• Payment by Check: Parents/guardians should send a check made payable to "Radnor Township School District" for $140. Please ensure that your child's name is listed on the memo line of the check and that payment is sent in a sealed envelope to the attention of the main office of your child's school.

Camp Canadensis is a beautiful, well-maintained, and extremely popular summer camp facility. The children, staff and parent volunteers will stay in cabins that have bunk beds, cubbies for storage of   their clothing and gear, and indoor plumbing which includes toilet facilities and hot showers. There is a medical cabin on the premises.

Students and staff will travel by charter bus to Camp Canadensis along with their overnight belongings. The bus capacity can only accommodate students and staff, so parent volunteers are asked to carpool and drive to Camp Canadensis.  The distance is approximately 110 miles (2 hours) from our Radnor elementary schools.   

In addition to approximately twenty-five staff members and a medical team, we will also need parent volunteers. Parents/Guardians help us to supervise lessons, meals, recreation time activities, and sleep in cabins to supervise the children. We will need approximately thirty parent volunteers from each school. The approximate 100 parent/guardian volunteers who join us at camp help us to maintain an adult to child ratio of 1:3. 
 
Please note the following important items: 

• If you are a father with a daughter or a mother with a son, please understand that you will not be able to sleep in the same cabin as your son or daughter. Cabins for girls and women are in one section of the camp and boys and men are located in another section. 
• Volunteers must attend all three days of the trip. Accommodating split schedules makes it difficult to maintain consistent programming and safety for students.  
• Camp Canadensis is a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment.
