​ UPDATED FOR 2024 

Registration

​

Admission of new applicants will be granted on a first come first served basis. Enrolment of all applicants is subject to space availability. Applicants who are not enrolled will be placed on a waiting list.​ Camp Solelim reserves in its sole discretion, the right to depart from the acceptance procedures listed above to serve the best interests of the camp. Completion of the initial application does not guarantee acceptance into camp. Parents/Guardians must pay their deposit and complete all required forms in order to be eligible for enrolment. Families will be sent an email confirming their enrolment within 5-10 business days of completing the full registration process (includes deposit and all required forms). Campers are admitted into camp on a first come first served basis, based on completed registrations only. 

 

Camp Solelim reserves the right to refuse any camper to attend camp at its discretion prior to the camper’s arrival at camp and cancelling such camper’s registration should it be of the view that the presence of such camper at the camp poses a health, behavioural or safety risk to such camper or to other campers and/or staff.

Financial Terms

​

This application is to be accompanied by a $800 deposit. This deposit includes a non-refundable $300 registration fee. If the camper withdraws or their application is cancelled for any reason, the following policies will apply:

​

• Withdrawal/cancellation before Jan.1: Deposit will be refunded less registration fee

• Withdrawal/cancellation between Jan. 1 and Feb. 28: $800 (full deposit) will be forfeited

• Withdrawal/cancellation between Mar. 1 and May 31: $2500 will be forfeited

• Withdrawal/cancellation after Jun. 1: full fee will be forfeited

​​

Camp fees shall be paid as follows:

​

• $800.00 deposit with application;

• $50% of fees by January 15th;

• Balance by April 15th.

 

Monthly and customized payment instalments can be arranged. Scholarship applications are due in December, with scholarships awarded in January. No camper will be permitted to attend camp unless all camp fees have been paid in full by June 7th.

 

In the event of a payment returned unpaid, an NSF cheque, or a declined payment, there will be a $100 service charge and all future payments for any outstanding amounts will have to be in the form of either cash, e-transfer or a certified cheque. 

Camp Solelim is a non-profit organization whose costs for food, staff and program are fixed; these commitments remain essentially the same regardless of camper attendance. Therefore, we cannot issue credits or refunds for an incomplete session for any reason including, but not limited to: absence, illness, cancellation, family vacations, special events, inclement weather, acts of G-d, or early withdrawal of a camper.​

Camp Solelim provides camper lists, which include the name, email and telephone numbers of campers and parents/guardians, to its associate camp, Camp Biluim, for the purpose of providing your child with the opportunity of continuing in the Canadian Young Judaea camping system.

 

Camp Solelim also provides its campers with the names, telephone numbers and emails of other campers should they wish to communicate once the camp season has ended.

Full Disclosure

​

The parent(s)/guardian(s) attest(s) that their child is healthy and socially and emotionally ready for a resident summer camp experience.

If the camper must leave camp as a result of any medical, mental health, social-emotional or behavioural issue which was not disclosed on the camp's forms, or for an issue which the parent(s)/guardian(s) failed to outlined in writing if the issue surfaced over the period of time that camp received the forms and camp began, none of the camp fee will be refunded.

Each camper must be covered by provincial health insurance or international medical insurance. In the event that a camper requires special medication, examination or treatment (including dental work) beyond that which is available at Camp, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified promptly and will be charged any additional expenses related to treatment and/or medication. In case of an emergency, every effort will be made to contact the parent(s)/guardian(s).
