NEW MULTI-LEVEL FEE STRUCTURE
As Canoe Island French Camp approaches its 40th anniversary, we are embarking on a number of camp infrastructure projects intended to insure that our facility will continue to support our excellent camp programs in the future. As part of this  effort we are putting in place a voluntary multi-level fee structure than provides families an opportunity to pay more than the base level camp tuition that has traditionally been requested. Your choice of what fee level you decide to pay will be treated confidentially. We thank you, in advance, for your your registration at whatever tuition level you are comfortable.We do have a financial aid program for academically motivated children who need financial assistance to attend camp.

Level I is our base tuition level, that requires outside funding efforts tocover the direct and indirect costs of operating, maintaining, and upgrading the camp.

Level II is a higher tuition level that covers about 90% of the true costs of operating, maintaining and upgrading the camp including our low camper to staff ratio and the maintenance and upkeep of our buildings, boats, equipment and island infrastructure.

Level III is our highest tuition level that covers all of the true costs of operating camp.

A Typical Day
canoe_island_pool_07

Mornings start with French language class at all levels, followed by activities such as fencing, French cuisine, and French culture, as well as theater, art, and photography: activities you choose prior to camp. French songs, vocabulary for activities, and French games are incorporated into each day.

  In the afternoon choose on a daily basis between swimming, sailing, kayaking, archery, art, theater, rock climbing and a variety of sports (tennis, soccer, volleyball, and basketball). You even have the option to learn to snorkel in the camp's swimming pool and then explore the shorelines to investigate the fascinating marine organisms of the area. 

Evening programs can include campfires, theatrical and musical productions, beach cookouts or campfires, camp-wide games, astronomy, and cultural or natural history presentations.  Joseph_pool_kayak

Registered Camper Packets

Camper Information Forms 

Please download these forms and fill them out for each camper.  Some provide information to campers and parents; others provide us with information about our campers.  These should be returned at least one month in advance of programs to allow us time to read them, plan tipi groups, and morning and afternoon activity groups. Early returns have a better chance of getting their first choice for morning activities.
