Girl Guides of Canada-BC

Limited parking is available at each site for Guiders. Parents are asked to park on Linnet Lane and walk campers into their site.

Our reflection area is in a mossy glade behind the Freeman King Site. A small A-Frame shelter with surrounding benches gives everyone a quiet place for reflections. Please advise other campers if you wish a private time with your girls at the A frame.

Crests are $3.00 each and purchased with your rental fees. Contact the Camp Manager at ggckingswood@gmail.com. Kingswood Camp Committee will retain a record of the crests given to each unit. Images of the crests are on display at the Lodge.

Safe Guide forms must include submission as a yellow level water activity for GGC facilitated canoeing at Kingswood Camp. For paddleboarding, Safe Guide requires advanced certification in order to conduct a training session with girls, and a certified instructor must be with the girls on the water. SVI Area recommends that leaders who are interested contact a qualified provider. Information regarding a contact person is available at sviareacampbookings@gmail.com.

We have the following canoes:

• Dark Green Clipper Tripper
• Yellow Clipper Cascade
• Red Clipper Tripper
• Turquoise Clipper Ranger
• White Clipper Tripper
• White Clipper Yukon
• Dull Red Frontiersman
• Green Coleman
• Dark Green Frontiersman
• Red (blue paint under red) Frontiersman

Note: The two white Clipper canoes are in the newest condition, so adults should use these canoes if possible.

*Please note that groups must book the Bill Reith Tent site, if they are booking canoes.

Groups must bring their own propane tanks.

SVI Area Properties rely on rental revenue to maintain the properties. Cancellations that do not allow sufficient time for the property to be rented to another group, results in a loss of irreplaceable income - this policy applies to ALL bookings.

If the booking is cancelled more than 30 days before their booked date, they can receive a full refund of the deposit or can transfer to a new date.

If the booking is cancelled less than 30 days before their booked date, the deposit will not be refunded. If the group would like to rebook for another date, a new deposit will be charged.

If Property management cancels due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. power outage), a full refund of the deposit will be issued.

The deposit amount will be withdrawn from your unit banking account on the 1st Friday after your booking is confirmed. Immediately after camp, Guiders will be send a link to a Feedback form where they can confirm their final numbers. Failure to submit the Feedback form will result in an automatic charge to the Unit based on the total number of participants submitted on the initial booking and the subsidy will not be processed.

The final rental fee will be charged on the 1st Friday after your event date, along with the subsidy, minus any deposit paid. Deposits may be withheld as instructed by the camp manager if the property is left unsecured, uncleaned, or damaged.

Evening use bookings are not eligible for subsidy* and no deposit will be charged. However, payment in full for rental will be withdrawn the 1st Friday after your event date. Evening use rental fees cannot be refunded but can be transferred to a different date with the change is made more than 21 days before the booked date. Infractions for evening use rentals (building unsecure, unclean, etc.) will be levied a $50 fee after the rental.

*Please note that subsidies only apply to SVI units.
