Summer Day Camp - Policies and details
Tuition and cancellation policies
Your first payment is required upon registration. Full payment must be completed by June 1, 2026.
Payment is in CAD, payable by cheque, credit card, or email transfer.
We understand that plans change! Registration cancellations made before June 1st, 2026 are eligible for a full tuition refund minus a $30 administration fee.
Families are responsible for the full amount of tuition if a cancellation is made after June 1st, 2026, except in cases of severe illness, injury, or family emergency.
It is not possible to make any tuition reduction for arriving late or leaving early.
There will be no refund if a camper is asked to leave during the session for an infraction of a camp rule, for disruptive behaviour, or if a camper is voluntarily withdrawn.
In the unlikely event that we must cancel a session, families will receive a full refund.
Health and safety
We’re committed to providing a safe and joyful environment for campers. All of our camp staff have completed a criminal record and vulnerable sector check and we will have multiple staff members on site certified in CPR/First Aid.
If a camper is unable to attend due to injury or illness, we will work with you to determine appropriate next steps.
We expect all campers to respect and follow our rules for health, safety and behaviour. If at any time our camp staff or administration deem a camper’s behaviour to be unsafe to themselves or others, we reserve the right to remove them from our program without possibility of refund.
Water safety
Limited lakefront and open water activities may be available to Senior campers. Any lake activity will be attended by a certified Open Water lifeguard, and a swim test will be required for each camper.
In most cases, we offer alternate water activities during hot weather, including slip n’ slides and sprinkler play.
Once per session, we host Family Swim Day, in which parents, guardians, and campers are welcome to use the dock and swim in the lake. Family Swim Day is after camp hours (4pm-6pm), meaning there is no lifeguard or camp staff on duty during this time. Neighbourhood Farm Schools/Bullock Lake Farm assumes no supervision responsibilities during Family Swim Day. Parents and guardians are solely responsible for the supervision and safety of their children during this time.
Parents and guardians must provide all necessary safety gear (lifejackets, etc.) for their camper.
Extreme weather conditions
We are dedicated to keeping everyone safe during extreme weather events (heat waves and other extreme conditions) and periods of poor air quality. While we have lots of fun activities planned, we are proactive in adapting our schedule and activities to ensure campers are safe, healthy, and happy in all weather.
Non-discrimination and accessibility
Neighbourhood Farm Schools does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, colour, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, family make-up, religion, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of its admissions policies, employment policies, programs and activities.
ummer Day Camp is hosted on a working farm! This means activities will take place in a variety of environments, from the gardens to animal pens to orchards and lakeside.
If your camper benefits from additional support, please let us know during registration. We are committed to making camp as accessible as possible and will collaborate with families to determine whether appropriate accommodations can be provided within our staffing capacity.
Campers are welcome to bring their own aides, translators, or other support people. Please contact our camp team at hello@neighbourhoodfarmschools.org with questions or concerns.
