Most camp sessions end on Friday afternoon unless stated otherwise on the Dates & Rates page. Homewood staff will travel on the 5:00 pm ferry to Campbell River with the campers who are registered for the bus service. A parent must "sign their child out" at the pick up spot.

Day Camp ends at 5:00 pm each day from Monday to Friday. Parents can pick up their child(ren) from camp at 4:30 pm. If campers are registered for the bus service, Homewood staff will bring them over to Campbell River on the 5:00 pm sailing. Parents must then sign them out.

Camp fees (minus the $100 non-refundable deposit per child, per session) are refundable if the cancellation notice is received at least 14 days prior to the camp session start date. Camp fees are not refundable if notification is received less than two weeks before the camp session start date.

No refunds are provided for partial attendance. Early departures require an Irregular Departure form to be filled out in advance.

We do our best to accommodate food allergies, gluten-free diets, and vegetarian diets. We are not a nut-free or gluten-free facility. Please include any dietary restrictions on the camp registration form so the Chef has time to plan for the accommodations.

Please arrange for a friend or relative to pick up your child instead. You must notify the Homewood office regarding the change so your child can be released to the appropriate person.

If the session is full, there is the option to be put on a waiting list. The "wait list" can be accessed by going through the registration process. Instead of "Add to cart", the button will say "Wait list available", select that option to be put on the wait list.

There will be a closing program for most of the Harbour, Ranch, and Woodsman Camps. You can call the office to confirm if your child(ren)'s session has a closing program. Note: There is no closing program for Sailing, Rookie, Eager Beaver, or Day Camps.

We recommend arriving at the ferry terminal at least one hour before the intended sailing. Summer is a busy time for the ferries and often there is a sailing wait. You can go to Campbell River Ferry Cam to view the terminal traffic.

Yes. Camp Homewood is a registered charity and will issue receipts for donations of $20.00 or more. We will require an up-to-date mailing address on file. Receipts for donations made using CanadaHelps must be printed by the donor.

We provide covered foam mattresses for our Harbour, Ranch, and Woodsman camps. We recommend bringing a Therm-a-Rest pad or a thin, foam pad for the sailing camps as mattresses are not provided.
