Camp registrations may be done online, however all changes and cancellations must be processed through the camp office. Registration forms received in the camp office will be processed on a first come, first served basis, although camp staff will not be able to guarantee availability due to continuous online activity.

On the first day of camp your child will bring home a letter from the director of the camp for which he or she is registered. This letter will contain the director’s telephone extension, swim days and program specific information.

The confirmation letter you printed off at the time of registration, or received in the mail, serves as your receipt for income tax purposes.

All cancellations must be made in writing (fax, email or letter) to the Summer Camp Office.

Refunds, less a $25 administrative charge per child/per week, will be issued up to 2 weeks prior to the first day of a camp session. Refunds are NOT available within the 2 week period prior to the start of a session.

Refunds for medical reasons are available only upon receipt of a doctor's note in the Summer Camps Office.

Pro-rated refunds are not available for days absent, meals not taken or other services not fully utilized. The full session’s fees are due and payable if a child is registered and attends any part of a session.  

Transfer requests must be made in writing to the Camp Office and are subject to a $25 administrative fee per transfer, per child.

We maintain strict registration and attendance procedures to help ensure the safety and security of all participants and to properly track each child’s personal and medical information.

All campers must check in upon arrival and be checked out by their director at the end of the day.

Please telephone your child’s camp director if he or she will be late or absent. (The number will be provided to you on the first day.) If you know in advance that your child will be absent for part of a session, please inform the director immediately. If the phones are busy, your call will be sent to voice mail. Please leave a message.

About 800 participants arrive at UCC Summer Camps each day, at both Upper Canada College and The Bishop Strachan School. We need your help to ensure the safety and security of all registered children. Please read the following information carefully.

You may drop your child off after 8:30 a.m. Our staff are prepared to greet and care for them at that time. Camps begin at 9 a.m. and extend until 4 p.m. each weekday, including statutory holidays.

Traffic is one way only in many locations. Drive safely, slowly and watch for children at all times.

There are seven drop-off and pick-up locations around the UCC Campus. All vehicles entering the College grounds MUST use either the west entrance off Forest Hill Road or the north entrance off Kilbarry Road (except those destined for Jr. Landsports Camp, in which case the small driveway off Forest Hill Rd., just north of Lonsdale, should be used). Vehicles entering the main driveway from Forest Hill Road must travel in one direction only and exit on Lonsdale Road. Please do not enter off Lonsdale The Kilbarry Road entrance should be used for those registered in Baseball, Senior Soccer, Golf and the Leadership Training Program. All other camps at the UCC site use the Forest Hill Road entrances.

A shuttle bus service is provided for participants in Golf Camp. The drop-off and pick-up location is at the UCC Campus, accessible from the north entrance off Kilbarry Road. The bus leaves promptly at 8 a.m. and returns by 4 p.m. daily.

At the end of each session, unclaimed articles at the UCC site will be moved to the general Lost and Found, located on the second floor of the Arena just outside the Camp Office. At the BSS site, the general Lost and Found will be outside the Gym. At the end of the summer all remaining articles are donated to a charity.
