We are eagerly looking forward to summer camp in 2021. We are planning for an exciting summer of outdoor activities, camp events and friendship connections for campers.

 
While preparations are underway, we are delaying opening registration until we can be confident that we can offer safe programs in line with public health best practices. We anticipate a joyful summer and can’t wait to see camper families after a long time apart.

 
Applications for financial assistance will also be delayed until registration is open. Dates for early bird pricing and other discounts may be adjusted. Stay tuned for updates!

CAMPER SCHOLARSHIPS ARE PART OF WHO WE ARE!

 

Pioneer Camp wants every child to have a summer camp experience so we have some options and ideas available for campers who would not otherwise be able to attend our camp.

Scheduled Payments

  • Camp offers the benefit of payment plans that help spread out the cost of camp over several months. Payment plan will be calculated at the time of registration. For customized payment plans (on dates different than listed below) please contact our office. All registration fees are to be paid in full by June 1st.
  • Interest Free!
  • Spread out the payments! Pay the minimum deposit with the balance owing divided into monthly instalments on the first of every month up to June 1st.
  • Register now with minimum deposit, balance post-dated on credit card June 1st.

New Friend Rebate or Credit

If you are inviting a friend to camp who has never been before, you may be eligible for a rebate or credit toward your camp fee.
 
BRING A FRIEND

Ask your Church

Talk to your church about possibly contributing to your child’s camp costs. Many churches provide benefits and financial assistance for families who want to send their children to Christian camps. Chances are your church has seen the huge positive effect camp has had on other children within the church. Let them know that you are trying to come up with creative ways to pay for camp, tell them about your plan to come up with money, and see if they would like to be involved. We often partner our resources with churches to help children come to camp.

Scholarships

We don’t want to see anyone miss out on the opportunity to experience a week at camp! If you or your child would not be able to attend summer camp without financial assistance, you are welcome to apply to InterVarsity’s Pioneer Camp Alberta Scholarship Fund, a fund into which many generous Pioneer Camp supporters have donated, helping to make the camp experience available to as many as possible.

 

Because we want to be good stewards of the funds God has entrusted to us through these generous donors, we have put the following Scholarship Fund guidelines in place:

 

1. All campers are required to pay the minimum $30 to $100 deposit to hold their spot. (Day Camp: $30, Family Camp: $50. All other camp sessions require a $100 deposit.)

2. The Scholarship Fund is intended only to cover a portion of the camp fees for a camper.

3. Additional camp option costs (Tuck deposits, transportation fees, etc.) and taxes are not covered by the Scholarship Fund.

4. Campers who have received a scholarship may only attend one camp session per year.

5. All personal information gathered through the Pioneer Camp Alberta Scholarship Fund Application will be governed by Inter-Varsity Fellowship of Canada’s Protection of Privacy Policy. Scholarship Fund applicants can view this policy on our website, https://ivcf.ca/privacy-policy/

 
Application Deadline: June 30
 

For more information on how to apply, see the Scholarship Application Form during online registration. All requests will be carefully considered.
