Registration for camp will open February 10, 2026 at 12pm EST.
The registration process is made up of three steps:
- Payment of a $25 deposit to secure your interest and get you in our system;
- Completing a detailed series of registration forms; and,
- Paying the balance of your camp registration fee.
Step 1: Paying Your Deposit
You will be asked to enter basic camper information and pay your $25 deposit to kick off your camp application. Fee payment and payment plans, subsidy applications and other information can all be found within your profile once campers are successfully registered.
New this year: after submitting your initial registration, families will be asked to complete a general registration form within 48 hours that will provide us with details on general and medical information for your camper. With this change in process, we ask families to note that their application status will be pending for up to two weeks. We recognize this is a longer wait than usual, however this will allow our camp team to better understand camper needs, ensuring we are properly resourced for our camp season, and allow us to more effectively manage our camp waitlist. To note, initial registration will be time stamped BEFORE completing the general registration form to maintain our usual first come, first served process.
Step 2: Paying Your Registration Fee
We believe that every child living with type 1 diabetes should have the opportunity to experience camp, and be involved in a community of other kids and families living with type 1. Thanks to our generous donors, we have historically covered more than half of each camper’s fees. As we grow the program and take on the full Davern site, we are introducing a new fee structure. Families may choose between the true cost of camp or a subsidized rate, with flexible payment plans available. Additional financial assistance is available upon application to ensure camp remains accessible to all.
Option 1:
The true cost of camp – $2200 for 1 week camps / $4000 for 2 week session and Challengers
This amount is the true cost of having a child at Camp Banting. If this option is feasible for your family, please select it during your checkout.
Option 2:
Subsidized Cost – $1600 for 1 week camps / $2850 for 2 week session and Challengers
This amount approaches our true cost of having a child at Camp Banting. If this option is feasible for your family, please select it during your checkout. We encourage families who are selecting this option to consider fundraising part or all of your camp fee. Should you select this option, we will be happy to provide you with supporting information and logos to help with your fundraising endeavors!
We have payment plans available for these options, and will work with you to find out what is best for your financial situation.
Option 3:
Campership Subsidy Application
We recognize that all families and finances are different. If you are unable to afford either option, we offer further financial subsidies based on need, by application. After paying the deposit below, you will be able to fill out a financial assistance application
Step 3: Completing Your Camp Forms
Once you are notified that you your camper is enrolled into Camp Banting there will be a registration form to fill out by March 31st. We take up medical, behavioural, dietetic, and family information. We use this information to best support your child while they are in our care.
