What do participants need to bring to camp?

Participants are required to bring personal NUT FREE snacks and lunch items as well as a water bottle.

Weather permitting, we will spend daily time outdoors so please bring appropriate clothing according to the temperature and conditions of the day. Sunscreen and a hat would are good optional items to pack along as well for Summer camps.

It is preferable that personal electronics are not brought to camp. Should participants arrive with personal electronics, please note that WWEST, iSTAND, and UBC will not be responsible for any loss or damage to them.

What sickness policy is in place?

Current provincial and local regulations will be in place for the duration of camp. Please note that participants may be sent home if they display symptoms of illness or non-compliance with safety measures. 

Who can I contact if I need to connect with my child during camp?

For camp-specific emergencies (eg. notification of absence, alternate adult picking up) please contact our team at wwest.ok@ubc.ca or the WWEST Director’s phone (250) 807-9884.

Are refunds available?

We know unforeseen circumstances arise and wish to note that although refunds are not available, as supplies and staffing are determined based on registrations, transfer of funds to another WWEST/iSTAND event will be possible if notice is received at least one week prior to the first day of camp, and within the same camp season (eg. Winter break or Summer break).

If a child is sick, and there is space in another camp, we will do our best to accommodate a transfer within the same camp session (for example, a Spring camp day for another Spring camp day, NOT a Summer camp day).

Thank you for your understanding.
