- If additional parents / guardians will be picking up the camper(s) during the week & add them to the list.

Changes can be made at check-in but it’s best if you email ahead of time. Groups are made by Friday of the previous week so please give us as much notice as possible.
What if my child is absent for a day?
If your child is sick or absent for any camp day, it is best to email our admin team at summercamp@bluemountain.ca as early as possible. We will notify your counsellors of the absence.
Unfortunately, refunds and make-up days will not be offered for missed days.
