If a camper is coming from the United States (or any country other than Canada), they will need a valid passport. If you don’t have a passport, be sure to start the process soon, as it does take some time.
Cadets and Junior Counselors: You will need a signature from your parent or legal guardian. We’re hoping that’s the person filling out your registration, so hopefully that’s not a problem.
