Our camp policies are designed to help create a safe, respectful, welcoming, and positive experience for every camper, family, staff member, and volunteer. Here you’ll find important information about registration, cancellations, health and safety, behaviour expectations, electronics, medications, and other guidelines that help Lumsden Beach Camp run smoothly throughout the summer.
A non-refundable administration fee of $60.00 will be retained per camper per camp. If a camper withdraws from camp less than two weeks from the beginning of camp then 50% of the registration fee paid will be retained.
If a camper must withdraw for medical reasons a full refund (minus $60 admin fee) will be issued pending a doctor’s note. This refund will only apply if the request and note are provided prior to the start of their session.
Lumsden Beach Camp provides a safe and nurturing environment to our campers, volunteers and staff. Respect and trust are the most important elements of our camp experience. We ask that before you send your camper off to camp, please talk to them about respecting other campers, the staff, camp policies and the camp facilities. We reserve the right to contact the parent/guardian of any camper who refuses to respect other campers or staff. Abusive and/or inappropriate language and actions, harming campers or staff, and destruction of camp property are not tolerated. The camper will be sent home with no refund and potentially billed for damage caused to property.
All camper families must read and sign conditions of enrollment and the Over-the-Counter Medications Consent If possible, please be prepared for this at your camper’s drop off day.

Lumsden Beach Camp cannot guarantee a nut-free or allergen-free environment. We take reasonable steps to reduce exposure, but campers with life-threatening allergies attend at their own risk.
All allergies must be identified on the camper’s medical form. At check-in, the camp medical person will review the allergy with the camper and parent/guardian and create an appropriate response plan. Anaphylactic allergy plans will be shared with camp staff and documented.
Campers who use EPIPENS are strongly encouraged to bring two: one to keep with them and one with their counsellor. Staff will be informed of the proper procedure.
Campers must administer their own EPIPEN, though someone may assist them.
Any camper who experiences a serious allergic reaction must be seen by a physician and provide medical clearance before returning to camp.
Lumsden Beach Camp welcomes special need campers. Unfortunately, we are not equipped to handle wheelchair-bound children. If the child has special needs (i.e. ADHD, Downs Syndrome, physical or developmental disability, etc.) that may affect his/her time at camp you must inform us on your registration form. LBC is not responsible for finding or financing counsellors/personal attendants for special needs campers. A plan for your camper and personal attendant will be created in partnership with the camp director prior to the beginning of camp. A room and board fee of $15 per day will be charged for the personal attendant to cover the cost of food.
Registration typically opens March 1 each year. If that changes, we’ll make sure to post it here on our website, on our social media and send out an email newsletter.
Campers can be registered online (by clicking the registration button) or through a paper form mailed in. If you’d prefer paper, please email info@lumsdenbeachcamp.com
