New Year’s Camp

A Reminder About Our No Cell Phone Policy for Camper Events: We will be continuing our no cell phone policy for this event, so please ensure that your son/daughter does not bring their phone to camp. If they do, we will safely lock it up in our office and return it to them at the time of check-out.

InterVarsity’s Pioneer Camp Alberta cannot guarantee to be a nut/peanut free environment. We do seek to reduce the risk of exposure and therefore do not use or serve peanuts, peanut products or tree nuts on camp property. Nuts or products containing nuts will not be available in our Tuck Shop(s). However, the food we purchase may contain traces of nut products. Please do not bring any food items with you to camp that contain nut products (this includes chocolate bars, granola bars, etc.). Any items containing nut products will be removed from the camp.

*Schedule provided is a sample only. Schedules are weather dependent and may be adjusted due to changing weather conditions or due to other camp needs as they arise.

1. If the camp is required to reduce enrolment in registration for any reason:
    
   • Priority registrations will be given by date of registration; those who have registered first will retain their spot at New Year’s Camp.
   • Once we have reached our weekly capacity for participants/staff onsite, a waitlist will be set up and the applicant will be placed on it. If there are sessions that are not full and that the participant is eligible to attend, your registration can be moved to one of those sessions.
2. In the event that a camp event is cancelled for any reason, the camp will issue a refund for the value of the fees of the unexpired term.
3. If parent/guardian/participant chooses to withdraw their event registration, regular cancellation policies will be in effect.

Event Cancellation Policy

If you choose to cancel more than two weeks prior to the start of the event, you will receive the below refunds:

• Cancellations will receive a full refund less the $50/person non-refundable deposit processed at the time of registration.
   

If a cancellation occurs less than two weeks before the start of the event, there will be NO REFUND except for medical reasons confirmed by a note from a doctor. In that case, you will receive a full refund less the $50/person/retreat non-refundable deposit processed at the time of registration.

No refund will be made for dismissals due to disciplinary action, late arrivals, or early departures.

If a participant is unwell while at camp, and it is determined that withdrawal from the event is required, the camp will credit the participant the value of fees for the unexpired term. Depending on availability, the participant can use their credit to rebook the participant in an alternate current session when they are back to full health.

If this is not possible, the camp will issue a refund for the value of the unexpired term or credit the participant for a future event or camp session.
