Camp is always packed with all sorts of fun, and if we’re being honest, it can get a little messy. With water games, activities, leisure time, campfires and more, you will want to be fully prepared for your time at camp. As wonderful as the weather can be on beautiful Vancouver Island it can also be somewhat unpredictable, so here are some things we suggest you bring and don't bring to NBC.

Bring:

  • Bible & Journal

  • Money for Canteen! (Highs only, 2x a day, hot food available at night. Mids and Kids canteen is included in the registration price)

  • Clothes for the weekend

  • Toiletries (some showers need quarters, although most don’t take them anymore)

  • Team Jerseys from last year if you're returning!

  • Sleeping Bag, Pillow, Sheet for a single mattress

  • Beach Towel and Swim Suit

  • Hats/sunscreen

  • Athletic/Comfortable Clothing

  • Extra Shoes (Running Shoes)/Cleats for Highs Camp (optional)

  • Warm Sweater / Rain Jacket (just in case)

  • Mask (to be worn indoors if necessary)

  • Water bottle

 Don't Bring: 

  • Expensive Electronics

  • Video Games

  • Expensive Jewelry

 

NBC is not liable for any jewelry, cell phones or small devices that you bring to camp. You have other people in your cabin and doors remain unlocked throughout camp. Please be advised and be careful with what you bring. Plus, you'll be having way too much fun to be playing any video games anyways! We want you to be able to take photos and document the awesome week you have at camp but your cell phones are not allowed to be used in cabins or in washrooms. Any use deemed inappropriate by staff gives NBC permission to confiscate the cell phone and return it to the camper at the end of the week. 

Also, we please ask parents to give your student’s head a check for lice a week prior to coming to camp.  This way you will have time to start treatment and not miss any fun time at camp. We do lice checks as students register. Our lice checks are painless, in a separate space, and we will make sure our checks are done with care.
