Children with special needs and/or mobility issues are welcome!

Camp Sunrise is able to accommodate most needs, however while the facility is wheelchair accessible some of the programming is currently not fully wheel chair accessible. Other children with mobility aids, such as walkers, braces, etc, have been able to enjoy camp freely. If a wheelchair is needed we may be able to work with you tp figure out some kind of accommodation but we will require more information about your child’s needs before completing their application for camp.

Once you have received confirmation that your child(ren) have been registered for camp we will send you a detailed list of supplies. If you have any trouble getting these supplies together please let us know ASAP as we may be able to help.

*Lunch and snacks are provided during transportation days and during their stay at camp.

What NOT to bring to camp:

• Cellphones and other devices. You can easily contact your children by calling the camp office.
• Anything expensive.
• Money (everything is paid for!)

Our team will be coordinating transportation to the Sunshine Coast. This transportation includes a bus leaving Maple Ridge at a central location (TBD), and a ferry ride to the camp. All transportation costs are covered.

All transportation details will be sent to you once your registration has been confirmed.

Camp staff are highly trained and can accommodate for a variety of childrens needs, including homesickness. If there is an emergency where your child may not stay at camp then the camp will contact you. If this happens please let us know ASAP as we may be able to work with the camp to arrange transportation.

Please check your calendar and camp dates carefully before starting your pre-registration to ensure there are no conflicting dates. If you need to pull your children from camp due to a prior engagement or appointment we may not be able to assist with any transportation costs. If you decide to pull your child from camp early due to a non-emergency, you are responsible for arranging transportation to receive your child from Camp Sunrise, located on the Sunshine Coast. 

Going to Camp:
We will allow ample time to hand off your child(ren) to our team the morning of transportation. We will leave at an exact time (specified in the confirmation package), no exceptions. If you miss the bus your child(ren) will not be going to camp. Please allow extra time to get to the drop-off point in case of traffic or unexpected events.

Returning from Camp:
You will be provided a pick-up time (specified in the confirmation package), if your child is not picked up within a reasonable amount of time we will need to arrange alternate care. This will include calling emergency contacts, etc.

If you will have difficulty getting to the bus pick-up/drop-off location due to lack of public transportation or otherwise, we can discuss alternative assistance.
