It’s a wholistic program that centres around 5 key elements: Faith Formation, Leadership Development, Community, Service and Experience. Students grow in relationship with one another, they learn practical skills for any volunteer, work or school context and they get to experience the incredible fun that camp offers.
-
A: DTP is for teens going INTO grade 9 and 10 in the upcoming September.
D1 is for those going into Grade 9

-
Because this program is in high demand, we want to ensure that as many campers as possible are able to experience DTP. As a result, we are asking that families please consider choosing one term of DTP to register for and to let us know if you would like to be added to a waitlist if there is space in an additional Term. All waitlist inquiries can be sent to sid@truthmatters.ca
-
Yes. Due to our accreditation process Campers will need to re-apply and submit a new application as we require a new one for each year.
-
A: 16 females and 16 males each term.
That means 8 females in each D1 and D2, and 8 males in D1 and D2.
-
A: Yes. All DTP applicants will be required to submit two character references along with their application. Once campers have submitted their application, they will receive a confirmation email that will provide a link to an online DTP reference form. They can also be found on our website here. (Make sure to use the DTP reference link and not the staff link in this case.) Campers will need to send this link to two references who will click the link, complete the form and submit it online. Once a Camper has submitted their application and our team has received their two references, their application will be ready for review. After that process, acceptance can then be offered into the Program.
(Due to the volume of applicants and references coming into the camp, if you want to check whether the reference has submitted their application, please contact the reference directly).
-
A: There is a non-refundable deposit of $100 due immediately upon “acceptance” into the DTP program.
When you first register your camper, their status will say “Applied” and you won’t have a way to pay. Once your camper submits their two references and they are checked, then they will likely be admitted into the DTP program. Their status will be changed online to “Accepted” and you will receive a confirmation email letting you know it is time to pay. At that point, at least the deposit needs to be paid, with the full amount due by June 1st.
Cancellation: Our policy here is the same as the rest of the camps. If you cancel up to two weeks before DTP, then you will get a refund minus the $100 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel within two weeks of the DTP start date, and we cannot fill your camper’s spot, then there can be no refund.
