional products for yourself or others.
