Lost and Found

All lost and found items are displayed multiple times during the week for the campers to claim. All unclaimed items are washed and stored until the end of September, at which time we donate them to a local charity. Please call the office if you have lost an item and we will attempt to locate it and return it to you for the cost of shipping.

Cancellation Policy

If a camper cancels Overnight Camp:  

• More than one month prior to the program date, we will give back a full refund less $75.00 cancellation fee.  
• One month to two weeks prior to the program date, a full refund less $200.00 cancellation fee.  
• Less than two weeks prior to the program date, all program fees become non-refundable unless written explanation from a doctor is received, and then only a cancellation fee of $75 is charged.  

No refund will be made for late arrivals or early departures.

If your child is sick and cannot attend, please contact us to make alternate arrangements for your camper. This may include: changing weeks, transferring your payment to Summer 2025 or refunding your payment.

Consider switching weeks instead! Switching weeks more than a month before the registered program start date is totally free! Changes made within four weeks of the program start date are subject to an additional fee. Contact summer@medeba.com for more information. 

Medeba reserves the right to cancel any program or activity due to a lack of participants.

Medeba Open House

Want to try some Medeba activities? Come on out for some rock climbing, zip lining and a BBQ! The Medeba Open House is on July 12, 2025.

 

Behavioural Expectations

Campers are expected to treat one another respectfully, without put downs or rough horse play. Medeba strives to resolve behavioural problems with campers promptly and effectively but reserves the right to dismiss a camper for behavioural problems at the discretion of the Directors. No refund will be made for dismissals due to disciplinary action. Parents will be responsible for the removal of the camper due to dismissal.

Medeba is a smoke, alcohol, and drug free facility. Tobacco, alcohol, cannabis and illicit drug possession or use is prohibited for everyone.

Medeba does not permit gum-chewing on property.

Cell Phones, Personal Music Players, Tablets, Laptops, and Gaming Devices

Medeba desires to develop a healthy camper community. Personal devices take away from a camper fully immersing in our community and therefore the above-mentioned devices are not permitted.

Communication from Home

By Mail

Campers look forward to receiving mail and we encourage parents and relatives to send letters. Due to our location, it may take more than a week for us to receive mail. We recommend sending any letters the week before they are due to arrive. Please do not send anything through the mail that may contain, contains, or is a nut product. These are delivered at dinner time (Mon-Friday). Also note, girls are at tabins on Tuesday nights and boys on Thursdays, so they will not receive mail on these nights.

    Medeba Summer Camp
    Box138

You may email your camper care of the Medeba office. Our e-mail address is: info@medeba.com (Please type the campers full name on the "subject" line along with their cabin name). We will print these off Monday-Friday at 5pm and deliver them during dinner. A 50¢ charge will be placed against their tuck account for each incoming e-mail. Campers are unable to e-mail back. 

By Phone

Campers do not normally have access to the phone. We would encourage you not to call them unless it is an emergency. If you would like to know how your child is doing, we ask that you call and talk to their cabin leader.

Health Care

Health and safety are always emphasized!

Forms

You will have completed a Camper Health Form on your my.medeba account. If there are any changes to the camper's medical condition after you complete these forms, please log back into your my.medeba account and update your forms.

Medications

All medications must be handed in on registration day. Campers may not keep any medications in the cabin. This includes vitamins and supplements.

The medications/vitamins/supplements MUST BE BROUGHT TO CAMP IN THE ORIGINAL PHARMACY CONTAINER.

Insurance

Parents are to provide medical insurance and are responsible for any cost incurred not covered by insurance. (For example, certain medications)

Head Lice

For the protection of our campers and staff, lice checks are performed at the beginning of each week. Please check your children in advance of coming to Medeba and treat if necessary. Please inform us if they have received treatment just prior to arriving at camp. Any campers found with head lice will be treated for a fee of $250, or the camper will be removed from camp. Contact the office for more information on the head lice treatment we perform.

On-Site Care

2. Encouraging campers and staff to practice good hand hygiene
3. Staff and campers will be screening themselves regularly for symptoms of communicable illnesses
