Registration Day Information 

The online registration portal can be accessed through our website by clicking the blue "Register Here" button on any of the program pages (or click here). We expect very high volumes of people registering on registration days, so we recommend that you register as early as possible to avoid being waitlisted.

Due to the high volume of calls we receive on registration days, we will not be processing any phone or in-person registrations at that time. If you do not have access to a computer, please contact our office in advance of your registration day.

Our phone lines will be very busy during registration. Each phone message comes as a voice message to our email account, and will be responded to asap. Email will be more efficient, but if that is not possible, please leave a brief message with your full name, phone number, and reason for calling and we will get back to you as soon as we're able!

Registering Online

Use the link below (or on any of the program pages) to register for camps online. Please read the prompts all the way, as each step in registration will have important information for you. When a form is submitted, the time is reset while you complete the next form. All forms must be completed to secure your registration. With 20 minutes of inactivity, your selections will be released.

Registrations are not considered complete until the Deposit or Full Payment has been received. This is important if you choose to e-transfer, so please send the e-transfer immediately after you register, and it will be applied to your account.

Sessions, Dates & Fees

All information about our camp programs, Grades/ages, session, and fees an be found in the “Summer Camp” section.

Subsidy Applicants

Camp Fircom offers Campership subsidies to families who otherwise couldn't afford the camp fees. 

To apply for a subsidy, complete a "Subsidy Application Form" during the online registration process. You can also select "I applied for a subsidy" on the payment step to postpone payment until your subsidy has been reviewed. 

Finally, all subsidy applicants are required to submit proof of income documents by email within 7 days of registering. Proof of income should be: (a) most recent Notice of Assessment; OR (b) last four months of income slips - including wages, child support, EI, welfare, etc. Your 2022 NOA will be sufficient at registration time, but we will require your 2023 NOA in the spring, before the subsidy is finalized. We give out subsidies in the order we receive them, and we do run out each year. When we have emptied our subsidy account, we take the subsidy application offline.
There are other options for subsidies, such as UGM.

Payment Options

  • Credit Card: We accept Visa and Mastercard for payment through the online registration portal. Please have your credit card ready when you register.

  • E-transfer: We accept Interac E-transfer to info@fircom.ca.

  • Cheque: We check our West Vancouver mailbox infrequently in the off season, but we will accept cheques. Cheques should be made payable to Camp Fircom Society and mailed to Camp Fircom, PO Box 94027 6655 Royal Avenue, West Vancouver, BC V7W 2B8
