Hello Summer Camper! Welcome to Narrow Lake Youth Camp, or, if you are returning, welcome back! It is my privilege to lead the Narrow Lake Youth Camp, I am grateful to have the opportunity this year to work more closely with you and others at camp. At Narrow Lake Youth Camp, we strive for excellence in all aspects of summer camping for our campers. We are proud of our more than 30 years of excellent providing this summer camp in Alberta. We stand on the side of young people and strive to serve them well. If at any time you need information or assistance, or have a suggestion concerning how we might improve our services, please do not hesitate to call myself at 780-720-0912. Or e-mail us at narrowlakeyouthcamp@outlook.com. Please take a moment to read through this information. The youth camps are held at Narrow Lake Conservation Center, which is located approximately 25 minutes southwest of Athabasca. Due to the success and popularity of our youth camp we will be once again be offering two camps this summer. Both camps will offer the same courses and certifications. Please register for the one that fits with your schedule. The camp is open to both girls and boys ages 12-17 (due to Federal firearms regulations all participants must be 12 years of age by the end of the camp week). Due to the high interest of the camp and limited space, a refund policy has been put into effect. If you are unable to come to camp, you can cancel with a full refund prior to May 31, 2019. If you cancel after May 31, 2019, $250 refund will be given. If you cancel three weeks prior to the camp start date no refund will be given, a no show on the day of camp sign in, will also be given no refund. However, if a club has paid for your student, they can send someone else in the place of that student with no money lost. If the camp is full please email narrowlakeyouthcamp@outlook.com and ask to go on the waiting list. If someone drops out you will be notified depending on your priority level. Official acceptance letters will be mailed out beginning of May. This will include which week and which level the camper is enrolled in, as well as drop off & pick up times. Also, a recommended packing list and directions. Camp is usually full end of April so get your forms in as soon as you can. No news is good news, just look for the information package in the mail. Our chef is a culinary instructor at N.A.I.T. Our chef is able to accommodate for any food allergies as long as it is made aware of on the registration form. There is plenty of food available for all, when seconds are called don't be shy, to go get more till you are full! This is an Outdoor camp, majority of their time is spent outdoors, including experiencing sleeping in a tent. These are outfitter tents, for the last night of camp the campers get to experience the outdoors and get to sleep in a lean-to that they build. It makes for a fun and eventful experience. The cost for the week is $500 per participant, this fee includes all lodging, meals Sunday dinner till Saturday BBQ. Also includes all instruction, course books, course fee s and testing for the various certifications. All participants are to take these courses serious as it is not a guarantee that they will pass their tests. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet you in person. Sincerely, - Camp Director, Narrow Lake Youth Camp 1
