A confirmation of your camp dates will be sent within three weeks of registration. If you do not receive your confirmation within this time, please email blarsen@heritagepark.ca.

A more detailed camp information package, including behaviour policies, a participation waiver and a medical form will be sent closer to the start of camp.

Costumes

As part of the unique and historical experience of our camps, all campers are loaned a historically accurate costume that must be worn each day of camp. 

All pieces must be returned and in good condition on the last day of camp or you may be charged a damage fee.

Cancellations and Transfers

If you need to cancel your registration, Heritage Park will issue a full refund (minus a $100 administration fee) provided you cancel at least three weeks prior to the start of the booked camp. No refunds will be issued after that time.

Transfers will be permitted up to two weeks before the start of the camp, subject to availability.

We are unable to pro-rate the cost of camp if your child needs to miss any day(s).
