Policies

Participants ages 8 and up are welcome to attend the Camp. Participants who are 16 years of age and younger must come with a parent or guardian to act as their Chaperone. This rule applies to resident and non-resident participants.

For participants who are 17 years of age and attending Camp alone, we ask that you send a reference letter signed by a parent/guardian relieving the Camp from any legal liability, since we don’t provide Camp counselors and cannot monitor participants’ activities/whereabouts.

Residence rooms are not locked and the waterfront is not supervised, therefore the Leahy Music Camp requires parents/chaperones to know the whereabouts of participants for whom they are guardians and to be responsible for their actions, as noted in the Camp waiver document.

The Peterborough Regional Hospital is a 30 minute drive from Camp (Lakefield College School). The Village is serviced by ambulance and fire services. Canadian participants are covered for emergencies by their Provincial health plans; please ensure you bring your Health Card to Camp. International participants are advised to acquire travel health coverage prior to arriving at Camp.

Registrations including completed forms and payments are accepted until June 24, 2026 (unless the Camp is sold out by then, in which case a waiting list will be established).

Fees are payable in either Canadian or US funds, by personal cheque, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, or American Express for Canadian customers). All cheques and money orders should be made out to LEAHY MUSIC CAMP.

If cancellations are made before May 15, 2026, registrants will receive a full refund minus the service fees charged at the time of registration and a $50.00 administration fee. Cancellations after May 15th will receive a refund minus a $150.00 administrative fee and the service fees charged at the time of registration.
