Registration

Dear Narnians and families of,As we round the corner into February, and as we start to see blue skies and feel warmer temperatures, Camp Narnia has to reach out with some unfortunate news. We recently heard from the committee at Camp Creina – the property in Cowichan Station that we have rented for the past two years – that they will be declining our request to rent the property this summer. This was a surprise to us, as although our communication with Camp Creina was slow this fall and winter, we had no indication that they would decline our rental for the summer. We are sorry for the impact this will have on summer plans and kids’ hopes for another Narnian summer adventure.We on the Narnia administration team are trying to stay positive! Things are not beyond hope! The four of us (Fiona, Dietcliff, Joel & Sam) are doing our best to exhaust every opportunity to make Camp Narnia run this summer because honestly, we love being there just as much as the campers (we never really grew up). The hunt for a new property would not be complete unless we reached out to you all and asked that if you have any information, any leads, any needles inside haystacks, could you please email us and tell us all about it? Aslan thanks you.This email is us wanting to be fully transparent with all of our registered families, and give you the opportunity to plan your summer as far ahead as you need to. We will be giving ourselves until the end of February to make the final decision on whether we can run as usual. If March 1st arrives and we have not found any options to run Camp Narnia this summer, we, of course, will be providing full refunds to all our families. As of now, we will be holding off processing any pending payments through our registration site. If you have any questions about this, or would like a refund earlier than March 1st, please send us an email to [email protected].If we do end up finding an alternative site for this summer, all registration dates will be honoured as well as waitlist priority. If and when a new location is found, we will send all families information about the new site, giving the opportunity for families to receive refunds if the location or site does not work for you. We will continue to keep all families up to date with pertinent information as we work through the next steps this month.Please feel free to email us at anytime with any questions. Again, we are saddened and sorry to have to deliver this news. We are deeply grateful for the wonderful community of kids, families, staff and volunteers who have made this camp possible year-after-year. We’ll be in touch soon.Warm regards,Fiona, Dietcliff, Joel & Sam

Let us go on and take the adventures that shall fall to us.

Camper Shuttle

$40 each way
We run a shuttle to and from Camp Narnia for check-in and check-out from Duke Point Ferry Terminal in Nanaimo. This is to help campers coming from the mainland to get to camp without their parents having to drive onto the ferry and pay expensive car fees.

Please note: Our staff are only able to pick up campers on the Nanaimo side of the ferry route, and parents must follow BC Ferries regulations around children riding on the ferry.

As ferry schedules frequently change, we will get in touch with families booking the ferry shuttle one week before camp by e-mail to confirm which ferry they should take to meet the shuttle.

Financial Assistance

Our camp is committed to providing a diverse and fulfilling experience for as many families as we can, and we work hard to keep the price of sending your child to camp reasonable and accessible. We also occasionally reduce the registration cost for families in need. We are a privately owned, independent camp and we receive no support from public funds, charities, or other organisations; our ability to accommodate families in financial need is limited to only a few spaces per week of camp.

Our criteria for offering reduced rates centres around three objectives:

1) Providing returning campers the chance to continue to attend camp in spite of changes in their family’s circumstances

2) Making the camp community a diverse place where children of all backgrounds play together

3) Providing the opportunity to come to camp for children who would benefit most from the experience

If you feel that your child would benefit greatly from attending camp, but are not able to pay the full camp fees, please get in touch by email and we will be happy to discuss your individual case. Also, there are some organizations who have offered funding to families to send their children to Camp Narnia in the past, and we are happy to welcome campers who have been sponsored in this way.

For more information please contact Joel or Sam by email.

Refund Policy

We offer full refunds up to two weeks before the start of a camper’s registered session. Cancellations less than two weeks ahead of a session will receive a refund of registration fees, minus the $100 deposit.

There are no refunds if a camper is picked up early from their session.
