      • Camper Information

      • Friend/Sibling Request(s), if any

        Camp groups are divided into Ages: 4 - 6, 6 - 8, 8 - 11. WE LIKELY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE WIDE AGE/DEVELOPMENTAL GAPS (e.g. a 5 year old with a 7 year old). Each age group comes with unique interests and abilities. We most often accommodate all friend/sibling requests that are *reasonably* possible. We cannot guarantee your child will be in the same group with all their friends/siblings if there are too many friends/siblings listed, WIDE AGE GAPS, past examples of challenging/unsafe behaviour when they are together, or anything else. Please make a note if you want to prioritize siblings being together over any friend requests. Please do not email any friend/sibling requests if you have already listed them here. We will see them!!

      • Refund Policy

        !! NEW SINCE 2024: The amount of cancellations last year created a financial burden to the camp and also resulted in reduced work hours for our staff. We hate to do this, but we need to update our refund policy to protect the camp and our commitment to our staff. 50% refunds are accepted up to 28 days prior to the first day of camp. In other words, there will be a 50% penalty fee for cancellations made from the day you register up to 28 days before the first day of the camp session. Refunds will not be issued should a cancellation be made: (1) to a reservation within 4 weeks (28 calendar days) of the start of your registered session, and (2) to a reservation once your child(ren)'s registered session has already begun.

      • Tamarack Behaviour Policy

        The safety and well being of all campers and staff is our utmost priority. We ask our campers and staff to make sure in all their actions that they are caring for themselves, taking care of others, and taking care of their surroundings. This community well-being approach, is mentored through encouraging empathy and consideration. If and when conflict arises, we take the time as a group, to address the issues and look for resolutions.

      • Camper Dismissal Policy

        Our goal as a camp is to help all campers realize their full potential and enjoy a great March Break camp experience. Part of this is making sure everyone feels safe and supported. Depending on the degree of concern, a camper who threatens their own safety or the safety of others could be required to make a formal agreement with the group in general, which if broken could lead to limited participation or complete dismissal from the camp. In the case of a more serious concern, the camper may be asked to leave immediately.

      • General Permission Form

        I hereby give permission for my child(ren) to take part in field trips with Tamarack West March Break Camp involving walking or public transit in the Toronto area during March Break Camps.
