Deposit and Fees
A $400 deposit per session is required with the application; the balance of the fees is due April 1st. An application withdrawn prior to March 30th receives a full refund less a $200 administrative charge per session. Cancellation after March 30th may result in no refund, except in the event of illness (explained by a Doctor’s certificate) which prevents the camper from attending. In such a case, an administrative charge of $400 per session is not refunded. There is no refund or reduction in fees for late arrival, early departure or absence from camp.
Where more than one family member attends, a 5% discount applies to the second and subsequent campers.
Fees may be paid by cheque, VISA or MasterCard. If paying by VISA or MasterCard, you may choose to have the balance of the fees due on April 1st and/or your camper(s) incidental (tuck) expenses charged to the card on file. A receipt will be sent by mail after the session concludes if you choose either of these options. Please complete the necessary payment details on the application form.
The camp fee includes laundry, a section photo and all aspects of the tripping program. An accumulated list is kept of small expenses during camp. This account includes: swimming/lifesaving awards, stamps, candy, clothing etc. The invoice/receipt for these expenses and transportation and riding is sent soon after the session concludes.
Final DetailsCampers and parents need to provide further information in the spring, including cabin mate requests, health information and transportation options. Chartered buses will be available for camper travel from Toronto, Barrie, Gravenhurst and return. The camper forms may be completed online through our online system. Please indicate on the application form whether you would like to receive and complete these forms online or by postal mail. If you choose online, further communication will be sent by email only.
Two-week Sessions for Campers Ages 8-11Glen Bernard will offer two two-week sessions for campers ages 8 to 11 in the 2012 season. These sessions are for campers who are new to GBC or young returning campers who wish a two-week option. Campers must be entering grade 3, 4, 5 or 6 in September 2012 to be eligible. New and returning campers ages 8-11 also have the option of the two-week session in August or either of the three-week sessions.
One Week SessionsTwo one-week sessions are offered in the 2012 season for campers ages 6 & 7. Spaces are limited to keep group sizes small. These one-week sessions provide an introduction to the camp program and activities. Campers will stay in cabins and participate in a wide variety of activities including some of the all camp programs.
Camp Leadership Program
Campers who have completed Canadian grade 10 (or the equivalent outside Canada) will be participating in a leadership program (the Pacer Program) which focuses on skill development and teaching techniques in camp activities. This program is a leadership development opportunity and especially valuable for those who wish to be considered for GBC Assistant Counsellor positions the following summer. Campers attending either of the three-week sessions have the opportunity to earn an Ontario Ministry of Education grade 11 Guidance credit, Leadership and Peer Support (GPP30).
Period 3 Special ProgramsThe majority of Period 3 campers take the regular camp program. However, in Period 3, there are two unique programs in either Theatre (for campers entering grade 8 and above) or the Wilderness Canoe Trip (for campers entering grade 9 and above). There is a limited enrollment in these two options, in addition a minimum number is required to proceed with the program. If the program option chosen is not available, you will be notified well before Period 3 begins.
