Upon receiving your camper’s registration form, we will advise you of her acceptance or her place on the waiting list. Following acceptance, we will confirm her registration at Oconto. In the spring, we will send you an invoice, a suggested packing list, and an Important Camper Information Bulletin, detailing bus transportation and other pertinent information.

The Basic Camp Fee includes laundry service, activities and activity awards. It does not include items such as riding lessons, special trips, transportation fees, tuck charges or Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross manuals.

A deposit of $1000.00 is required for all sessions. If withdrawal is made by April 1st, a $400.00 administration fee will apply. If the application cannot be accepted, the full deposit will be returned. Balance of fees are due either in full on April 15th, or split into three equal payments, due February 1st, April 1st, and June 1st.

Cancellations after April 1st will result in loss of payments. There will be no refund of fees allowed for campers dismissed from camp or for campers arriving late or leaving early in the time enrolled. Interest will be charged at 2% per month on overdue accounts.

Dismissal: The camp director has discretion to dismiss your camper from Oconto in the event that your camper breaches camp rules, including the non-smoking, alcohol or drugs rule.

At the end of your camper’s stay at Oconto, we will invoice you for any bus and riding charges she incurred, as well as items purchased through our tuck shop. This may include items such as postage stamps, toiletries, candy, Chapel donations, and manuals required for Bronze Med and Bronze Cross.

Bus
Buses are chartered from Toronto to camp at the start of sessions 1, 2, 4, & 5 and returning to Toronto at the end of each month. Bus charges will be made accordingly.

Flights
If you require your camper to be picked up or dropped off at the airport, please get in touch with our office. Do not book any flights without being in contact with us first. We ask for campers who we are picking up from the airport to arrive the day before their session start date. Please contact the camp office to discuss details. Please note that Oconto will only pick up and drop off campers at Pearson Airport in Toronto.

We do our best to have campers ride three times per week, at a cost of $40.00 per lesson. Campers must sometimes decide if they would rather go on a canoe trip or other excursions and miss one or more riding lessons which are scheduled at the same time. When there is time, make-up lessons are organized. Campers should discuss this with their families before making a decision about riding.

Riding Lessons: $40.00 per lesson and campers must bring their own A.S.T.M. approved riding helmet to participate in this program. Camp Oconto will not loan or rent helmets.

Exactly what each camper brings is a decision you as a family will need to make, however we strongly suggest that all valuables be left at home, and that you “use up” clothes, rather than send new ones to camp. Please ensure that all items are labelled with your camper’s first and last name.
