Camp McLanlin

Any group staying at Camp McLanlin must have a representative per site booked, be   orientated to the site.   That may be just a phone call for some, or it may include an onsite orientation.   The representative must be in attendance for the duration of their camp and must be checked in and out by the Caretaker or their designate.  Upon arrival at camp, an accurate participants list must be presented to the caretaker; including any resource people coming up for the day. 

***No list, No keys***

Remember this camp belongs to all of us, please show respect when using it.

Check in is from 3:00 pm; if you are going to be later than 7:00 please call Andrew at 604-852-4158.

Please look for any damaged or missing items when checking in and report them to the caretaker immediately or there is a possibility that your unit will be charged.

Confirm time with caretaker at arrival what time the group would like to check out; Times are on a first come first served policy. Expect the checkout time to be between 20-30 minutes. At checkout time there should be two adults present (one being the check in person). All the girls (except those going home with these people) should be gone.

Make sure that everything is in its place (re-check if parents are cleaning) and the checkout sheet is completed

The site will be inspected by the Caretaker and approval must be given to release the damage deposits.

Units are responsible for any damage to the site (not caused by nature) and damaged or missing items present at time of check out, these will be charged on the invoice or taken from the damage deposit.
