Frequently Asked Questions

An answer to almost all your questions

It's normal to have a lot of questions when you're considering whether to send your child to summer camp for the first time or not. To help make the process as easy as possible, we've provided a list of questions we receive frequently below.

Registration period

Registration will begin on December 16th ! You will need to go to our online registration platform: jeminscrismaintenant to register your child for a summer stay or for the winter track. Whether it is your child's first summer at Tekakwitha or their eighth, do not delay in registering them because places in each group are limited.

French language

Camp Tekakwitha is proud to be 100% French-speaking. French is the language used for activities, music, communications, etc. You must therefore have an intermediate-advanced level of French (B2 minimum) to participate.

We are not an immersion camp for beginners.

Laundry

Our laundry attendant does campers' laundry every 7-10 days, so please pack clothes for this period, taking into account your child's habits. Everything must be identified (labels or written in pencil). Clothes from each cabin are washed together, so even small items must be identified (socks, underwear, accessories, etc.). Everything goes in the washer and dryer, as we do not have a dry cleaning service or air drying facilities.

Communication during their stay

Campers do not have access to telephone or internet. You can contact them by letter or email:

67 Camp Tekakwitha Road
Leeds, ME
04263, USA

message@campdevacances.com

However, too many messages can have the opposite effect and accentuate nostalgia. We recommend 2-3 messages per week. Don't forget to write their full name!

Boutique spending limit

We ask that you establish a shopping budget for your child; a limit to use if they wish to purchase items at the Chez Claire boutique during their stay. In case they forget, we sell toothbrushes, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, etc. In addition, we have several Tekakwithian themed items such as sweatshirts, sweaters, caps, etc. We will send you the invoice after their stay. The budgeted amount will not be charged if your child does not purchase anything.
