Renting the Camp
While the summer camp events are the main focus of Camp Teepee Pole, the camp itself is available for renting when it is not otherwise in use. Rentals are made available in the following priority:
- Official Christian Service Brigade events have the top priority,
- Registered Christian Service Brigade Units in good standing are next,
- And finally other groups. These groups need to satisfy the following requirement in order to rent our facility:
- They must be in complete agreement with our Statement of Faith, or
- They must be explicitly approved by the camp board.
How To Rent
Note that the camp is generally not available for renting from the month of June until mid-August. During that time we are either running our summer camps or preparing for them.In order to rent the camp, please contact Camp Bookings.
Rental Rates
Rental rates are shown on the rental form. The rental rates depend on both the time of year (Summer or Winter) and the type of group that is renting. Note that all prices do not include electricity for which you need to read the electric meter and calculate the amount as per the rental form. Note that groups are required to provide their own insurance. For weekend renters, the camp can provide insurance if desired for an additional daily rate shown on the rental form.
Summer is defined as the months May through September and includes running water and optionally the use of the washhouse. Winter use does not include the washhouse (there are outhouses instead), and only allows a single tap for water use. The remainder of the water system, including the drainage, will have been winterized, hence will be unavailable.
Week is defined as a full week from Sunday through Saturday (excluding Saturday evening). A Weekend is defined as, arrive Friday, leave Sunday (two nights). A daily rate is applied by how many nights you stay, and special permission is needed if a new group arrives the same day the existing group leaves.
How to Pay
You can pay your rental fees either via cheque or e-Transfer.
If paying by e-Transfer, send the fee to deposit@campteepeepole.org. This address is configured with our bank to automatically accept transfers, so you shouldn’t have to setup any additional security questions. Be sure to include the name of the rental group in the comment section so we know whom to credit.
If paying by cheque, make the cheque payable to "Camp Teepee Pole" and mail it to the address on the Rental Form. Be sure to include the name of the rental group in the memo so we know whom to credit.
