Recreation

Age of Participants

All camp programs are designed and programmed for specific age groups. Participants must meet the minimum age requirement within the current calendar year to participate in the camp program.

Conduct

Health and Safety

All campers with a medical concern(s) are required to complete a Medical Form prior to their first day of camp. Medical Forms can be found in the information package, which is emailed to the address on file prior to the first day of camp. If a participant has a communicable disease or a current public health concern, we kindly ask that they not attend UxCamps during such time.

Camp Inclusion

If your child requires special assistance for one of our programs, please notify the Camp Director by June 3rd, before registration, so we can properly accommodate you. All 1:1 requests require an interview with the Camp Director to ensure that we are able to meet the needs of your camper. In order to meet the needs of as many participants as possible, families requiring 1:1 assistance can request support for up to two (2) weeks of camp. If you have any questions regarding our 1:1 system, please contact the Camp Director at camps@uxbridge.ca or 905-852-7831.

Refunds, Credits or Transfers

1. A full refund is available if the camp program is cancelled by the Township. 
2. Refund/credit requests for personal reasons must be submitted in writing no later than seven (7) business days before the program start date. The effective date will be the date the Community Services Department receives written notification. Verbal notification will not be accepted. Non-attendance does not constitute notice of withdrawal. Only medical situations will be considered for refund requests that do not meet the seven (7) day advanced notice requirement, at the discretion of Management.
• A $15 administration fee will be deducted from all refunds or credits that exist beyond the Township's cancellation of a program. Please allow up to four (4) weeks for the processing of refunds. Refunds will only be issued to the original registrant/payee. Refunds may either be made via mailed cheque or original form of payment.
3. Requests for program transfers will be accepted prior to the start of the program, but are conditional on program availability. A $15 administration fee may be applied to transfers. If the original registration was completed within the Early Registration Discount period (April 5 – May 31, 2022) and the transfer is completed outside of this period, the Early Registration Discount will be lost and the participant will be required to pay the difference.

Camp Information Packages

All camp-specific program information and supporting documents (i.e. medical forms, permission forms, pizza forms, etc.) will be sent out via email to the address associated with the camper's online account by the Thursday evening before the camp start date. Please ensure that your email address, emergency contacts, and camper medical/special request information is up-to-date in our system. Should you have any further questions, email the Camp Director at camps@uxbridge.ca or call 905-852-7831.

Allergy Awareness

UxCamps strives to create the safest environment possible for all participants. Peanut/nut products are not permitted at camp, due to severe camper and staff allergies. All other food allergies (if any) will be listed in your camp information package for that specific week, for parent/guardian awareness. We ask you to please be conscience while packing camper lunches. Allergies should be listed as a medical concern on your camper’s Medical Form. Our facilities are used by the public and although we promote a peanut/nut free environment, we cannot guarantee the absence of allergens in our facilities.

Swim Tests

Each camp will have the chance to participate in an hour of free swim at least once per week. Should your child choose to participate, a swim test may be required. A deep end swim test consists of swimming the width of Uxpool (there and back), in a front crawl, without stopping. A shallow end swim test consists of only one width of the shallow end. A swim test is required if the camper wishes to swim in the middle or deep end, or are over the age of six (6)* and wishes to swim in the shallow end without a lifejacket. The passing of the swim test is at the discretion of the lifeguards only. Campers may either be granted full access of the pool (including deep end), partial access of the pool (shallow and middle end only), or may be asked to remain in the shallow end.

*Please note, campers ages 6 and under are required to wear a lifejacket, as per Uxpool policy, and are not required to participate in a swim test.

Sign In/Out Procedures

All campers are to be signed in and out with their camp Supervisor by an authorized parent/guardian. Prior to your camper’s first day of camp, please fill out a ‘Permission to Pick Up’ form located in your camp information package, listing and authorizing specific persons to pick up your child. Those who arrive to pick up a camper will be asked to provide a piece of photo ID matching the authorized person(s) before the camper is released from our care. If you need to update your Permission to Pick Up list throughout the week, please speak with your camper’s Supervisor.

Late Fee Policy

A $5 late fee will apply for every five minutes after 4:30pm that a camper has not been picked up and who is not registered for Extended Care. To avoid a late fee, please consider registering your camper for Extended Care, should you anticipate not being able to arrive on time for pick up.

Extended Care

A.M. Care is available for certain camps and is offered at Elgin Park, between 7:30-8:30am. We are not responsible for your camper before 7:30am. Please see camp flyer for availability. P.M. Care is available for certain camps and is offered at the Uxpool, between 4:30-5:30pm. The late fee policy will apply to those who pick up after 5:30pm. Please see camp flyer for availability.

Post-Dated Payments

Option to post-date 50% payment to June 20, 2022 is at the discretion of the Camp Director. Please email camps@uxbridg.ca for more information or call 905-852-3081. Post dated payments are not possible for online registrations.
