Registration Cancellation Policy

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 Pioneer Women’s Weekend. Once we have reached our event 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
  • 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.

Nut/Peanut Policy

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.

Speaker's Bio

 

Meet our Speaker: Barb Snyder

 

Barb Snyder is a woman who loves Jesus and has a gift for welcoming others with a disarming sense of acceptance and joy. Barb’s connection with Pioneer began as a camper at age 9. Barb attributes her leadership skills to the privilege of working along side amazing mentors at Pioneer, and the opportunity for many different roles at Sr Girls Camp and IV Alberta. After co-directing Sr Girls Camp, Barb’s focus shifted to women’s ministry and since then she has enjoyed leading Inductive Bible Studies for the women in her church. Barb also co-directs a Quilt Retreat held twice yearly at Pioneer Lodge.

 

Barb is an avid reader, loves to walk and spend time with her family – her husband Floyd, their two married children and spouses and five grand children. Barb’s faith is anchored in her daily reading and reflection on scripture, providing insight and direction for prayer and living out her faith with family, friends, and community.

 

Come and grow your faith and be mutually encouraged as Barb draws insight and applications from stories in the bible and walking with Jesus.

Worship Leader's Bio

 

Meet our Worship Leader: Monika with a “K”

 

Growing up with the dream of being a performer on stage, the dream didn’t become reality until late 1980, when Monika started singing in a little Irish Pub for open mike once a week. She sang with musician Billy Harper quite often and within the year, began doing gigs on her own. She has released 5 singles, including Until Tonight, Fantasy and I Forgot to Tell My Heart. Monika has been the recipient of several awards from the Country Music Association of Calgary, as well as being named for a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Alberta Men and Women of Country Music.

 

Monika has a heart for God and often leads worship at her church and has accepted invitations to lead at other churches. She has also performed at cowboy churches all over central Alberta. She has been teaching singing and guitar to young musicians in Alberta for 25 years and has a studio in Carstairs. She loves to share what she has learned over the years with up-and-coming artists.
