Hello Friends, 

Sadly, we have made the difficult decision to cancel two of this summer's Camp Spirit sessions due to low registration and the significantly increasing overall costs of the overall camp season. Though Camp Spirit is no longer offering programing in these two communities, Quadra Island United and Nelson United have determined alternative options for campers for this summer. We hope that the offered alternatives can be a fit for your family and Camper!

Quadra Island United Church 
Camp Spirit staff are no longer offering Camp Spirit on Quadra Island. Instead, the Quadra Island United Church community of faith is offering 3 days of morning fun from Monday, August 15 to Wednesday, August 17th! If you are interested in finding out more about or attending this fun program, please contact Mimi Smienk at tel: 1-250-895-9856. 
 
Nelson United Church
Camp Spirit staff are no longer offering Camp Spirit in Nelson. For folks interested in United Church children's summer programs in the Kootenays, there is the option to register for Camp Spirit at Castlegar United Church, Monday August 22 - Friday August 26. 

If you registered your camper for Camp Spirit at Nelson United Church starting Aug 15 (now cancelled), please contact our Camp Spirit Administrators, Lisa and Leah, to transfer your Nelson Camper to the Castlegar United Church Site, or request a refund if attending in Castlegar isn't possible for your family.

Blessings,
Cathy Cryder
Executive Director
