What’s Included
once a week
Over the past past few years we’ve has experienced a surge in applications. We’re anticipating only a handful of spots will be available to brand new campers for the upcoming season. More spots may become available if any campers don’t return. If you wish to attend Walden in 2026, and you’re not already registered, you should join our waitlist.
Our programs are designed to help campers build confidence, make lasting friendships, and try new experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Whether your child is coming to camp for the first time or returning for another great summer, Walden is a place they can truly feel at home.

Counselor in Training program for leadership development and mentorship.
“Each stage is designed to match your child’s developmental needs and readiness. Most campers begin with shorter sessions and gradually extend their stay as they grow more independent and confident. Our CIT program offers the ultimate leadership experience for teens ready to give back to the Walden community.”
Here are the answers to several questions we anticipate parents might have about this year’s registration. If you have other questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to Danielle, Ashton, or Sol at the office. We can be reached toll free at 1-888-254-4274 and office@campwalden.ca.
Unless you indicate otherwise, we will assume that you wish your payment to be made as follows: a $2000 deposit ($600+HST in the case of Walden Long Weekend) and then four equal instalments on March 1st, April 1st, May 1st, and June 1st. 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.
We do something at Walden that is 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 do not apply.
YES! If you are applying for a session that you are ultimately not accepted to, a refund will be provided.

Special circumstances certainly deserve special attention. We will generously consider special written requests for refunds in September following the summer.
Regretfully, we have had to increase fees again. Nearly every industry has been impacted by economic inflation. Our continued efforts to provide quality food, transportation, supervision, and program have resulted in an enormous increase to camp’s expenses. We know that families work hard to provide these experiences for their children and that there are many camps to choose from. Please know that every increase in camp’s pricing is made carefully and reluctantly.
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.
Given the waitlist we had last summer and the level of disappointment that that caused for many, we no longer wish to further incentivize early registration.
Yes, we still like to give families a chance to be sure they are happy with their decisions and so we still have a “no questions asked full refund” cancellation date. However, this date is now October 1. The rest of our cancellation policy has actually been relaxed to a large extent. More about that can be read by clicking on the TERMS AND CONDITIONS button above.
