Pricing and Registration
Pricing Options
KlezKanada’s pricing system is designed to help keep the Summer Retreat accessible. All rates include programming, meals, and accommodation (if staying on site). Please note that the price selected does not affect room assignment or participation options.
Please note that ALL registration rates are heavily subsidized by KlezKanada through fundraising. The full cost per registrant, including all costs associated with running the Summer Retreat, is closer to $4,000 CAD.
Price Option A:
I want to add an additional amount to my registration fee to help make camp more accessible to more people.
Price Option B:
I want to pay the standard registration fee.
Price Option C:
I have a limited budget and want to pay a reduced registration fee.
If the lower price tier still leaves camp out of reach for you, we encourage you to apply for the Work Exchange Program, the Bernstein Bursary Program, or the Azrieli Scholarship Program.

Family Discounts
KlezKanada offers family discounts to make the Summer Retreat as accessible as possible for groups of parents/guardians and minors. This discount is not automatically applied but can be requested in the registration form.
Standard registration is available to families at an average 25% discount. Registration fees will be discounted upon invoicing for registration as follows:
First and Second Adult (18 yrs. +): 20% discount
Teens (13-17 yrs. old): 25% discount
Children (5-12 yrs. old): 30% discount
Children 4 and under are welcome without charge provided that they sleep in a playpen cot (provided by participants) or on a floor mattress.
Only one discount (either Family Discount or Work Exchange Program discount) can be applied to any person. The higher discount will apply for any member of a family group who participates in the WEP. However, family groups MAY also apply for our Bursary Program if they need additional financial assistance.
Cancellation Policy
Registered participants who cancel on or before Monday July 6th, 2026 will receive a full refund minus a $250 per person administration fee. Refunds after this date incur a $250 per person administration fee and an additional $250 per person fee to cover some of the committed costs to our vendors. Add-ons for bedding or shuttle tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
No refunds or discounts will be issued for cancellation on or after July 31st. This applies to full cancellations, late arrival or early departure. The only exception to this policy would be in the event of a medical emergency, which would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Azrieli Scholarship recipients who cancel on or before July 31st will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee. No refund will be issued after this date.
In the event KlezKanada cancels the Summer Retreat for any reason, paid participants will be refunded in full for their registration, bedding, and shuttle ticket purchases.
