ACCREDITATION
It is the Rock Lake United Church Camp Society’s policy that Rock Lake Camp remain fully accredited by both the United Church of Canada (UCC) and the British Columbia Camping Association (BCCA) at all times.

To maintain our accreditation the Society has spent countless hours developing its own Operating Manual which has been well received by many people over the years. To help those just starting to develop their own manuals we publish ours here as a guideline only. Each camp is different – each church is different – each camping association is different – so each individual manual must be developed as a stand alone document. Feel free to use our ideas and we will entertain requests for copies that can be edited on an individual basis.
Our Operating Manual is Up-Dated as of November 3, 2017
