Registration for camp will open March 1st, 2024.

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

When you start your enrollment for the 2024 season you will be asked a few questions regarding your child and then will choose your payment option and plan. There is a check out section that has a mandatory $25 deposit. After you fill out this step you will be notified that your enrollment status is PENDING. We will verify your registration status via email within 24 hours to confirm your standing: either enrolled or on the waitlist.  If your camper is enrolled your deposit will be charged and if on the waitlist, you will not be charged. Your registration status will still be determined on a first come, first served basis and dependent on camper cabin availability.

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. We offer two payment amount options for families registering, with the opportunity for additional subsidy if requested. The plan you select is entirely up to you and should be based on your own comfort level.  We fundraise throughout the year with a variety of partners and sponsors to offer these subsidized camp rates. 

Option 1:
Lightly Subsidized Cost – $1500 for 1 week camps / $2500 for 2 week 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!

Option 2:
Moderately Subsidized Cost – $1050 for 1 week camps / $2000 for 2 week Challengers
This cost is available at checkout as a partially subsidized rate. No application is needed to select this option, and it is geared toward families who may more comfortably afford this amount.

We have payment plans available for these first two 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.
