answers
 

Can I register by phone?
No. Campers usually register using our secure online registration system.  If you do not wish to use online registration, we can send out an application form.  We require signed documents to process registration.

Do I have to pay by Visa or MasterCard to register online?
No. You have two options when registering online: Visa or Mastercard or you can mail in a cheque. Paying by cheque will delay the processing of your camp application since registration is not "secured" until full payment is received.

Does Pioneer Ranch Camps accept alternate payment plans?
Alternate payment option is only applicable if you are applying for bursary.

What is spending money used for?
Pioneer operates a "tuck shop" where campers can purchase a limited amount of candy and pop, as well as camp t-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, toques, water bottles, Bibles, etc. Clothing prices range from $15-$25 for t-shirts to about $45 for hoodies.

Spending money amounts are optional, but we suggest $20 to $30 per camper for a one week camp. A smaller amount would be adequate, of course, if your child does not want to purchase an article of clothing.

We ask that parents include payment for spending money with the camper's registration as it helps us to this detail taken care of before the very busy 1st day of camp! Spending money is credited to a "tuck account" for you child, deductions are made when your child makes a purchase and any unspent amount is transferred to our bursary program unless otherwise specified.

What is Pioneer Ranch Camps refund policy?

If cancellation is made:

  1. More than one month prior to the start of camp, you will receive full refund less $50 administration fee
  2. One month to two weeks prior to the start of camp, you will receive full refund less $100/week administration fee.
  3. Less than two weeks prior to the start of camp, NO REFUND (includes camp fees, out-trip fees, and transportation fees)  except for medical reasons with a note from a doctor- full refund less $100/week administration fee.

No refund will be made for dismissals due to disciplinary action, late arrivals or early departures. Withdrawal during camp on physician’s orders - will result in the value of fees for the unexpired term being refunded.

What chance does my child have of making it in if they're on the wait list?
We have lots of movement on our waitlist every year, but it's hard to say exactly what your chances are because it's completely dependant on something happening to one of the 80+ families who have their child registered for camp. We certainly have many campers who make it in after being on the waitlist.
