If you selected extended hours, you can drop off your child at 8:30am and pick them up at 4:30pm. Extended hours are $5 per day, per child.

Arriving more than 15 minutes late for pick-up will incur an additional $5 charge per child per 15-minute increment.  

A refund, less a $20 administration fee, will be available for customers up to 14 days prior to camp start. If registration occurs less than 14 days prior to the start of camp, a refund is not available. Cancellations occurring less than 14 days prior to the start of the camp will receive no refund or credit. 

For programs and activities cancelled by The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, refunds will be issued. Cancellations and refund requests should be received in writing to the Program Coordinator at education@bushplane.com. 

Every camper has the right to feel safe in any recreation program. When behavior issues arise or challenges present themselves, we resolve them on an individual basis. All campers are responsible for conducting themselves in accordance with our Participant Code of Conduct: 

• Show respect and consideration for staff, instructors, leaders in training, volunteers, and other participants in the program. 
• Be cooperative and willing to participate in programs with the understanding that all participants have varying abilities. 
• Respect the rules and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants. 
• Include others in activities when possible. 
• Play without bullying or teasing others. 
• Use equipment safely and appropriately. 
• Use appropriate language. 
• Adhere to a “hands-off” expectation by not touching or making physical contact with other participants, staff, instructors, leaders in training and volunteers. 

Behaviours that are not tolerated: 

• Physical aggression – behavior causing or threatening physical harm towards others. 
• Damaging property – deliberate behavior aimed at destroying, altering or defacing property and/or public spaces. 
• Inappropriate language – any language considered impolite, rude, or offensive. 
• Social behavior – any behavior that aims to use social power over another program participant(s), staff, instructor(s), leader(s) in training and volunteer(s).  

The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre, its instructors and partners reserve the right to dismiss a participant without warning if, in their opinion, the participant compromises the physical and emotional safety of themselves, other participants, staff, instructors, leaders in training and volunteers or has failed to cooperate with any rules or code of conduct. The parent/guardian will be notified immediately by phone and is expected to pick up their child as soon as possible.  

It is important that campers attending The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre Summer Camps are “program ready” to ensure the best possible experience for all campers while at camp. Our goal is to ensure the safety of all campers at any given time.  

While the CBHC endeavours to provide quality education and care to children with a variety of needs, our staff are not equipped or trained to handle developmental and behavioural challenges. To ensure a positive and supportive experience for all campers, we kindly ask that any support workers accompanying a child remain on-site for the full duration of the camp day.

Please make your sure your child is ready for camp by confidently answering “yes” to the below questions:  

• The child can take instruction from a staff person and participate in planned activities. 
• The child can perform daily activities (such as using the washroom) without a known guardian present and not having regular activities. 
• The child feels comfortable interacting in a group environment, to the best of their ability. 
• The child can participate in a way that is safe for themselves and others. 

Children at camp who are not ready may be withdrawn at supervisory staff’s discretion. 

• Backpack. 
• Lunch and snacks.
• An extra set of clothing.  
• Required medication (prescription only). 
• A peanut/nut free lunch and snacks. 
• A reusable water bottle. 
• Hat. 
• Sunscreen. 
• Closed toe indoor shoes. 
• Outdoor footwear/clothing appropriate for the weather. 

Our Safe Arrival and Dismissal Policy ensures that children are only released into the care of their parent/guardian or into the care of an individual designated by the parent/guardian at the time of registration. 

Families may add individuals to the list at any time by contacting the Program Coordinator, education@bushplane.com 

Parents, guardians, and caregivers must sign their children in and out daily, and present photo I.D. when picking up their camper to ensure campers are released to the appropriate caregiver. 

For the safety of all campers, we ask that all staff and participants refrain from bringing peanuts and other nut products into camp.  

While we discourage participants and staff from bringing peanut and nut products to programs, campers and their families must be aware that our facilities are not peanut and nut-free. Items in our store, kitchen, facility, etc. may contain peanut and nut products. 

Some camp activities involve pre-packaged snacks or treats. Parents of campers with food allergies will be notified before camp starts to ensure activities are safe for their child. Additionally, all special treats given to campers by camp staff (i.e., popsicles, popcorn) are all purchased from nut-free facilities. 

Pictures and videos are taken daily at all camps. Photos and videos are used for the promotion of programs on municipal and partner social media platforms, websites, and print promotions.  At the time of registration, please indicate if you do not want your child’s photo used in any publications. 

We ask that campers leave their electronic devices at home for the duration of camp. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is not responsible for lost or stolen items. 

Campers are asked not to attend camps if they show signs and symptoms of contagious illnesses or communicable diseases including COVID-19. Masks are not mandatory, but always welcome.  

Camps will run rain or shine! 

In the event of inclement weather, (i.e. an expected storm) camp participants will be notified by email of any changes.  

Ensure your email is up to date on the registration form.
