Important Camp Choice BC Policies – Please Read Carefully:
To ensure a safe and positive experience for all, the following rules and procedures are strictly enforced:
1. Zero Tolerance Policy: No drugs, alcohol, vaping products, or weapons of any kind. Possession or use of these items will result in immediate dismissal from camp.
2. Bag Checks & Metal Detector Screening: All youth will undergo bag checks and walk-through metal detector screening upon arrival. Camp Choice BC reserves the right to inspect personal belongings at any time during camp.
3. Lice Check on Arrival: Every camper will be checked for lice upon check-in. Any camper found to have lice will not be allowed to stay at camp until properly treated.
4. Cell Phone Policy: Camp is a device-free zone. All phones and electronics will be collected upon arrival and returned at the end of camp. This helps campers stay present, build deeper connections, and fully engage in the experience. If a camper needs to contact home for any reason, access to a phone will be provided by a coach.
We are proud to offer Camp Choice BC at no cost to the families or the youths, thanks to the support of generous donors and community partners. This is a selective application process, and we encourage applicants to complete the attached application and permission forms with care.
