The Rules
We are a non-alcohol camp. Restrict smoking to the outside. Use of the dock and boating facilities only when a lifeguard is on duty. Use of the beach and waterfront campfire is fine (when we are out of the no-burning season). Parking only in the designated areas. We are on a septic system so nothing non-biodegradable down the sinks or toilets.
We are sorry, but we cannot accomodate pets at camp (Guide Dogs are the only exception).
Camp Pringle is peanut-managed which means in order to protect people with life threatening allergies to peanuts, we do not permit peanuts or items that may contain any peanuts or derivatives at camp during the entire year.
And last but not least – the camp is our home – please treat the property with respect.
Thank you for understanding and cooperating.
Our expectations of Groups using our facility
We ask all groups using the site to be respectful of the tradition and the work that has gone into Camp Pringle to make it what it is today. While we do not insist that user groups share our religious viewpoints, we do not rent our facility to groups whose purpose conflicts with the mission of the camp. We ask all persons to be aware and abide by the code of conduct developed for all United Church camps in B.C.
