Thank you for choosing SABC!

We are very excited for camp this summer and look forward to having your child here with us. We want to assure you we take our responsibility seriously. We hope this section will help answer some of your questions. If you can’t find what you need here please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our Staff

We are already praying for a strong and dynamic staff team. Prior to any staff member arriving we require an in-depth application, three references and criminal record check. Staff must also sign their full agreement with our values and code of conduct. We also require First Aid Training for all cabin leaders and leadership staff.

Medical Needs

We have a Nurse or LPN on site for all camps. This nurse is responsible for administering all medications, checking cabins (so they aren’t a disaster) and taking care of all injuries. Please bring all prescription meds your child needs in a zip lock bag. Also, let us know if there are any medical conditions that may be affected by your child’s stay with us. We do provide basic medications (ie Tylenol, Benadryl, Gravol, etc.).

Accommodations

Your child will be staying in a cabin with 7 – 8 other campers and a cabin leader. The cabins all have bunk beds with mattresses. All you need is a sleeping bag and pillow. Any cabinmate requests must be received 14 days prior to camp starting.

Phone Calls and Homesickness

Homesickness is a very natural and common occurrence, in our experience, homesick periods are most prevalent at the beginning of the week and usually subside before mid-week. Since calling home often amplifies homesick emotions, our campers are not given permission to call home. If your camper continues to be homesick, we will contact you first so you can help us decide what to do. If you would like to chat with your child we suggest that you focus on the fun they are having and the sports and activities they are learning.

Cancellation Policy

If cancellation is made two weeks prior to Opening Day, all fees, less $40 deposit and any donation, will be refunded. No refund of camp fees will be given if cancellation occurs less than two weeks prior to session, except for medical reasons (doctor’s note is required). No refund will be given for dismissal due to disciplinary action, late arrival, or early departure.

Registration and Closing Day

All camps begin at 7:00pm on Opening Day. We can not accept early arrivals so please honor these times. The closing program for weekend camps begins at 1:00. Your child will be ready to go home by 1:30. The closing program for Fort camps starts at 6:30pm. Your child will be ready to go home by 7:00pm. For all other weekday camps the closing program starts at 6:00pm. Your child will be ready to go home by 6:30pm.

What To Bring

It is crucial that you label all clothing and items. There are lots of misplaced items. Items with a name on them are much easier to return to the owner.

Please do not bring any electrical devices (MP3/ CD players, cell phones or game and web devices). Electrical devices will be confiscated and returned at the end of the week.

Here’s what you need:

  • Sleeping bag and pillow
  • Clothing and toiletries
  • Runners and sandals
  • Swimsuit (modest) and towel
  • Sunscreen and hat (essential! – we do have some in our Tuck Shop)
  • Insect repellent
  • Rain jacket and boots (optional)
  • Water bottle (we do have some in our Tuck Shop)
  • Flashlight
  • Bible
  • Camp Dishes (FORT campers require a plate, bowl, cup and cutlery)
  • Pocket Knife (FORT campers do have opportunity to do some carving if they want) - we collect these knives and only use them in a controlled setting

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money should I put in my child’s Tuck Account?

We recommend that you put $4-$5.00 per day to a maximum of $30.00 per week in your child's Tuck Account. The camp store will be opened on Opening day if you would like to purchase t-shirts, waterbottles or other camp items.

How can I contact my child if there is an emergency?

To contact a camper in an emergency situation, please call the camp office at 403-792-3644. After hours you may need to leave a message but messages are checked periodically each evening.

How will I know if you received my registration?

We will send our confirmation package upon receipt of your registration (or, we will contact you if there is a waiting list). Please read through the confirmation information and contact us immediately if you have any questions. It is important that you mark info@sabc.ca in your address book so your confirmation package does not end up in your junk mailbox.

How do I get a receipt for my payment?

You will receive a receipt on the first day of camp (opening day) from your child’s counselor.

What kind of meals/snacks will my child get?

We offer nutritional, well balanced meals with lots of fruits and vegetables. If your child has special dietary concerns please note this on your application. Our dietary consultant will contact you the week prior if we have any questions. We work hard to accommodate special dietary needs.

How do I know if there is room for my child to come to camp?

To find out you can check our camp page on this website or call our office (403-792-3644).

Is there financial aid for families who can't afford the registration fees?

We never want to turn away a camper because of financial need. Please call us or mark campership on your application.

Can I come with my child to camp?

ABSOLUTELY! We always have places for parents to serve (in the kitchen, mowing lawns, driving boat, cleaning, building). We do ask that your child remain with his cabin leader at all times but we don’t have a problem with you being here.
