Rates & dates for summer 2022

NO!!!!  This is the most commonly misunderstood aspect of our fees.  There are two separate discounts related to this question.  You get a discount if you register early… and you get an even bigger discount if you also pay in full early.  We encourage those families who aren’t ready to make full payment to still take advantage of the register early discount – the “Earlybird”.

Here again, we do something fairly unique.  If, in good faith, you think your camper might extend, we’d like you to register for the longer session at no risk to you.  However, if you extend during the summer, the cost to us (and thus to you) is higher.  These extension fees are listed above.  They are flat rates so the sibling and alumni discounts are not applied.

You should certainly register for 7 weeks and attach a note with the particulars of your situation.  We will gladly agree to decrease your camper’s registration to your desired length of stay at no penalty (as though this was your decision all along).

Well… you can… but the cost as you can see on the Rates & Dates section of our website will be greater.  Every year, there are a number of families that wish to extend their stay from 4 weeks to 7 weeks, or from 2 weeks to 4 weeks in the middle of the summer.  Despite our desire to accommodate, it is sometimes the case that space does not allow for these requests.  Please consider your registration length carefully when completing your application.

It is very likely that some of our age groups will fill up this year.  All applications are date stamped.  They are processed throughout the year according to the table below in the order that they are received.  Processing applications takes time.  We will be able to confirm information about your application after November 1^st.

Our loyal 2020 and 2021 families are given the same priority as one another until October 1.  After that, we will begin to consider new campers in the order that their application is received.

We have made every effort to make our fees fair and reflective of our quality of program.  We are proud of the fact that everyone at Walden pays the rates shown on our website.  So no, we will not adjust our rates.  But those families who feel they could benefit from an alternate pay schedule are invited to present a plan via email to sol@campwalden.ca.  Please note that Fee reductions cannot be made for campers arriving late, leaving early, or missing part of camp.

Unless you indicate otherwise, we will assume that you wish your payment to be made as follows: a $1500 deposit and then four equal instalments on March 1^st, April 1^st, May 1^st, and June 1^st.  Families must let us know before each date how they intend to pay.  Unfortunately, if after reminders from us, that information is not provided, applicable discounts will have to be removed.
