SBCkids camp expects all kids to 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 your child will be absent, please notify SBCkids camp staff by calling or emailing (kidsadmin@summerlandbaptist.ca). It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that their child gets signed in at the beginning of camp. You will not be notified if your child is absent from the program.

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 symptoms of COVID-19, the parent will be contacted and the camper will need to be immediately picked up.

Anywhere from 20-30 campers per day.

1 Highschooler to no more than 7 kids. There are 4 high school leaders leading the camp. Bree Young (Pastor of Children and Families, Bachelor of Education) oversees the high School leader.

All items left behind at camp are laid out daily for campers to look through the next day.
