Rental Information

Kamp Kiwanis offers 'Hostel style' accommodation. This includes the expectation that our rental groups help with a clean up before they leave the facility. The full rental policies are as written below.

1. The rental group is asked to comply with any and all instructions or directions given by the camp management and staff, and to abide by the policies of the facility as supplied. Failure to do so can result in the cancellation of the rental at the discretion of the camp management and the ejection of the offending party from Kamp Kiwanis. Any deposits may also be forfeited. First time users are advised to arrange a site tour with the camp management prior to the rental date. This will aid in preventing non-compliance with camp policy.

2. Please do not bring alcohol, firearms, or illegal activities to the site. Functions wishing to have alcohol must make prior arrangements and have proper permits. Smoking is prohibited in all buildings on site and is only permitted outdoors in designated-signed smoking areas.

3. All groups use Kamp Kiwanis entirely at their own risk. All necessary waivers and releases must be supplied by rental group organisers and be completed by all participants prior to arrival. Kamp Kiwanis, the camp management, the Kiwanis Club, and Kiwanis International will not be held responsible for the difficulties encountered as a result of the rental group's program or misuse of the camp. The rental group agrees to indemnify and save harmless Kiwanis International, the Kiwanis Club, Kamp Kiwanis, and the camp management from any and all claims for liability, howsoever caused, in connection with taking part in the rental of Kamp Kiwanis.

4. Other than normal wear and tear, the rental group will be held responsible for any damages to the camp and/or loss or damage of equipment belonging to the Kiwanis Club, Kamp Kiwanis, or the camp management caused by the group during its use of or stay at the camp. Kamp Kiwanis, the camp managment, the Kiwanis Club, and Kiwanis International are not responsible for the loss and/or damage of equipment belonging to the rental group during its use and/or stay at the camp. The contact person for the rental group, or a designate will tour and inspect the camp prior to the group departing from the camp. At this time, any damages or losses the camp caused by the group will be noted and a final settlement will be determined.

5. The balance owing is due prior to the rental group departing the camp, unless other arrangements have been made. Please remember to bring a cheque with you to the camp.

6. The rental group is responsible for the upkeep and cleaning of all areas it uses during its stay. The exact procedures will be outlined by the camp management. All facilities are expected to be clean and equipment returned to its proper location prior to the rental group departing the camp.

7. The camp will supply sleeping accommodation with bunk beds and vinyl covered foam mattresses. Rental group participants are expected to supply their own bedding and linens. Rental linen is available upon request with at least two weeks notice. The camp also supplies all cleaning products and related equipment including toilet paper.

8. The rental group will supply program supplies and staff, unless other arrangements have been made. The rental group will also supply its own food and cook(s) when renting Watson Lodge, Venturer Lodge, Jack's Hall, or Easthope Lodge, or the camp food services contractor can be used. The Kiwanis Lodge kitchen is only available on contract. Kamp Kiwanis supplies all cooking and eating utensils.

9. The rental group has non-exclusive use of the camp; there may be other groups on site.

The rental group is expected to vacate the premises on time and in the condition in which the rental group found it. Please note: the check out time is 2:00pm on the last day of the rental (refers to overnight rentals). Groups on site after 2:00pm will be charged for another rental day.
