Registration
For each child going to Discovery, Teen, or Service Weeks the fee is $250. For the Sprouts Camp the cost is $127.50 for each child. The fee for Wilderness Camp is $290. Cheques must be made payable to "Campfire!". All prices do not include GST or PST.

In the spirit of the early church, we have instituted a suggested fee policy. All contributions greater or less than the suggested amount will be gratefully accepted as payment of the participation fee. Let each of us consider what we have not to be our own, but a gift from our Father, for the benefit of all. No child will be turned away if a family does not have the means to pay the fee. The camp or another individual will cover the child's cost. Please note that Canada Revenue Agency does not allow the payment of registration fees to qualify as a charitable donation, even if made on behalf of a non-family member. Accordingly, a payment receipt will be issued to you confirming payment of registration and transportation fees. You may wish to consult with your tax advisor whether such payment can qualify as a childcare expense for income tax purposes.
Registration is open as of April 5th. The two forms are available together for download below. Both must be filled out and mailed in. Please print the forms one-sided only
