Camp Pringle Rules

At Camp Pringle we believe it’s important that everyone has the best time possible while at camp, so we have a set of non-negotiable rules in place by the Camp Board and the Director. The rules are to ensure the safety, protection and comfort of all campers, staff, volunteers, and camp property. It’s a good idea to go over these rules with your child before he/she comes to camp, to make sure he/she knows and understands Camp Pringle’s standards. So participants take ownership of their actions and responsibilities, we ask that all campers sign and return the Acceptance of Camp Pringle Rules (found at the bottom of the Confidential Information Form) to signify their acceptance and willingness to abide by the Camp Pringle Rules.  Failure to adhere to these rules will result in consequences and resolution involving the camper, parents and Director.

  1. Camp Pringle is non-smoking for legal as well as health and fire hazards. No campers are allowed to smoke at camp.

  2. There will be no junk food at camp. We provide great, nutritious meals and snacks for the campers.  Please do not have your child bring snack food, candy, gum etc.

  3. There will be no electronic equipment (walkmans, discmans, gameboys, cell phones, etc.) knives, lighters or comics at camp. These items are not inclusive to everyone in our camp community and stand the chance of being seriously damaged or stolen.

  4. There will be no illegal drugs or alcohol on the camp property in any form.

  5. Vandalism of camp property is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

  6. We discourage visitors at camp during the camping program. Visitors MUST CONTACT THE CAMP DIRECTOR BEFORE ARRIVAL to set up an appropriate time. Visitors can be seen as strangers by children and may cause fear. Camp staff may not be aware of who you are and may respond to you as an intruder, concerned with the safety of the campers.  Parents are asked only to phone the camp in case of emergency.

  7. As it can affect the camp dynamics, except for exceptional circumstances, campers are not permitted to phone friends or family during the week.  If there are special circumstances where you require contact with your child during the camp week please speak to the Director, Registrar/Administrator, or make a note on the Confidential Information Form. 

  8. We ask that campers bring appropriate clothing to camp. 

  9. For your child's safety she/he must not leave camp property unless accompanied by camp staff, have written consent from you as the parent/guardian or have permission from the Camp Director.

And finally, the most important rule: Have fun at camp!

It's approximately 45 minutes from Victoria and 25 minutes from Duncan.  From Victoria, the turn off to Shawnigan Lake is just 2 km past the Petro Canada gas station on the Trans Canada Highway. After turning off the Trans Canada, continue 6 km until you see the sign telling you to take the left road. From there, Camp Pringle is just 7 km more.
