This year again GEMS camp will be held at Webb’s Holiday Acres, located in Aldergrove.  Webb’s offers both swimming and horseback riding which are two activities that we know the girls look forward to.  Horseback riding is OPTIONAL.  If you do not want to ride the horses, let Counselor Faye know.  Other activities include crafts, games, free time and Sunday morning worship.  

Checklist for Parents (forms are at the bottom of this page and are to be handed in by April 17th).  

1.    ONE off-site activity consent form from Willoughby Church - just page 3, please!

2.    TWO waiver forms from Webb’s Holiday Acres.

3.    Write a cheque payable to Willoughby Church for the balance owing (I will send out an e-mail with your balance).

4.    Please advise if your daughter has any allergies or food concerns with specifics.  I will forward this information to the kitchen staff as well as the parents’ contact information should they need more clarification.    

Please bring the following items to camp:

- Labeled helmet for horseback riding that fits your daughter (will not be allowed to ride without one).  This can be a biking helmet, hockey helmet, skiing helmet or riding helmet.  Basically, anything that protects the head.
