Going To Camp
"City" boys and girls aged 8-14 are invited to register for a 5 day camp week during either July (boys' month) or August (girls' month). Invitations to campers are extended through school and community networks to identify as many campers as possible who for financial, social or family reasons would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience the camp environment. Other campers come to know St. Brigid's through our extended family and continue to send new generations.

St. Brigid's does not charge for attendance at camp, but asks for a donation (tax receipt provided) from the campers. In this way a "level playing field" is created for all campers. Everyone is encouraged to bring "old clothes" and we have no tuck shop which might separate advantaged campers from those who can't afford extras.
Please see our Fee Policy for more details.
Special Needs
If your child has special needs (behavioural, emotional or physical), please speak to Joanne prior to
registering. Most food allergies can be accommodated.
Please phone the Camp Director, Joanne Cooke, or the Camp Medical Administrator before your child's session if you
have any medical, behavioral or other concern. The camp phone number is (819) 422-3396. Please do not
call the camp unless it is necessary. You can appreciate that with over a hundred children each week,
if parents begin calling just to see how things are going or whatever, we would not be able to do
anything else. Joanne Cooke, the Camp Director, or the Medical Administrator will call if there is a problem.
The following rules are in effect at St. Brigid's Summer Camp to ensure the safety and happiness of everyone attending camp:
- No cell phones are permitted
- No knives of any kind
- No lighters
- No inappropriate language is to be used
- No bullying is tolerated
- No fighting is allowed
- Campers must follow instructions from their counselors and senior staff members
