Do the kids ever leave the grounds? Are there ever any offsite activities?
All activities are planned on the secured and supervised grounds. At no time will campers ever leave the school grounds.
Will campers be going to a pool?
No. Campers will never be going to a pool during their time at STELLA. On hot days, we will have small water activities planned to cool off and have fun!
What is the structure of your pricing?
Camp registration begins in January, and as we approach the summer camp start date, our prices gradually increase each month.
*Taxes do not apply to camp fees.
Registration pricing starts at $250/week. Extra K.I.D.S program fees and lunch fees may apply if selected during your online registration.
How are the discounts at your camp structured and applied?
Early-bird special: Secure the lowest prices of the year by registering in January; prices increase monthly thereafter.
Bulk discount: Enjoy 5% off when registering for 5-6 weeks, and 10% off for 7-8 weeks.
Sibling discount: Receive up to 20% off for additional children after the first one. This discount will be applied automatically during checkout when registering 2 or more children under your name for the same week(s).
Does STELLA conduct background checks on its employees?
Indeed, all STELLA team members undergo a thorough screening process conducted by a third party, which includes comprehensive background and police checks.
Does early care and extended care come with an extra fee?
Early morning care is provided at no cost, running from 7am until 9am. However, extended care beyond 4:00 pm incurs an additional fee of $10/day. Additionally, there will be an extra charge if a camper is not picked up by closing time.
What is the ratio of campers to counselors at your camp?
Stella strives to provide an impressive 5:1 ratio. The exact ratio cannot always be guaranteed as unexpected staff scheduling changes may happen; but we always promise to follow and exceed the Association du Québec's required camper to counselor ratio.
What are K.I.D.S programs?
K.I.D.S stands for Knowledge, Imagination, Discovery and Sports.
Each day, for a 60-minute session, campers will have the opportunity to work closely with a specialist in their chosen activity. Our diverse range of activities spans Academics, Arts, Sports, and more, ensuring there's something exciting for every child, whether they want to refine existing skills or embark on new adventures.
How often do the kids play outside?
Our campers have ample chances to engage in outdoor play, weather permitting. We promote outdoor activities and offer a variety of enjoyable games and sports for them to participate in.
Is it possible to enroll my child in a program if they don't meet the specified age requirement?
No, STELLA's programs are specifically tailored for the following age groups:
- Little Explorers: 3 and 4 years old
- Explorers: 5 to 11 years old
- Trailblazers: 12 to 15 years old
Does your camp offer lunch or are we responsible for providing our own meals?
STELLA is proud to provide the option of a nutritious lunch program! We've teamed up with a catering service to supply healthy lunches for our campers. The cost is of $12 per day per camper.
If you prefer not to participate in the hot lunch program, please ensure your child brings their own lunch.
Do you have a nut free policy?
Yes. To ensure the safety of all children, we have implemented a firm policy prohibiting snacks containing peanuts or peanut products. Parents are kindly requested to refrain from providing snacks that contain peanuts or any derivatives. Any snacks found to contain peanuts will be promptly confiscated. We strongly encourage the provision of alternative snacks that are free from peanuts, and our staff members will be thoroughly trained in emergency procedures related to allergies. This policy is aimed at fostering a secure environment for children with peanut allergies.
What happens if I am tardy in picking up my child?
The standard camp day concludes at 4:00 pm. If you arrive after this time, your child will be enrolled in our Extended Care program for that day, incurring a fee of $10 per child.
For children already in Extended Care, if you arrive after closing time, a charge of $1 per minute per child will be applied.
Where are you located?
We have multiple locations to choose from in Laval.
Do I have to sign up for an entire week or can I only select a few days?
If you wish to only bring your child to camp for a few days during the week, you can select the "Drop-In" option when registering.
Can I get the multiple week/sibling discount if I add them after my initial purchase?
Unfortunately, all discounts only apply to a purchase that is made simultaneously. All additions made after the initial purchase will not qualify for the discount unless they are for multiple weeks or persons.
