Do campers have to be Christians to go here?
Not at all! A majority of the kids that come to Pagweak have no church connection or affiliation. We will be teaching about a God that loves and cares for them deeply, and we encourage kids to ask questions and to figure out what they think.
Can your cook accommodate food allergies?
Our cook will do everything she can to ensure that all of our guests enjoy their meals, including those who have sensitivities and restrictions to things like gluten, lactose, food dyes, etc. Just let us know on your registration form and they will do their best to be prepared well before you arrive.
What should my child bring?
Where will my child sleep?
Our campers bunk in cabins with 6 - 10 campers along with their two cabin leaders. None of our cabins have washrooms but the main washhouse is easy to access.
Will my child be safe at camp?
Absolutely, safety is a priority for us just as it is for you. All of our staff have received the appropriate training for their position – kitchen, medical, waterfront, rock wall, etc. As well, all staff have to have a Criminal Reference Check and a majority of the staff have their First Aid Certificate.
What’s on the menu?
Does my child have to go to Chapel and Worship sessions?
Yes, these sessions are an important part of our program at Pagweak. We have dynamic staff leading an upbeat and fun worship time. Our speakers are chosen based on their past experiences here at camp or in their communities for their abilities to connect with kids on their level.
Can I communicate with my child while they’re at camp?
Yes! Send us an email with the name of your child in the subject line, and we will make sure it gets to your child. Though no more than one email a day, please.
Are the activities different just like the names of each week of camp?
We offer a standard set of activities that we adjust to be better suited for different age groups. We name our weeks at camp to help tell the weeks apart.
How do I sign out my child when camp is over?
When you come to pick up your child, find the senior cabin leader at the cabin your child stayed in. They’ll help you sign out your child.
What do I do if my child lost something at camp?
If your child has lost something, contact the Director or Assistant Director and we’ll search through our Lost and Found to see if we can locate your lost possessions. Please note that we do donate any left over clothing to charity at the end of the summer.
