Camp reserves the right, at any time up to the date camps starts to not allow attendance of the camper if it is deemed in the camp’s sole discretion in the best interests of the other campers. Refusing to allow a camper to come to camp could be as a result of health concerns from, for example an infectious disease, or for other medical/psychological medical reasons. Items not permitted in camp: i.e. (PSP/Gameboys, hair straighteners, cell phones, iPods, iPads, tablets, any electronics with internet, laptops) shall be confiscated, not returned to campers and will be donated to charity and the child may be sent home for the entire session.  Any camper with a cell phone or any device that is used for data or WIFI such a text messaging, social media, internet access or the like shall result in the dismissal of the camper for the entire session they are enrolled at the discretion of the Camp.

No camper or parent shall use any Manitou name, or photo/video on any web site or the internet without our permission and if so, such camper will not be permitted to attend camp.

9. COVID-19 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: Participant acknowledges that if COVID-19 continues to spread throughout Canada, it is possible that the Participant may come in contact with other adults and children, and that it is possible the Participant could become sick with or exposed to COVID-19, whether at camp or elsewhere or that such exposure could than cause others such as a family member to be exposed.  To protect the potential spread we also recommend that any child returning home from camp be quarantined for 14 days and/or be tested if they wish to ensure there is no spread of the virus. The Camp will maintain proper (and enhanced) hygiene and infection control practices at camp, and will be reviewing with the Ontario Camps Association health protocols.  It is possible that the operational program of camp could change for health reasons and if so, we will advise you so that you can prepare your child. Of course, the camp cannot guarantee that campers will not become infected with or be exposed to COVID-19. In the event public health requires reduced enrolment, the Camp will reduce sessions and equally apply shorter sessions so that as many campers as possible that originally enrolled can attend. Accordingly, it is possible that session dates will change. Camp Manitou reserves the right to change or update our policies and/or programs and/or optional extras as the Ministry of Health may make recommendations and/or changes to the COVID-19 guidelines prior to and/or during the summer.

10. The Camp shall not be held responsible and is hereby released from any liability for any sickness, accident or injury to our child(ren) and the parent/guardian is aware that there are risks inherent with activities that take place at any camp unless arising from wilful neglect. These risks include, but are not be limited to, bodily injury, personal injury, emotional injury and death. If your child has not been fully immunized, pursuant to Canadian and or Provincial recommendations, the Camp has the right to not accept such camper. As camp directors, our effort to ensure a safe and healthy environment at camp includes health promotion, of which immunization is a key component. By doing so, we align ourselves with school boards and Health Canada. As such we request that all campers and staff at camp have received all of the mandatory immunizations which are as follows: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Pertussis, Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio, Meningococcal C Conjugate and Chicken Pox (A COVID vaccine may be added to this list when it becomes approved). If, for whatever reason, you have elected NOT to have your child(ren) vaccinated, we ask that you indicate this to us by April 1^ston the camp health form and we will decide if your child is permitted to attend camp. If your child is not permitted to attend camp we will return your deposit if notified of this by no later than April 1^stand after such date the deposit shall not be returned unless the camper spot can be filled by another camper. In the unlikely event that a case of measles for example, or any other disease targeted by Ontario’s vaccination program is discovered at camp,  and your child was permitted to attend camp despite not being vaccinated.  Children who are unvaccinated will be sent home for the recommended period of isolation (i.e. measles – 21 days) without any fee adjustment.

11. The camp is authorized to secure medical treatment for our child(ren) when appropriate, including medication, x-ray, hospitalization, anaesthesia or surgery. If for any reason our child(ren) require(s) such medical attention or special medication beyond that furnished by camp, the parent/guardian agree to be responsible for any expenses incurred, we therefore recommend you obtain medical insurance. We permit the camp to open up any mail or packages in the capacity as guardian for our child. The parent/guardian confirm that the camp complies with Canadian /Ontario law with regard to the rules of safety, and supervision for any waterfront activities such that a minimum of bronze medallion or equivalent is provided in each swim, tripping or waterfront related activity.
