  The camp I want is full; what can I do?

  You can join our waitlist! Every year, dozens of campers come off the waitlist, and while we can’t guarantee it, if you aren’t on it, we can’t call you!

  To get on the waitlist, log into your account and continue the registration process; the system will add you to the waitlist. If you don’t receive an email from us after completing registration, you have not been added to the waitlist.

  If a spot becomes available, we will email you and give you 24 hours to respond. If you don’t respond we will move to the next person on the list and continue this process until we fill the spot.

  There is no payment needed to join the waitlist; however, if we offer you a spot, you will be required to put down a deposit to confirm the spot (or the full amount of the camp if it is less than 30 days to the start of the camp). We will fill from waitlists up to the night before camp begins!

  What happens if my child gets sick or experiences any symptoms of Covid-19?

  Please do not send any camper to camp if they are sick or experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms. This will be considered an exceptional circumstance due to Covid guidelines and you will be eligible for a full refund.

  Keats Camps will follow all public health guidelines. If your camper is sick or experiences Covid-19 symptoms, Keats Camps will follow all public health guidelines set by Vancouver Coastal Health. If costs are associated with this in relation to your child, you will be responsible for those.
