The ursa Packing Philosophy: Pack Light, Travel Far
Good to know!
- Laundry Made Easy: You will have full access to laundry facilities during camp. If you’ve never used a washing machine before, don’t worry—our friendly teachers and counsellors are happy to show you the ropes!
- Keep it Casual: We’ll be busy with plenty of recreational activities. Please leave expensive or “dry-clean only” clothes at home, as camp life can sometimes be a bit messy.
- Label Everything: To help us return any misplaced items to you, we highly recommend writing your name on the tags of your belongings.

- Your camp tuition is all-inclusive. This means all activities, excursions, and healthy, delicious meals are covered
